"Before you book there, you have to be aware that you have to pass through the yard of charming people to get to the room, but they have a big dog (German Shepherd) that greets you with much enthusiasm by jumping on you and playfully trying to bite your arms…Not the best experience, even if you love dogs… They do their best to hold him when they hear you, but when they don’t, it can be scary… The room itself is large and airy, the king size bed is very comfortable, it is super clean, but the...

"An awesome well kept place for 2. Ideal for resting and getting cleaned up for your next adventure! Super close to all the tourist attractions, but away from the main road, so the nights are peacefully secluded from any noise."

"The property gave us a view of the volcano, had comfortable beds for the 3 of us, a kitchen, dining area and a clean bathroom. The host, Reyna, was very kind! She arranged travel and an activity for us, and was extremely flexible with our check out time. She also did our laundry for us ($4/kg) and it was cleanly folded when returned. We had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable staying here, highly recommend this to everyone! Pura Vida:)"

"Really large rooms with jacuzzi inside. Complimentary entrance and shuttle to Kitoku hot springs was a great bonus. Breakfast was fine - I’ve had greater variety and quality at other stays on this trip but it was good with standard Costa Rican and US options. Two things I felt could have been better a) in the hotel information and at breakfast there were lots of warnings of charges should patrons break the rules which I understand but felt a little unwelcoming, b) I was asked which restaurant I would like to eat at when I arrived and picked the informal option, and on arriving there was told I couldn’t eat from their menu as all their dishes were for a minimum of two people which was very unwelcoming for solo travellers. Whilst the staff tried to solve the issue and said I could order from their à la carte restaurant and have it brought down I needed to see the menu so changed restaurant. I don’t blame the staff for this, I’ve just never been to a restaurant where it’s entire premise is you have to be in a group 2+ and found the experience alienating."
"You could stay here and experience so much the area has to offer! Zip lining is a bit pricey compared to other options in the area, but their breathtaking mountain views and incredible breakfast are worth it. The entire property is immaculately organized and clean, and I would definitely book again. The hot springs were fantastic, but I believe there might be better ones further down the road. Overall, I would give this place a solid 10 out of 10."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Lost Iguana Resort. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful, especially Charlie who was our bellman. The breakfast buffet was incredible, a standout for sure. Staff in the restaurant were great, too. Our kids liked the pools, though the lower pool was very cold, too cold for me to enjoy. The hot upper pool was nice and hot! Our room was clean and the high ceilings made it feel bigger than it was. Our patio was very private and peaceful. We saw glimpses of the volcano from our patio, but only once saw it in full during our 5 night stay in July. The umbrellas provided by the hotel were clutch, definitely needed! They are numbered according to your room number. Unfortunately someone else took ours from the restaurant one night, but the staff brought them back to our room without us even requesting. I would’ve liked to use the gym in the morning, but it didn’t open until 10am - too late, we were already on to our adventures then. Our family really enjoyed the Puma Trek as well. It was a great length and we never saw anyone else on the trail!
The location was a little farther from the main area, and my daughter got carsick on the windy roads. We generally prefer more secluded places, but next time we might opt for something closer to more restaurants."
"One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited, truly magical.
The room was modern, spotless, and incredibly well thought out. Most rooms have their own private patio, which was perfect for unwinding after a long day and just taking in the surroundings.
One thing that really stood out was all the complimentary activities the hotel offers. You have the daily wildlife tour and the night animal tour, both of which were fantastic. There are plenty of other great activities as well.
The hot springs are something else entirely — beautifully designed and unlike anything I've experienced before. I also loved that there was a cooler pool right next to them, complete with a slide for the kids.
I had an amazing time here and genuinely hope to come back someday. Don't miss this one out!"
"The property itself is beautiful and well maintained. I really enjoyed the trails and bird watching tower. Everyone on staff was amazing as well. Reception was so helpful in planning my itinerary and arranging transportation. The on site tour guides were knowledgeable and passionate about their work. The food was delicious with lots of vegan options. My only minor suggestion for improvement is that the spa should be moved away from the pool area as it gets a bit noisy. Overall though, I loved my time at Finca Luna Nueva."
