Top Cantón San Carlos Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Propiedad es hermosa, acogedora y cómoda. Los cuartos son espaciosos y limpios. Todo bien moderno. Hay desayuno buffet riquísimo y el restaurante sirve muy buena comida. El mirador para el volcán arenal es precioso, pero, aunque se puede subir caminando, recomiendo subirlo en auto ya que es un camino extenso. Personal muy amigable y atento. Mi única crítica sería que no está muy bien iluminado en los caminos para las habitaciones. Tuvimos que utilizar el flashlight del teléfono para poder movernos de noche. Espero volver 😍 Nota: foto del cuarto se verá un poco distorsionada ya que la edité para borrar a las personas que se encontraban sentadas ahí."
