Top Cerro Chato Lake Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 4 night stay in Los Lagos, but I would particularly like to highlight the zip line experience. Antonio and his team were very professional and made the experience fun and safe. We got lucky as our family of 4 including two kids ages 10 and 12 were the only ones signed up for our time slot and the team took extra effort to ensure we enjoyed the experience and went out of their way to photograph and video us. Because we were a small group, we also had the chance to try the Tarzan Swing. What fun! Would highly recommend this resort and the zip line activity! Also recommend renting a car for easy access to La Fortuna"

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The Royal Corin is a beautifully maintained property staffed by professional, attentive and friendly staff. The thermal pools were tranquil and relaxing after a hike around the volcano on one of the hotel sponsored tours. We dined at all of the restaurants on property and appreciated the convenience when we did not want to go out. La Fortuna is a 45 minute walk on uneven terrain, but Ubering was easy and only about $5 each way. We enjoyed several local restaurants and souvenir shops there, and found many English speakers and friendly conversation with the locals there. Our time at The Royal Corin was enjoyable and memorable, definitely worthy of a return visit!"
