« Our host Jason went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay at his place. We had support in getting to use a local pool, with groceries and transportation to our next location to mention a few. If you need local insights and super hospitality then go with Jason. The location is in a quiet local neighbourhood and it feels safe to have kids running around outside. Walking to the beach is possible, but can be a bit hard for little ones up to 4 years old (especially considering the heat). Go to...

« Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects.
That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...

« This is a great property for the price. Overall I recommend this rental and would rent again. We were in an upstairs unit of a four Plex (3). No real negatives but a few FYIs. Host was super responsive. Pool is a definite plus. Good-size, super clean, there were lounge chairs but they needed padding, two large tables and chairs for all guests. Overall beautiful pool area. Loved it and used it a lot. And most guests go to the beach so I was often there by myself. Beautiful view from upper and...

« Host was very attentive. The unit was not well appointed with bowls, cups, chairs etc when we arrived. The host rectified the issues in a timely manner. We were 2 couples staying in a 2 bedroom. There are 2 bathrooms with showers but the main bathroom and kitchen sink does not have hot water. Unfortunately there were unseasonally high winds that caused power outages. It was dealt with quickly. Over all a pleasant facilty but in the process of being upgraded and maintained. Cleaning...

« We had an amazing stay! The house is absolutely beautiful as pictured! We loved the indoor/outdoor feel with the large sliders opening up to the outside living area, pool and full views of the Pacific. All bedrooms are air conditioned for comfortable sleep. We had plenty of room for our family of 8 and it was an ideal setup. Each bedroom has its own bathroom attached for privacy. The owner thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. Sonia does her job well and is there to make...

« There were bugs everywhere. We expected some due to being in the mountains, but there was an excessive amount everywhere the entire time it was disgusting. House was nice view was amazing but the pool water was filthy . They just put more chemicals in the next day after I complained and it made it worse then we just have to swim chemicals. The host said they vacuumed it and weâre gonna do it again, but it was never vacuumed. Just use the pool skimmer and threw chemicals in. Description was not...

"This hotel was a perfect 10/10. The service was impeccable, probably the best Iâve had in years, staff is nice and welcoming, always willing to help you with any of your needs or questions. Communication with front desk is ideal, when you arrive, they give you their whatsapp number which allows you to book the restaurant, ask them questions or book your shuttle. Talking about the shuffle, we did not see anything about it when booking, but they have a free shuttle from the hotel to different locations (beach, town, etc.) This is perfect for people like us who donât have cars as it is not the easiest accommodation to access (doable by walk of course, just a little far away from the town.)
Very clean!
Food-wise, it was impeccable ; from breakfast, lunch, snacks to dinner. Everything we ate was delicious, with lots of flavour and freshness and quite good portions. It is not THE cheapest menu but it is worth it considering the quality of the hotel and food.
We felt like in a luxury dream, even though the price per night was a very okay price.
The views are of course breathtaking.
We were two sisters travelling there and everything felt peaceful and safe, even when walking alone in the roads or in the biological reserve. Oh. yes!! There is a free entrance for the biological reserve, a beautiful walk of around 1:30-2hours (beware of bugs, but with bug spray, youâll be good.)
Anyways, thank you so much Lagarta Lodge for making our trip this fabulous. We will back for sure. Pura Vida"
