10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Los Lagos, but I would particularly like to highlight the zip line experience. Antonio and his team were very professional and made the experience fun and safe. We got lucky as our family of 4 including two kids ages 10 and 12 were the only ones signed up for our time slot and the team took extra effort to ensure we enjoyed the experience and went out of their way to photograph and video us. Because we were a small group, we also had the chance to try the Tarzan Swing. What fun! Would highly recommend this resort and the zip line activity! Also recommend renting a car for easy access to La Fortuna"

Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay here! The hotel was wonderful, with a private little cabin that felt very cozy and peaceful. The air conditioning was strong and worked really well, and the chairs and hot tub outside the room were definitely highlights. One thing to note is that you need to fill the hot tub quite a while in advance before you can use it, so it is better to plan ahead. The hotel is also not far from La Fortuna town, which is very convenient. The water pressure was not particularly strong, but it was still perfectly adequate. Since the cabins are surrounded by nature, you will inevitably see some small bugs around the room and outside. So if you are not comfortable with insects, this may not be the best choice. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend it."
