The female manager was not nice or helpful but the male receptionist was really nice and even went out of his way late at night to let us know our car lights were still on. It would have been awful to wake up to a dead car battery. The hotel itself was quieter than I expected being right on the main street of Puerto Viejo but we had a room in the back area. They do not provide breakfast. It's in a good location.

"I had reserved two rooms, but unfortunately, both of them had a bad smell. Although the staff tried to address the issue with freshener, it only worked temporarily and the smell returned in the evening, making it difficult to sleep. In addition, there was loud music coming from neighboring properties, which added to the unpleasant experience. As a result, I would not recommend this place and would not consider returning.

We were at Lizard King during some rainy days and loved the balcony/2nd floor lounge areas. My husband was able to open his laptop - and work in a very comfortable area.

Nice location just on the edge of the village, totally walkable to the center of town in 5-10 minutes. Lovely pool and wonderful upstairs open air lounge to hang out in. Only downfall was street noise that affected sitting pool side.

Siento que el precio es elevado para lo que ofrecen. No hay tranquilidad. Para poder dormir y descansar había que pedir a los de recepción que callaran a los huéspedes cerca de nosotros, el piso del segundo piso es de madera y toda la bulla y cada paso de los huéspedes de arriba se escucha abajo y toda la noche. Solicité almohadas extras y nunca me las llevaron. El área de lavado no tenía luz, por lo que asearse y maquillarse era casi imposible. Las sillas de la cafetería muy duras y altas. La calidad de un desayuno típico, demasiada baja. Parecía más comida nicaragüense que tica.

Staff were very nice but hotel was noisy both from the road and other guests. Only a cold water tap in the hand basin in the bathroom and the shower was very poor - cold/Luke warm water and very poor water pressure.

Nice place to stay.
Missed our shuttle connection from the airport so had to delay arrival by one day. Was able to email the Lizardking and they were ready for us when we arrived. Pool was nice, breakfast was good. All of the staff were pleasant and helpful. Close to plenty of places to eat, had fridge in room with a grocery store within walking distance. The beach was across the street. Very narrow beachfront but very busy on weekend. Any questions or issues we had were readily taken care of. They made it easy to arrange tours to see things in the area. They rented bikes, if you are interested. A very nice, rustic room with good water pressure in the shower. We were very happy with our stay.
