“In my opinion, this resort stands out as a tranquil escape, nestled in the heart of the rainforest with striking views of the Arenal Volcano. The fusion of Balinese art and Costa Rican craftsmanship creates a unique atmosphere, complemented by exclusive access to nature trails and rejuvenating spa treatments. The heated pool with a swim-up bar is, I believe, a highlight.”

Lost Iguana Resort offers spacious rooms with volcano views and comfortable beds, often mentioned as a highlight. Many appreciate the convenience of on-demand golf cart service to navigate the property and access amenities like the pool and restaurant. Guests enjoy exploring the well-maintained trails through the jungle, observing wildlife and beautiful gardens; however, some have found the restaurant experience disappointing. Being near the Hanging Bridge and offering a unique experience in the Costa Rican mountains makes it ideal for relaxation.

inedible seafoodhigh water price
The food at the restaurant was NOT good. I ordered pasta with seafood. The seafood was hard as a rock. It was inedible, yet they still charged me for it. They offered water with or without gas upon seating. I ordered sparkling water and they charged me $10 per bottle!!! We didn't see a menu or know the price. I paid $20 just for two bottles of sparkling water!

Great Stay with Amazing Views

volcano viewhelpful staffgreat massage
Room 52 provided a volcano view! Staff was eager to help transport me around the hotel. Jasary and Jenny at the spa gave me a wonderful experience. Jenny's deep tissue massage included stretches like a tai massage, exactly what I needed after excursions.
I booked through a third-party. I was then asked to pay for experiences that were usually included for hotel guests, this was not great.
Rooms
9/10
The room featured comfortable beds. A division separated the shower area from the bathroom. A balcony faced the volcano, perfect for listening to birdsong and observing. There was a dehumidifier installed in the room.

Wonderful Stay with Fine Views

I am grateful for the wonderful experience. My wife and I enjoyed the volcano view from our balcony. The balcony included rocking chairs and a jacuzzi. I was happy to have a modern bathroom that was clean.
I found the steep hotel challenging to navigate. The shuttle service was helpful , but wait times were sometimes inconvenient.
