Quiz night was fun - we won - shot of tequila! Family style dinner was good, As were the a la carte breakfasts. Directly across from the lancha pier. ##### Myra Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Autumn Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Overall the hotel is nice with beautiful plants and scenery. The beds are not very comfortable and the water is either really hot or cold. But for the price it is a nice place reasonable place to stay. ##### Autumn Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent May 21, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed our stay of 1 night! We signed up for the dinner which was really good and fun. Almost everyone at the hotel attended the group dinner. There were animation, games and a quiz. Would definitely recommend to stay there if you are in Santa Cruz. ##### Vincent Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emilia Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel is located right at the base of Santa Cruz which made it super easy to grab the lanchas. My friend and I stayed in a private suite which was really nice and cozy. The grounds of the hostel itself are stunning and so relaxing! They host family-style dinner's every night which was so wholesome and was a great way to meet new people. The only cons I will say is that there's only wifi in the common spaces, and wifi doesn't reach the rooms. Other than that, I loved my stay! ##### Emilia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Berglind Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved my stay at the La Iguana I had a beautiful stay at the La Iguana. I loved the room and the hammock on my balcony. I really liked the atmosphere there. The yoga classes and the sit down family dinner at seven. Great food and a very nice way to meet fellow traveler’s. The only negative thing I can say about my room is that the walls are paper thin and there were moments I felt that the guest next door very in my room chatting along! ##### Berglind Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandru Nov 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place! ##### Alexandru Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle Oct 18, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities It is a great glamping property that any liberal hippie would love. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antoine Sep 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely cozy place ##### Antoine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joe Han Dec 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Avoid at all costs.

It's right in front of the dock so no rolling your suitcase over rocky paths. It's also a 4 minute walk to the party hostel Free Cerveza if you want to get that energy and use their dock, and a 10 minute walk to nice kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. I stayed in a Private the whole time. The first was Balto and the second was Toliman. Toliman was gorgeous and had a lake view - would be great for a couple. I think I preferred Balto because at night it was cozier and quieter. Family dinner is wonderful at this hostel and such a core part of the experience. I participated every night and loved it. The food was great and the company was amazing. There are also different activities each night and the Open Mic Night is a blast. People from all over the town come for it. The highlight was Sam who was our hiking guide for the sunrise hike. The hike itself was gorgeous; on top of that Sam was really an expert not just with knowledge of the area but also with ensuring our safety and enjoyment. It's technically a short and easyish hike but I have chronic pain and limitations. Sam ensured that I was doing okay, had me hike at the front of the pack to help control the pace, and even gave me cookies because the sugar helps your body. We also learned so many interesting things about the volcanos, the lake and the local Mayan culture. ![View from inside the restaurant/reception/bar.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e140c867-30c1-42ec-a3f7-b956e0f0c50d-1765322491291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Chula!

Dive instructor was awesome and very helpful, making the experience that much better. Everyone was friendly and the food was better than expected, with the communal dinners being quite good. Little noisy into the evening and at night but not bad enough that it's difficult to sleep. ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohan May 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best Hostel This hostel was great! While I don't stay in hostels much, this was the best I've experienced. The staff are great, the family dinners are a great way to meet people and there's always an event in the evening where people get to socialize. I stayed in a private room which was clean and spacious although had to share the bathrooms which was a bit more inconvenient given my room needed a ladder to access it. For me being a bit of an introvert and needing a push to make friends this was the best place for it. The staff and people were the best part of this place. ##### Rohan Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Feb 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Notre chambre était tout simplement magnifique ! Nous n’avons pas l’habitude des hostels, alors nous recherchons plutôt la tranquillité et nous avons pu avoir le meilleur des deux mondes à cet endroit. Les soupers de type familial sont délicieux et permettent de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et d’avoir de belles discussions. Il y a des activités prévus tous les soirs ce qui est super! Possibilité de plusieurs activités dans le jour aussi (plongée, yoga, training, sauna, etc.). C’est donc un endroit super dynamique, mais permettant aussi d’être au calme en observant la vue simplement. Tous les gens étaient super gentils et accueillants. Nous avons bien aimés notre séjour! ##### Catherine ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Dec 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Para ser la primera vez un lugar muy bonito y acogedor , encantados de estar por acá ##### Juan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANDRES Jul 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### EXCELENTE OPCION El Personal del hotel es muy amable, fui en plan familar y la experiencia fue extraordinaria. Las instalaciones de la habitacion seleccionada esta bastante buenas. Escogimos la opcion de CENA que ofrece el Hotel, la comida estuvo muy rica y abundante. Por si se tiene alguna duda el espiritu del hotel es 100% mochilero. De Excelente gusto y vibra. De igual manera el personal que atiende te da todas las indicaciones y recomendaciones posibles de que hacer en los alrededores. Tienes unas excelentes areas comunes, con vista al Lago. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4AA27905CE8EA936DF9F6ED7FF648D13E7B147F51659153432461.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C51FFD8F2C17C4D913A4A376000CF14F065757F61659153522893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ANDRES Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Mercy](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-La-Laguna-Hotels-Hotel-Mercy.h112669142.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhomes King St West at Blue Jays Way East Side Stop](https://www.expedia.ca/King-St-West-At-Blue-Jays-Way-East-Side-Stop-Townhomes.d553248635997354724-aaTownhomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Bambu Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mazatenango-Hotels-Bambu-Resort.h31366262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Southern Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Ontario-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d6210011-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabanas De Tzununa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tzununa-Hotels-Cabanas-De-Tzununa.h28841872.Hotel-Information) > > [El Carmen Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Antigua-Guatemala-Hotels-El-Carmen-Suites.h11980637.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Maya Jade](https://www.expedia.ca/Buena-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Maya-Jade.h33328312.Hotel-Information) > > [Bolontiku Boutique Hotel, Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Flores-Hotels-Bolontiku-Boutique-Hotel.h6882822.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabañas Paraiso Escondido](https://www.expedia.ca/Livingston-Hotels-Cabanas-Paraiso-Escondido.h101763344.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceana Resort & Conventions - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-San-Jose-Hotels-Oceana-Resort-Conventions.h45740165.Hotel-Information) > > [2500 Penn, a Placemakr Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Washington-Hotels-2500-Penn.h74898384.Hotel-Information) > > [Mikaso Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-La-Laguna-Hotels-Mikaso-Hotel.h8094664.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel y Centro de Convenciones Jardines del Lago](https://www.expedia.ca/Panajachel-Hotels-Hotel-Y-Centro-De-Convenciones-Jardines-Del-Lago.h5117755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Clifton Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Clifton-Hill-Hotels.0-l6277548-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [hiltonhotels Hotels in Vaughan](https://www.expedia.ca/Vaughan-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d9616--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Valle Dorado Resort & Parque Acuático](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-Hondo-Hotels-Valle-Dorado-Resort-Parque-Acuatico.h13156905.Hotel-Information) > > [Sababa resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Guatemala-City-Hotels-Sababa-Resort.h45467515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tzam Poc Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Panajachel-Hotels-Tzam-Poc-Resort.h11927414.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreydon House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Simeon-Hotels-Dreydon-House-Bed-And-Breakfast.h2586852.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars > [Car rentals in Indianapolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Indianapolis.d178266.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Alhambra](https://www.expedia.ca/Alhambra-Granada-City-Center.d6067119.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Delacour](https://www.expedia.ca/Delacour.dx56740)
