Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

3.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (800)
"Wonderful stay at Arenal Observatory Lodge. Our only disappointment was not being able to see the volcano in its entirety due to stubborn low hanging clouds. It’s a beautiful property with lots to see for nature lovers and bird watchers. Bring rain gear even if it is supposed to he the dry season. Don't miss The Nest tower."

Takes about ten minutes off the main road so not handy if you are heading in and out all the time but so secluded and quiet when you are there. The view alone is worth the effort. The spacious room was more than adequate. "

3.5 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1001)
"I would say Lost Iguana Resort was the best part of our stay in Costa Rica compared to other places in Quepos or San Jose. The resort is tucked deep inside the rainforest, this resort offered a serene retreat with stunning rooms and a tranquil ambiance. If you are a bird entusiast, this is one of the nicest places to hear the soothing symphony of bird sounds all through the day.
