Arenal Hotel Suggestions?
 

I'm looking for a place with spa, pools, etc. I have two kids - age 11 and 17. I'm willing to spend the money for a really great place. Any suggestions? Thanks!

We're headed to Lost Iguana Resort in few weeks and will report back. I believe they recently opened a spa.

We really enjoyed the Lost Iguana with our two kids 7 and 9 years old. It is a bit further out of town. We liked the secluded feeling. The room was great with a beautiful view. We could walk to the Hanging Bridges and we also enjoyed hanging out by the pool. The pool is not huge.. it has 2 "levels." The upper pool has a swim up bar and is warmer. The lower pool is bigger and deeper (but not a large pool by any means) and is cooler. Very nice landscaping and lounge chairs. We didn't visit the spa so I can't tell you about that!

We really enjoyed Los Lagos - different pools, hike up to the volcano - large property, spa, etc.

We looked at a few properties in the area recently, and Lost Iguana did seem to be quite nice, albeit quite a bit more expensive than most.
We stayed at Silencio del Campo, which is very pleasant. Not a lot to do except the fabulous hot springs at the back of the property.

Los Lagos is one of the most popular places to stay with kids; if you're looking for something a little posher, we stayed at the Lost Iguana and loved it. They were building a spa when we were there.
