We stayed in many hotels during our month in Costa Rica and this was definately our favorite one! Our friends recomended us to stay here and we are so happy we did, and of course now we gladly recomend this hotel to everyone! We stayed in an airconditioned room with a fridge and a TV. The rooms are simple, nothing... More

My stay at the Lizard King was very pleasant, The hotel sits across the street from the beach, The pancakes are delicious; Rooms were well kept, clean and cozy; Service was friendly, and last but not least the place has a swimming pool!! I recommend The Lizard King Hotel to all my friends/ family.

Initially we planned on staying only two nights and ended staying a total of four. The hotel is built with precious wood floors and posts. The rooms are comfy and clean. We stayed by the pool which came in handy during the hot sunny days. WiFi worked fine in our room, the bed was of an orthopedic type mattress and... More

We didn't stay here, but saw a sign for banana pancakes. They were indeed fantastic! We went here both mornings to eat them. They also had health nut and tiramisu pancakes. We tried all, but banana won. I'd definitely recommend going here for those pancakes for breakfast! The people working there were very nice, as well.

I'm not sure what's up with some of the negatives reviews but I had a good time here. The owner stated that at times, guest try to get a free night with a threat to place negative reviews. Not cool. In any case, the owners we very nice and knowledgeable about the town and its history. The rooms were clean,... More

In the balcony were people that make noise untill 2am and the wooden walls dont isolate the noise. If u want good value for 60$ this is not... More

I arrived to Puerto Viejo after a long 7 hours by boat and road from Tortuguero, having been up for about 9 hours already. When I arrived on a (Monday afternoon), no-one was at the reception, so I shouted hello a few times. Eventually, a mature lady came down with 2 guests who looked like they were leaving. The lady...

I just spent two weeks at the Lizard King Hotel while visiting Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. It was sad leaving - I really grew to love the place and the nice owners Lillie and Louie - who not only provide the best breakfast in town, but also gave me great advice on eating-out, exploring and other things. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Bradford... More

We were disappointed with our room. It was incredibily small with no storage space or anything else - very very basic. We have stayed in several places in Costa Rica for the same price or less (we paid $55 per night for a basic room with no aircon) and expected slightly more for the price. We were on the ground...
