Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the hotel was lovely! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We had decorated the room for a friend who was celebrating, and when we came back after housekeeping had passed by, we were so pleasantly surprised. They had folded the towels into the shape of a cake and even used some of our balloons to complete the decoration. 🎂🎈 It was such a thoughtful and creative gesture and made the celebration feel even more special. We really appreciated the extra effort and attention to detail. Thank you for making our stay so memorable! ❤️"

"Room was spacious with a nice balcony although we had a parking lot view. The property was beautiful and all the pools-spa were worth the drive ."

Villa Laurel: Located on a livestock farm on the foothills of Arenal Volcano

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing house and views. Conveniently located close to town but also set back off the main road that it felt secluded and remote. House was clean and had everything we needed. The heated pool and views from the pool was incredible. One of the best house rentals we have stayed at and we hope to visit again."
