Top Alajuela Province Hotel Reviews

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Lost Iguana was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was delicious. My kids enjoyed the pools and exploring the nature trail. We also enjoyed the feeling of seclusion and the ability to see cool plants and animlas on the property. Highly recommend! The only challenge is getting there...we don't recommend making your first drive to Lost Iguana in the dark."

Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here with 2 small kids for 3 nights. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed, plays a kid friendly pool, and great breakfast. My only complaint was that the water in the shower wasn’t hot enough- to get a somewhat comfortable temperature you had to reduce the water flow to very weak. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to the ladies working at the wet bar - they were very kind to our kids."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Hotel Lomas del Volcan. It felt delightfully secluded from the main strip because of the design of the property. Having a little bungalow set in the woods was very relaxing - it was like being in an Ewok village! The staff was super helpful, and the breakfast buffet had a great selection of fruits. The swim-up bar had an amazing view of the volcano. Getting to other locations was very easy. We did a lot of tours with the hotel, and we were lucky that the tours were not very busy, so we essentially had a naturalist tour guide for our family of four during the volcano trip and hanging bridges tour. We especially liked the caving tour."

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had an incredible stay at Arenal Manoa! We stayed in one of the Chato Suites and the view of Arenal volcano from our patio was absolutely incredible. The private pool was super warm and incredibly relaxing after a long day of exploring Fortuna. The springs on property were great for that as well. The staff was helpful and visited our room twice daily for a clean and a turn down service. We always had enough towels for our family of four and even some extra sweets and fruit left by the staff. Couldn’t recommend Arenal Manoa enough!"

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Noah's Hideaway section of the Noah's Forest by Tifakara property, which is very new (opened in 2026). Truly spectacular. They spared no expense on all aspects of the villa, gorgeous (and notable) villla door, smart everything, integrated speakers, infinity pool/tub, 18 head shower, automated bidet, immaculate lighting, all in all, absolutely spectacular. And the rest of the details didn't disappoint either, delicious breakfast, very helpful staff for checking in (and very nice open air "lobby"). Would/will easily recommend this property to others."

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The hotel is so pretty with beautiful rainforest surrounding it. Even with rain all the time during our stay we found it quite comfortable. My kids loved the hot springs and cold plunge pool. It was quite inside the main road compared to other places but we found the drive quite interesting. We did chocolate tour, hikes and yoga at the hotel. Our only request is wish the hotel changed their breakfast menu everyday. With 5 days of stay we were tired of the same food even though they were very good."
