My stay at Lost Iguana was absolutely unforgettable! The luxury suite offered breathtaking views of Arenal and the surrounding jungle, which made for the perfect spot to enjoy my morning coffee on the balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as breakfast wasn't as great as I had hoped. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but the location was a bit remote, requiring additional travel to reach nearby restaurants and attractions.

Overall, it was a great experience with a few minor issues like some musty smells in one of the rooms and limited breakfast options.
