This is my second year staying at The Lost Iguana hotel, and I absolutely love the vibe and the staff. It's a very peaceful place, and you feel like you're in paradise. The staff, especially Eduardo, who is the restaurant manager, truly make a difference. Because of people like him, I find myself wanting to return again and again. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home.

This beautiful hotel immerses you in nature. From your room, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Arenal mountain. However, keep in mind that the nearest city is about 25 minutes away, so your evening dining and socializing options are limited to the hotel itself.
