"The house was adorable. Better than expected. Modern amenities but with a cozy feel. Plenty of space for a family of 5 . We absolutely loved the outdoor table, and the adorable fish pond out front. Lots of privacy, but didn’t feel too secluded. If we’re ever able to come back to Costa Rica, we will definitely stay here again."

La Laguna del Lagarto Eco-Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The perfect and premier ecolodge for birdwatching and photography in Costa Rica with unique opportunities to watch King Vultures and other rare birds. We saw 14 adult and 6 juvenile King Vultures at the feeding station, 5-20 meters away, together with about 40 Black Vultures. Fruit feeding stations attract dozens of birds including toucans, parrots and Great Curassows. About a dozen palm trees with breeding holes attract diverse range of birds to breed 5-15 meters in front of the lodge, including a pair of Central American Pygmy-Owl and two pairs of Black-crowned Tityra. Excellent delicious food prepared at the lodge’s restaurant."
