Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Los Lagos, but I would particularly like to highlight the zip line experience. Antonio and his team were very professional and made the experience fun and safe. We got lucky as our family of 4 including two kids ages 10 and 12 were the only ones signed up for our time slot and the team took extra effort to ensure we enjoyed the experience and went out of their way to photograph and video us. Because we were a small group, we also had the chance to try the Tarzan Swing. What fun! Would highly recommend this resort and the zip line activity! Also recommend renting a car for easy access to La Fortuna"

10/10 Excellent
"The Royal Corin is a beautifully maintained property staffed by professional, attentive and friendly staff. The thermal pools were tranquil and relaxing after a hike around the volcano on one of the hotel sponsored tours. We dined at all of the restaurants on property and appreciated the convenience when we did not want to go out. La Fortuna is a 45 minute walk on uneven terrain, but Ubering was easy and only about $5 each way. We enjoyed several local restaurants and souvenir shops there, and found many English speakers and friendly conversation with the locals there. Our time at The Royal Corin was enjoyable and memorable, definitely worthy of a return visit!"

Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay here! The hotel was wonderful, with a private little cabin that felt very cozy and peaceful. The air conditioning was strong and worked really well, and the chairs and hot tub outside the room were definitely highlights. One thing to note is that you need to fill the hot tub quite a while in advance before you can use it, so it is better to plan ahead. The hotel is also not far from La Fortuna town, which is very convenient. The water pressure was not particularly strong, but it was still perfectly adequate. Since the cabins are surrounded by nature, you will inevitably see some small bugs around the room and outside. So if you are not comfortable with insects, this may not be the best choice. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend it."

"Everything about this place was amazing. The staff, the gardens, and the wildlife were all top notch! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants a luxurious resort feel with exceptional staff. The only downside to our experience was that we paid for the delux river bungalow but there was no view of the river from our room at all. If I would have known that, I would have been fine with the garden bungalows because it was the same view. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely do it again!"

Other than that, once you hike the volcano and check out the waterfall, there isn’t much else to do in the town so the resort is the most exciting thing to do and will be a highlight of your trip. Let them take you on a sightseeing tour and they’ll spot animals for you that you wouldn’t otherwise see. Horseback riding, coffee tours, etc. truly impeccable place. if they improved the food quality, this place would be a 100/100"
