I stayed at this hotel with my husband and son in June. The room we stayed in was air conditioned and had cable TV. We were there for 4 days and every morning we were greeted by the owner's Lilian and Luis and they always asked if we needed anything and if there was anything they could help us with.... more

The Lizard King Resort Hotel in Puerto Viejo is one of the better places to stay in this town, with an included breakfast that was the deciding factor in staying longer than I’d originally planned-the pancakes are highly addictive!

We were looking for the best value for our money and we certainly got it! The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We loved that use of the internet... more

I was disappointed when I got to this hotel. Yet again I followed the advice of The Lonely Planet guidebook, which puts it in the "top end" category, and states that it cost $90 a night. So on this basis I was expecting comfort. I didn't find comfort. I certainly wouldn't describe it as "top end" (I dread to think... more

The Lizard King Hotel is a great budget hotel. My girlfriend and I stayed here for $30 a night and really enjoyed our stay.
