Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Stay at Lost Iguana Resort & Spa. We loved our suite, especially the unique outdoor shower! The volcano views (when the fog cleared) were stunning. Huge shoutout to the transportation team, they were always prompt, friendly, and smiling. The food was excellent, and the restaurant staff were wonderful. The pools were relaxing, and even though the spa was under renovation, our massages were still fantastic. Being 25–30 minutes from La Fortuna didn’t bother us at all, the peace and nature were worth it. Highly recommend!"
