Lost Iguana Resort
Tropical resort with two pools and a spa
About this stay
Two pools rather than one is the distinguishing detail here, giving guests a choice between a quieter dip and a more social pool deck without leaving the property. Rooms are styled with a tropical theme and carry volcano views as a named amenity, air conditioning and room service, positioning this closer to a full resort than the more basic lodges nearby. The spa adds a wellness angle without being the property's central identity the way it is at some dedicated wellness lodges on this list. Restaurante La Roca Bistro is a four-minute taxi ride away for guests wanting a change from the on-site restaurant and bar. Free breakfast, free parking, full-service laundry and an airport shuttle round out a stay built for comfort over rustic charm.

Our take
I would choose Lost Iguana Resort for its finish and its volcano views. Tropically styled rooms look toward the volcano, and two pools, a spa and a bar give the property more to offer than most lodges nearby. Air conditioning, room service, an airport shuttle, free breakfast and free parking are included. Restaurante La Roca Bistro is four minutes away by taxi. It is a polished option for guests who want comfort alongside the scenery.
- ✓Book a spa treatment early in the stay rather than the last day, availability tightens in high season.
- ✓Pick whichever of the two pools suits the moment, one runs quieter than the other by design.
- ✓Use the airport shuttle for the transfer from San Jose rather than arranging your own taxi.
