Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent
"My family and I had a wonderful time here! The breakfast included was a delicious perk, from pancakes, to egg omelettes, and traditional Costa Rican rice and cheese and natural juices. There are options for everyone to enjoy. After a day of adventures, it was nice to be able to come back and go in the thermal pools and then go in the regular pools as well. The bar offers some great drinks and quick food like pizza, nachos, salchipapa, burgers, etc. the room was always cleaned as well by the time we came back. The staff were overall super friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time staying here, the only thing I would suggest since we arrived towards the night driving, is maybe to add some lights so that drivers are able to see a bit more clearly. We got a little lost finding our room since it was farther than the rest. Overall we all enjoyed our stay and the views from our room of the volcano were amazing! Will definitely be returning!"
