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.

Great location

Room is very dark, could improve the lightening

Awesome place!! It has been nicely updated and is close to everything.

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.

Great location, accessible to beach and center of town with in a stone throw. Staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. The hotel in general very clean.

Just one complaint and has nothing do with the establishment; is the incentive guest who have no regards to others during the late hours of the night.

Good price, very good customer service and the fact that breakfast is included is great…

Staff was exceptional in every way, breakfast was delicious, and room was super clean (so was the property and pool) and left nothing to be desired. I now know why it was recommended by friends for our stay. Loved it!

Its not a luxury hotel, but it was perfectly Caribbean. Comfortable, clean, and conveniently located.

the stay was nice, little plumbing incident, but not bad

I stayed in Lizard King Resort two times and the personal was very helpfull at both stays. They even let me park my car at their parking lot after my stay. The hotel is charming an the atmosphere is good It's close to Puerto Viejo and close to the nearby beach. The hotel is made of wood which makes a lot of sounds, so you can hear if people are walking around with big shoes on. You get use to it quickly

We stayed there 3 nights, really nice hotel, very friendly staff, nice rooms, great breakfast, perfect location ( restaurants&bars 2-5 min walking distance) also a small gym is 2 min away, parking was also perfect and free. Room had an fridge. I would book it anytime again

Pretty great place. Convenient to everything.

En general la experiencia no estuvo mal, sin embargo, desde un inicio nos sentimos decepcionados, pues al reservar la habitación en Expedia muestran solamente las fotos de las habitaciones renovadas y al llegar al lugar resultó que nos asignaron una de las viejas. Evidentemente, si se reserva una habitación con cocina, se espera un espacio equipado para cocinar y comer, y esta habitación tenía pocos utensilios, una refrigeradora pequeña y ningún comedor, a diferencia de las renovadas. Cabe resaltar la buena disposición del staff para ponernos una mesita de la terraza en la habitación, pero deberían diferenciar las habitaciones pues son completamente otra cosa. La piscina se ve vieja y descuidada; el desayuno fue a la carta con las mismas tres opciones los tres días de estadía, y sin posibilidad de hacer cambios simples como cambiar huevos por queso (en mi caso, que no como huevo). En lo positivo se puede notar que el hotel está muy bien ubicado y tiene un buen parqueo, staff muy atento, además nos pareció un lugar seguro.

Los individuales de las mesas no estaban muy limpios y la ropa de una las personas que servían el desayuno tampoco.

Older building, but clean and well managed. Fantastic breakfast.

Friendly accommodating staff Very good location choice of breakfast easy park transportation food and beach steps away Would stay again

Great central location. Wonderful welcoming staff. Josway was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable with local attractions and recommendations for lunch and dinner. Complimentary breakfast was good. First morning was a buffet style. 2nd morning we could choose from 3 full breakfast choices. It was served hot, and fresh and very delicious. 2 for 1 happy hour in the evening. Pablo was again super friendly and very helpful. Bicycle rentals available. Pool was clean and refreshing. They have secure gated parking in the back. I would highly recommend. Great choice for the price.

Customer Service and satisfaction is upmost for the staff of this beautiful, spacious studio like rooms with fully stuffed kitchenette, A/C, large TV and bed, nestled in a tropical forest like environment, and a minute walk to restaurants, supermarket and the bus stop to Manuel Antonio NP.

This hotel has a good location near of the Puerto Viejo center and there are a lot of restaurants very close. My room was near of the pool and it is very noisy. The breakfast is included but it would increase more options. I think that if you do not need a quiet night then this option fits very well for you.

Hotel was nice, clean and employees are very respectful and sociable.Has a great location.I was disagree about checking with inventory also the receptionist follow me to the bedroom, that’s was not trusted to check all things that it’s in the refrigerator before my stay. Inventory should process before guess check in .

The best was its location since you can walk to the main strip in Puerto Viejo. The pool was not clean but other than that is a OK hotel.

