My husband and I stayed in the Monkey Cabin for 2 nights and wished we had a few more! It was towards the end of our 2 week stay (first time) in Costa Rica, and we decided we should have allotted more time for this area. I really don't know what we can add to previous reviews, we agree with... more

My husband and I stayed at Leaves and Lizards for 2 nights. We had a great stay but what made our visit the best was our day out with the guide Giovanni. Giovanni works for Steve and Debbie and is truly a fascinating and kind individual. He took us out for an entire day of animal watching, With his high... more

This is rural tourism at its best. If you want to see the real Costa Rica, interact with local people, and have nature right outside your door, then Leaves and Lizards is for you. The accommodations were clean, spacious and the beds very comfortable. Steve and Debbie are great hosts and are very accommodating in helping customize your vacation. Nothing... more

If you want to feel like the only visitor in Costa Rica, go to Leaves & Lizards. Far from the touristy string of hotels around the Arenal Volcano, but close enough to enjoy the area's activities, Steve & Debbie's three beautiful cabins are a piece of heaven. The views are stunning, and going to sleep and waking up to the... more

This is a great getaway from the tourist areas, with all the views and more wildlife. Waking up in the morning to parrots in the trees and hummingbirds in the beautiful flowers. Make the most of the area by booking day trips to Arenal Volcano, white water rafting or just have Debbie and Steve organize any number of horse back... more

Leaves and Lizards was wonderful and the highlight of our trip! Deb and Steve are great hosts and the meals were the best of our 10 days in Costa Rica. The cabins were clean, well furnished, and included spectacular views of Arenal. We were able to spot many native birds just from the porch. Deb and Steve were very knowledgable... more

It was my second time visiting Costa Rica and it happened to be unexpectedly AMAZING! Debbie and Steve: took care of us and the dog we took, they were waiting for us with dinner ready:) Oh, and by the way, don't forget to ask Steve for homemade pancakes:) Activities: experienced great adventure horseback riding and hiking to waterfall, guides were... more

Leaves and Lizards exceeded my expectations. During the ride from La Fortuna I was wondering if I had made the right decsion staying in Monterrey. I was really glad that I did. The pictures on the website are good but they really can't do it justice. When I arrived both Debbie and Steve gave me a warm welcome and showed... more

Our group had such a wonderful time at Leaves and Lizards (Dec. 27, 2007-Jan 3, 2008) that we're going back March 24-30! Everything was great - our hosts (Steve & Debbie Legg), the birds, our cabin, our guide, the flowers, the view, the people we encountered, the food, the whole experience. We also loved the evening observations of lava and... more
