Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast and friendly staff"

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Views are beyond beautiful! Property was very clean. Staff, specially the ones in restaurant and lounge area, were extremely friendly and full of suggestions. Breakfast options were VERY limited for someone with egg allergies. Unfortunately there was an issue with plumbing and we didn’t have water the entire last night/morning we were there. Not being able to shower after being in the pool and having to travel all day the next day was quite inconvenient."

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Literally could not be happier with this stay. Not only was it a gorgeous location with a stunning view, but the rooms were beautiful, absolutely spotless, and the free breakfast was delicious. But honestly, it was how helpful and amazing the staff were. They gave us such great recommendations, helped us with every question and need we had, and were genuinely so good at their job and so joyful! I can't wait to come back to Costa Rica literally just to stay here again."

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"This place was so lovely. So many trails and things to do. Wished we had more time to explore the large grounds. We saw a toucan near the bird feeding area so that was a bonus. And coastis while walking the trails. The room was quiet and we had a nice lake view. Would stay here again!"

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Loved our stay at this resort . Everything was perfect. The hotel restsurant was very good and breakfast ess included . You can pick from a menu. The balcony was awesome in our room. Used it a lot. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Only suggestion would be to add someway to store clothing in room. No closet and limited hanging space."

Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This resort lived up to our expectations. It was more expensive than other places, but they lived up to the expectation and went above and beyond in many different areas. We went for a honeymoon and they gave us many upgrades and made our experience really special. Food prices are high, but if you’re smart, you can still enjoy your time and pick some lower cost items that are fantastic."
