It’s serene ambience. The food in the on-site restaurant is really good. Breakfast is great. The view is amazing. Nice personnel. The property is far from everything else so make sure you have a rental car if you chose this property. The puma trail is fun. Rooms have dehumidifiers which is nice. The doors from the balcony have large spaces between the door and the floor so expect bugs in the room.

Amazing Stay at the Lost Iguana Resort & Spa

The Lost Iguana Resort & Spa was amazing! The resort property is a beautiful rain forest. They have a hiking trail through the property with a hanging bridge. There are flowering plants all over the property. We had a perfect view of Arenal Volcano from our balcony. It was a truly wonderful experience to stay here. The onsite restaurant was very good. We will return to this resort again!
