"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."

"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.
