Overall Ratings & Reviews Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

This was an amazing resort with the best staff ever! Food was great, room view amazing, good hike on the property. The rain at night made for some great sleep and well as the birds and critters singing all night! I would recommend 10/10 to anyone!

Loved it so much we extended our stay! The breakfast was incredible! Excellent swim up pool bar too!

Amazing property w wonderful staff. The grounds are beautiful. The bridge trails were awesome with monkeys right there ! Room had incredible arenal view and was very spacious

The resort was absolutely perfect in every way. We would definitely go back ! Felt home away from home. The staff was great !!

This property is located in the mountains of the jungle. Great for calm, quiet, and relaxing holiday. Not great if you want to meet people and socialize… everyone went to bed at 7pm. Hotel room had stunning views of the volcano. Definitely ask for a second floor room. As the resort is located on a mountain be prepared for lots of hills and stairs. They also have vans/golf carts that you can call to drive you around but we found the vans to be more cumbersome than they were worth. Wish they had more golf carts. Breakfast was good and inclusive in the rate. Sunday made to order ommlettes. The dinner was just ok and expensive… ate there twice and we weren’t thrilled. Not a lot of other options around but worth driving for other food options. The green spoon and Raul Castano on the way to la fortuna is 10/10. Hot tub was too hot and pool too cold… a bit unfortunate. Overall 4/5 stay at Lost Iguana.

Beautiful location, clean rooms, very friendly staff.

Amazing place, staff was just always going above and beyond

The Lost Iguana Resort & Spa was amazing! The resort property is a beautiful rain forest. They have a hiking trail through the property with a hanging bridge. There are flowering plants all over the property. We had a perfect view of Arenal Volcano from our balcony. It was a truly wonderful experience to stay here. The onsite restaurant was very good. We will return to this resort again!

The most beautiful views, hotel and people.

Very clean , nice to walk around and perfect swimming pool has a very nive ciew to the volcano and good food.

Great view of the volcano.

Great hotel! The staff were fantastic! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable about the area. Booked activities for us. Nelly made me the best latte.

The room was beautiful, clean, and had an amazing view. All the staff were helpful and kind. The property has a great hiking trail, and plenty of spaces to view the wildlife.

Loved the on property hike and swimming pool with bar.

Loved the spacious room and outdoor private shower space. Enjoyed the beautiful grounds and hiking trails. Food was excellent. Staff very friendly.

The only concern I had during my stay was that there were some issues with the flow of water from the bathroom sink. Sometimes the flow would be very minimal. The shower drain often clogged, so you would be standing ankle-deep in the shower water. Otherwise, the restaurant was great and the view of the volcano from our room was beautiful! The room was clean and staff were friendly.

We loved Lost Iguana! This is our second trip to Costa Rica and our first to the Arenal Volcano area. The hotel grounds were lovely and very close to the Hanging Bridges. We booked a full day tour (bridges, volcano, waterfall) and spent the other two days hanging out at the pool/pool bar. We ate at the hotel restaurant for most of our meals and thought it was good and the price was reasonable. The breakfast buffet was also great. The hotel trail was also great (takes about 45 minutes). Be prepared to walk a lot of hilly terrain!

This property is gorgeous, and very tastefully designed nestled into the jungle with amazing views.

We loved being in the jungle and this resort definitely felt like we were one with nature!

Wonderful location for a family stay around Arenal volcano. Extremely nice staff and just far enough off the beaten path to avoid crowds while still being close to it all.
