Situated 23 km from Poas National Park, Pura Vida Hotel offers 4-star accommodation in Alajuela City and has a garden. Boasting free shuttle service, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. It's a perfect stay after a long flight! It is very closed to the airport located in a beautiful garden. so you can perfectly start your Costa Rica trip there. The breakfast was delicious and the stuff very friendly and helpful. We booked our car through the hotel. Bernie, the hotel owner, managed this for us in advance and the car was delivered in the morning directly to the hotel. This was great. We definitely recommend that hotel!

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa offers an outdoor pool, a gym and lush gardens with a maze. Each room has views of the Arenal Volcano, located just a 25-minute drive away.

Rooms at the Lost Iguana feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a furnished balcony. All rooms offer a safe, a coffee machine and an en suite bathroom with free toiletries. Absolutely beautiful spot in the rainforest close enough to the tourist activities, but distant enough for a complete disconnect. The view of the Arenal Volcano from our room was stunning. Facilities made of exquisite woodwork. Lots to see. Great pool area. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