The Lizard King has the potential to be a great place. It has a good location being central to most goings-on and the beach, but requires significant upgrading. Unfortunately, our room was not as advertised. We arrived to find that we had been placed next to a construction zone that was no less than the entire back end of the resort, which including loud banging and the use of loud power tools. This was not mentioned on Expedias's advertisement! In our opinion, we feel that we should, at the very least, have been upgraded without additional charge. We did ask for a different room that included AC and was at the front of the facility to which an added cost was attached. Though the noise was less from the construction, you are subjected to loud traffic and music throughout both the night & day. We found that the hustle & bustle of town tolerable, but if you are a light sleeper or are looking for a quiet venue, this is NOT it. The staff are the saving grace to this place. They are friendly and do their best to keep the place clean. The pool was a disappointment. It smelled of body odour and fish and there was a noticeable oil-slick on the surface. Additionally, there was a significant amount of debris and what appeared to be algae growth. If you plan on going to the beach make sure you bring your own towels as the hotel does not provide any.

Perfect locación. Staff very nice and friendly Walking distance to the beach

Great little motel. Great staff. Excellent location to walk downtown

The Lizard King is located close to numerous restaurants, shops, and the beach. On the other hand it is on a busy street with noise from passing cars and groups out walking. Other guests coming in late at night can be noisy too. If you are with a group looking for a bit of a party, this may be the place for you. If you prefer more quiet I suggest you look elsewhere. We choose the Lizard King because it had air conditioning and a pool. Both were welcome after staying at another area hotel without. However, the beds and linens were not as comfortable as expected. No closets. The bathroom was a little dirty and had a foul odor. Breakfast was pretty basic. Overall ok but not quite worth the price.

Convenient to downtown and the beach walk. pool, breakfast and staff just ok.

Very convenient location. Nice and relaxing Close to restaurants and night life Few steps to the beach

There are many places in Puerto Viejo and all the way to Manzanillo where you'll find places to stay but only a few with a pool. We actually choose this hotel because of it and it was worth it. We spent most of the time at the beaches nearby but its always great to end your day not covered in sand. This hotel provides everything you will need which is a good bed, private bathroom, hot shower, TV and pool which is actually one of the biggest pools I saw in Puerto Viejo / Cocles / Manzanillo. Inside, you'll also find a coffee maker and a mini fridge, as well as comfy couch. It provides a breakfast as well (coffee, toast, jam, cereal) which was a nice surprise. The location is very good! Its actually about 3 minutes away from bars and restaurants so its very close to everything and you'll still be able to sleep in case you go down early. There is a nice bakery right next to the hotel which was very good and right in front there is a bicycle rental which I recommend to ride all the way to Manzanillo (about 12km each way). Now, to its major flaw... the sound within the hotel! I would say this hotel is made up of wood in its entirety therefore, you'll be able to hear people walking and speaking, etc. We stayed here 4 nights and the last 2 nights were a disaster! We stayed in a 1st floor room and our neighbors in the room above ours were simply too damn noisy! They didn't stop moving until about midnight so I had a hard time sleeping. HOW CAN YOU AVOID THIS? Rent rent rent rent rent a 2nd floor room and bring ear plugs just in case. Finally, there are rooms that use ceiling fans and others that use A/C. I stayed in a room with the ceiling fan (I thought I had rented one with A/C but I was wrong after checking my booking) but I have to say, the ceiling fan was more than enough for us. Of course, its always nice to be in a room with A/C after a long day under the sun but it was not necessary. We actually had to sleep with blankets, really! Hotel staff is nice, they speak english and will be able to assist in anything you'll need. One recommendation I would give out to them is to put drawers inside the rooms. There is no place were you can keep your clothes. To sum up... give this hotel a chance. I'm sure it will not disappoint but again, MAKE SURE you rent a room in the 2nd floor!

Clean room but staff did not know restaurants in the area and air conditioning was advertised but was not aviable.

I enjoyed my 3-nights stay at King Lizard Hotel. The place has a nice swimming pool and a cozy atmosphere, it might not be for you if your into luxurious hotels but if you looking for a something simple and beautiful this would be the one. The location is perfect, few minutes walk from the beach and many bars and restaurants in Puerto Viejo.
