"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."

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!"

Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views

10/10 Excellent
"My family of 5 enjoyed our 5 night stay here very much. The pools were nice to soak in after a day of hiking, ranging from 80.6 degrees to around 105 I think. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and everything seemed very clean. We enjoyed the included breakfast in the mornings before starting our day, and ice from the bar to fill our water bottles. We were disappointed that the Ficus coffee bar didn't open until 3, but after about the 3rd day we realized that the bar inside the restaurant served almost all the same drinks and they were open all day. The views of the volcano (in good weather) are spectacular from the rear of the property."

"The location is extraordinary - El Castillo is c. 40 min from La Fortuna. Although it rained consistently, the views were stunning when the weather cleared. We enjoyed local restaurants and exploring the area from a more relaxed setting. We were not able to connect with the on-site concierge, so we are not able to comment. Comments in the guest book affirmed her helpfulness. The property was spacious and well-appointed. We found it good value for money."
