Highly recommend Los Lagos

Los Lagos Hotel is beautiful, clean, and perfect for our family. They have pools everywhere, and we mostly hung out in the large hot spring pool with a swim-up bar and drank the virgin pina coladas that they serve in real pineapples! The staff is very friendly and helpful, including the restaurant staff, the cleaning crew, and the front desk. The breakfast is a buffet full of healthy, delicious variety. The gift shop is great. We were in downpour for 2 days, and ended up just hanging out in the warm pools. One night when my daughter and husband decided to stay in the room for the evening, I spent an hour in the original hot spring on a built-in lounge chair with jets.

Affordable luxury. The hot springs were well-maintained and uncrowded—there were plenty of empty pools to choose from. The food was authentically Costa Rican, farm fresh, and inexpensive. We felt safe allowing teenage daughters to roam unsupervised. Rooms were clean and spacious.

From the time we checked in until we checked out, A1 service. All staff were pleasant and attentive. We received great service and great drinks at the bar. The amenities are amazing! This is the Disney of La Fortuna. A family of 4 with kids ages 9 and 13, everyone was able to find something to do. The kids couldn’t stay off the slides and the adults couldn’t stay out of the hot springs! The breakfast was great each day. The food at the wet bar was just as good. You can get a little Costa Rican flare or you can have simple foods for the picky eaters. All around amazing and wasn’t ready to leave!

We have stayed at Los Lagos before and the property and customer service has taken a drastic turn for the worse. On the plus side, the pool facilities are nice but try to enjoy them before the $18 day trippers arrive and overcrowd the facilities. We paid for an upgraded room but did not receive one. In fact, it was a new room that was still not quite ready. No room safe, sliding door not secure and most importantly an AC unit that was faulty and required us to wait for upwards of 3 hours for maint many times. They eventually allowed us to have the room we paid for our final night but we had to move all of our stuff in the pouring rain. They were rude and unapologetic like it was our fault. Additionally, there was construction right next door. It seems that we were punished and treated poorly because we booked through Expedia as opposed directly with the hotel. On several instances when we asked for the room we paid for, the desk staff commented on how we booked through Expedia. I would recommend staying somewhere else as there are lots of other options in the area.

Beautiful resort with fantastic pools and hot springs. The grounds were kept immaculate and the front desk was always very helpful. We found food and drink pricing reasonable, however we found food at the main restaurant not great (aside from the breakfast buffet which was good). We enjoyed the food at the pool bar much better. Rooms were very spacious and clean. We did find that the walls were very thin and we could hear our neighbors quite a bit ( as small of a sound as a sneeze or conversation could all be heard). This made it challenging to sleep on some days depending on how active our neighbours were. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the springs.

Good not great. Could use a facelift.

Nice grounds and pools. Large rooms but somewhat stark. All tile floors. Smelled like cleaning products. Cabinets were rickety. Seems like built in the 70s and never upgraded. Could hear people easily in adjacent rooms and our neighbors below complained to us that we sounded like construction workers through their ceiling. Restaurant was reasonable with good food.
