The staff and owner were very friendly and responsive. The room was comfortable. There was a bit of noise from the kitchen and food aromas at times. The only downside to the property was the road leading from Puerto Jimenez to Iguana Lodge. The beachfront and pool were wonderful. Very relaxing. Food was great but more options would have been nice a well. Morning breakfasts were great. ##### Cheryl Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hans Henrik Feb 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Lovely retreat Lovely retreat at the coast of the Golfo Dulce in Osa Peninsula me. Very quiet, friendly staff, good food and loads of things to see nearby. Beds could be better though. ##### Hans Henrik Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is full of interesting vegitation in a very natural , lightly groomed setting with endless opportunitied for nature/wildlife photography. The beach is accessible for walks and swimming. The 'lapas' (scarlet Macaws) are numberous and amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Be prepared for extreemly humid conditions outside and early mornings with lots of critter calls to wake you. The road in is not paved from Puerto Jimenez - which adds to the experience. We made the 7hr scenic drive from San Jose - but a 40 min flight into Pto Jimenez is a more doable for most. We highly recommend Iguana Lodge for the adventursome eco-traveler, ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra May 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hope to return I can’t say enough.

La ubicación es excelente, sientes que estás en el paraíso. La piscina es soñada y es como estar dentro de una montaña pero al frente del hotel. Solo una observación que en el restaurante tendría más variedad y precios un poco accesibles, dado que prácticamente comes ahí 3 veces. Me encantó que dieran la posibilidad de llevar las botellas del licor favorito de uno. Para estadías de 8 días ayudaría poder usar al menos al almuerzo la cocina compartida, así uno baja costos en comida y se puede quedar más días. ##### Tatiana Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 8, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely property with friendly owners and staff.

Breakfast was a little basic. ##### Henrik Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret Aug 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Iguana Love What an amazing hotel in an amazing location. It's a great way to experience the area without leaving the resort. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely spectacular property with the most friendly staff and great food. Everything is done right. There are at least two gorgeous spaces where you can do yoga and Lauren (the owner) teaches complementary classes. But more importantly, the grounds are absolutely spectacular and we saw many monkeys and macaws and parrots and tucans right on the property. The restaurant at the lodge is by far the best in town. Truly fantastic experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Niamh Nov 29, 2018 Pleasant stay just for one night. Rooms small but clean. Food good. Very quiet. ##### Niamh Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Oct 28, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Essayez de trouver mieux... 15 minutes de route cabossée pour atteindre l’hôtel. Piscine à l’abandon et sale, hôtel peu entretenu, personnel qui fait ce qu’il peut. Photos non contractuelles (améliorées qui doivent dater...). Cuisine très chère à base de surgelés (22$ pour une pizza sans les taxes et service). Plage non nettoyée (même si essentiellement du bois)... « pura vida » ne rime pas avec pigeon, eco loge ne rime pas avec établissement à l’abandon. C’est dommage car le cadre pourrait être bien, la verdure autour est belle et agréable. Nous avons eu le sentiment de nous être faits avoir en croyant réserver quelque chose de luxueux. NB: si vous voulez joindre Corcovado, sachez qu’il y a 4 ou 5 rivières à traverser et que la dernière se fait à pied au bout de 2 h de route et que vous pouvez avoir de l’eau jusqu’au bassin ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very disappointing stay After a fantastic week in remote ecolodges on the Osa, we stayed here one night before traveling out of Costa Rica. The room itself was very clean and nice, but the grounds and facilities were underwhelming. Our room was situated directly above he restaurant and doesn’t have windows that closed (just screens and fans bc no A/C). We learned that it was “pasta night” that night, so we politely declined to attend the dinner and turn in early for an early flight the next morning. Before 7pm, an unbelievably obnoxious level of sound was unavoidable in our room. It was truly a nightmare. A few minutes after 8pm, we left our room to ask if there was any other place we could get some sleep. The front desk woman had one other room available and that is where we moved to. The obnoxious party now use stopped around 9, we started to drift off to sleep, but then we hear another family enter our casita on the floor above us. We woke up in a panic because the doors don’t lock and we thought we we placed in someone else’s casita without them knowing. After 30 minutes of debate, while listening to the new orchestra of family/babies crying, we decided to move back to our room. I’ve never had a bad experience like this before, and our standards are very reasonable. If you’re paying close to 200/night for accommodation, you should be able to find a bit of rest. Best of luck. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn Mar 31, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My husband and I stayed at Hotel Iguana as we headed into and out of Corcovado. The rooms and the setting are incredibly beautiful. The birds, plants and waterfront were great. The food was delicious and the hard working and friendly staff went out of the way to make sure that we had a comfortable experience. Very nice!! ##### Carolyn ### 10/10 Excellent #### YVES Feb 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un rêve hors du temps. Séjourner à Iguana Lodge est un enchantement. Celui d'un accueil chaleureux et le fait de se sentir en symbiose avec l'océan et la jungle. Le choix doit se faire entre de merveilleuses promenades sur une plage immense et déserte ou nager dans la superbe piscine sous les arbres en compagnie des oiseaux et des singes toujours à deux pas. Qui observe qui ? Quant aux repas préparés avec des produits sains, José le cuisinier, fait des merveilles. Hors du temps, on souhaiterait que le temps s'arrête et l'on se prête à rêver sous la douce lumière des bougies et le regard perdu dans une nature somptueuse. ##### YVES Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### jody a Feb 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Yoga retreat! The food and drinks were delicious. The view of the water was beautiful. The pool was heated. The wildlife was cool ( a monkey, iguanas, toucans, macaws, etc). Chairs spaced around the property for relaxation. The service staff very helpful and friendly. The room was full of ants that came out at night. They sprayed the room during our stay but we still had ants at night. They offered to change our room, but we were only there two nights so we did not bother. Resort is very geared towards yoga. ##### jody a Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christel, London Nov 28, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nothing like the pictures overpriced and run down - not like their pictures. considering what we had paid I was expecting a lot more than what we got. There was rat poo on the verandah where you access the rooms (this was there during our entire stay), lights weren’t working (one broken in the bathroom, one broken in the room, one broken outside the room), one of the glasses in the room was chipped, the hand soap was a watered down runny version (I guess to save money) and there was no shower gel/shampoo or anything like that provided. There was no air circulation in the bathroom at all making it unbearably hot and no warm water at all on the last day. The jacuzzi did not work and there were no yoga classes on even though the website boasts of both these things. This place seriously overcommits and underdelivers. What a disappointment. ##### Christel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 20, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness The rooms are very small and there was sand all over our floor. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Giuseppe, Manhattan, NY Jul 16, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Sleep with the Ocean, Wake with the Macaws We came in July (middle of the low season) and were upgraded to a Casita, which we were beyond thankful for! The best part of our stay was that the Lodge is right on the water and is super close to do tours of national forests and kayaking the mangroves. We really enjoyed speaking and getting to know Toby and Lauren, the owners, who live right on the premises so they are around to ensure all aspects of your stay are up to your liking. Lauren even gave us a private yoga class free of charge. Breakfast is included with your stay and there is fresh coffee all throughout the day. If your are into meditation and relaxing in a very natural setting, this is your place. ##### Giuseppe Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alan, Vancouver May 25, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Should be removed from Expedia listing Blocked lavatory, poor facilities. Should be charging about USD20 per night - not USD150. Suitable for back-packers.
