Beautiful, amazing stay!
We loved our stay at Lost Iguana!! ALL of the staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. The resort was beautiful with a hiking trail and other activities. The room was fantastic with a private patio and super cool outdoor shower. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay at Lost Iguana. Everyone working there was so kind and accommodating. Beautiful resort with lush greenery. Transfers via golf cart throughout resort available if raining (or just don’t feel like walking up/downhill). The room was beautiful and clean. Would stay again!

Spacious and beautiful room with a cool design, set in an astonishing park. Excellent service, the only reason I didn’t give it a 5/5 is the water was not hot enough if you like to take a hotter shower.

Even better than it looks in photos. Such a lush tropical paradise! I love all the curving pathways between the restaurant, reception and rooms. The pool and hot tub are outstanding !

Service is awesome, the people are so nice. The Arenal volcano views are spectacular and fell in love right the lush rainforest from patio. Didn’t get a chance to experience SPA. The gift shop view is also awesome.

Lost Iguana and their staff were truly magical. I cannot say enough good things about the property and the service. My only regret is that we didn’t receive notice that the pool/bar would be closed during our stay.

The staff at the Lost Iguana, especially Samir, were amazing: helpful, friendly, professional and very kind. The pool area is very nicely kept and it was great to have the bar right there. The food was great and we loved the views from the room. Everything was clean and it was a great experience overall!

10/10 Exceptional

This property was beautiful but definitely a bit further from anything. No shops or food is walk able. One restaurant on site was decent but very expensive. Pools were nice, one heated and one not. Trail around the property was super cool but had a lot of random inclines. Getting TO the trail up the big driveway started it off tough. We had ants in our room right away and they seemed to come from the beautiful flowers that were placed in our room. Couldn’t leave a single snack around because ants would come very quick. You’re in the middle of all the nature and an amazing volcano view but keep in mind you’ll want a vehicle to get around or just stay put. Mistico was ten mins up the road, the hotel offers a round trip shuttle so book through them!
