Lizard King Hotel & Suites Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in a tranquil environment, Lizard King Hotel & Resort offers a refreshing retreat, ideal for those seeking relaxation amidst the beauty of nature. During my stay, I appreciated the well-maintained outdoor pool, a perfect setting for unwinding with a book or enjoying a quiet moment by the water. The multilingual staff were notably accommodating, ensuring a smooth check-in process, even under last-minute circumstances. Their extensive knowledge of the area proved invaluable, providing insightful recommendations for local exploration. I found the spa services particularly soothing, a welcome treat after a long day. Engaging in yoga classes added to the serene atmosphere, promoting both relaxation and rejuvenation. The lounge area offered a spacious and comfortable space to retreat, although evening relaxation was occasionally disrupted by surrounding road noise. While breakfast was included and offered a good selection, the overall ambiance in the mornings felt subdued, with limited guests present. I looked forward to lingering in the garden area, though the presence of mosquitoes made this less enjoyable after sunset. Lizard King presents a balance of comfort and tranquility for those looking to immerse themselves in a peaceful getaway.
