The birding was amazing! It was nice to be able to take the canoes out in the pond whenever we wanted. The porch on the back of the rooms with hammocks was really nice.

Not an enjoyable visit this year
This was my second time staying at Laguna del Lagarto and I'm afraid it wasn't a positive experience this year. My last day of photography was ruined by the apparent immediate need to take down the existing feeder and put up a new one in anticipation of a photography group that was coming and yet no photography group came. This lodge caters to photography groups so if you're on your own then you may be out of luck. The birds stayed away from the area due to all the noise. The fan, toilet and shower were broken/not working properly. The people are very nice which makes writing a bad review difficult but we didn't enjoy our stay.

Costa Rician jungle and wild life.
Laguna de Largato Lodge is not for everyone, but for those who want to see the remote jungles of Costa Rica and exotic birds, this is the place for you. The location is pretty remote, a little over an hour on a dirt road. The rooms are pretty small with little amenities, but the wild life is amazing. They have a pole next to their balcony which they place bananas and it attacks all sorts of exotic birds. You can sit on the balcony in the early morning or late afternoon and see numerous birds including serveral types of toucans. On the jungle hike you can see monkeys, birds, coati, and agouti. They have caiman in the lagoon. The lodge caters to Germans as we were the only couple from the States.

Man kann von der Terrasse perfekt sehr viele verschiedene Vögel fotografieren. ACHTUNG: vor Antritt einer zusätzlich gebuchten Aktivität genau nachfragen, was sie kostet.

Tolle Lofge inmitten vom Regenwald. Super Möglichkeiten um Vögel zu beobachten. Tolle Wander Möglichkeiten und sehr freundliches Personal. Etwas weiter Anreise aber auf jeden Fall die Strapazen wert.

Perfekt für die Vogelbeobachtung
Wir waren nur 2 Nächte in der Lodge, haben den Aufenthalt und die Ruhe aber sehr genossen. Tolle große Veranda mit Hängematten und Schaukelstühlen. Wir haben alle 3 vom Hotel angebotenen Touren mitgemacht und vor allem bei der Kaimantour mit Henry viel Spaß gehabt.

Hotel für Birdwatching
Sehr beschwerliche Anreise- 40 km dauern über 2 Stunden. Zimmer könnten sauberer sein, wir hatten lebende und tote Kakerlaken. Hotelmanager ist sehr nett und freundlich. Die beschwerliche Lage lohn nur insoweit, als dass Tukane, kleine Papageien und viele andere Vögel leicht fotografiert werden können, da sie angefüttert werden. Das Abendessen ist teuer und einfache Küche.

Traumhaft
Super netter Service. Familiäre Atmosphäre. Super tolle Anlage mit viel zu entdecken. Vor der Frühstücksterasse sind Vogelfutterstellen aufgebaut, so dass man dort zahlreiche Vögel beobachten kann. Jede Zimmerterrasse hat eine eigene Hängematte zum relaxen und man kann die Kanus selbst nutzen um auf den See zu fahren.

Lodge mit toller Terrasse mit Blick auf die Lagune
Das Beste an der Lodge ist die gemütliche Terrasse mit Hängematte, Schaukelstühlen und tollem Ausblick. Sie liegt abgelegen mitten im Dschungel, ist aber trotzdem mit dem Mietwagen gut zu erreichen (Schotterpiste ohne großen Schwierigkeiten). Ringsrum schöne Natur und großer Tierreichtum. Sehr empfehlenswert! Lediglich das Essen ist verbesserungswürdig. Es gab beim Abendessen am "Buffet" keine Auswahl und es wurde sogar darauf geachtet, dass man nicht zu viel nimmt.

Fantastisk fugleliv.
Hotellet kan varmt anbefales hvis man er interesseret i fugleliv. Perfekte forhold til fotografering. Kræver en 4WV da vejen er temmelig dårligt med cirka 2 timers kørsel på grusvej med store huller. Personalet er meget hjælpsomt og maden helt ok.
