It was beautiful, the staff was AMAZING, the room and facilities were clean and up to date, and of course the view was spectacular (especially when the clouds lifted). Interaction with the animals was fun, and horse back riding is a must. We saw more birds from our porch and at breakfast than anywhere else on our trip. More

My husband and I spent 6 nights at this incredible place and cannot wait to return. After reading the glowing reviews, expectations were set very high... once we arrived, the reality surpassed all expectations. There is something about this place that cannot really be described in words... it is something that you feel once you are there. You are immersed... More

We just got back and had an incredible experience! Just go here and allow it to happen. This is the kind of place that is so genuine that you just fall in love over a few short days. The owners and staff are all committed to making your experience incredible and it shows. If you are used to phony, patronizing... More

We had a great four days at Leaves and Lizards, like everyone we spoke to there we had found them on here and weren't disappointed. Having received a hand drawn map we were pretty unsure we'd find it but Steve's directions were faultless and although it involves an offroad track wasn't difficult to find at all. The accommodation is stunning,... More

Leaves and Lizards met our expectations on how challenging the road is near the end, but exceeded our expectations for the hospitality, food quality, natural beauty and peacefulness. One tip is to plan a stop in La Fortuna or at a canopy tour on the way to Leaves and Lizards. We left San Jose in the morning and we stopped... More

Debbie, Steve and their staff really know how to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The cabin we had (Mariposa) was very clean, cozy and decorated with Steve's artwork. Breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano from throughout the property. Dining facility with huge open side toward the volcano, and feeders to attract birds. Great food, and nice to eat meals with...

All meals were excellent, with good choices. This is a great place for families. Debbie did a fantastic job arranging airport pickup and transport to our next stop in Monteverde. We... More

Thank you Trip Advisor for leading us to Leaves and Lizards. Almost every family we met found this place on Trip Advisor. We stayed for seven days in March 2012 with our six year old daughter. Nice to have seven days. We were able to do optional excursions in the morning and relax in Monkey cabin in the afternoons. Our... More

Traveled to CR in late March with our two boys 12 and 14. We found Leaves and Lizards on Tripadvisor and very glad we did. After staying in Los Suenos resort the first part of the trip, we thought we were going to be "roughing it" for the last half but found L&L to be almost like a resort but... More
