Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay at Iguana Lodge, I was thrilled by the food quality. With dinner served buffet style one night by Chef Jose, I enjoyed delicious meals while mingling with fellow guests. Trust me, the quality of the food surpassed what I typically find in restaurants back home in NYC. Explore the menu without stress—it’s all great!

Relaxing Jungle Retreat

I adored the spa facilities at Iguana Lodge. After a day of hiking, the jacuzzi was such a treat! Plus, the pool area is simply beautiful. There were also opportunities for yoga in the open-air studio, allowing me to connect with nature while unwinding. The overall tranquil environment made my experience absolutely refreshing.

Casita Upgrades Worth Every Penny

I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to a Casita upon arrival at Iguana Lodge, and it made all the difference. The unique design allowed for a closer connection to nature, and waking up to the jungle sounds and sunrise was lovely. The ambiance in the Casita enveloped me in comfort and luxury.

My stay at the resort was enjoyable, with great amenities and a serene atmosphere. The eco-friendly design blended beautifully with the surroundings, making it a perfect escape into nature. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly at breakfast, which felt a bit limited. The pool was an excellent spot to unwind after a day of activities, but the attentiveness of the staff could improve to enhance the overall experience.

I had an amazing time at this resort! The casita felt like a cozy treehouse, and we enjoyed the beautiful beach that felt like our own private paradise. The variety of daily excursions was a highlight, although I did find some minor issues with the coffee selection. Overall, the experience was incredibly authentic and relaxing, making it a memorable stay. Just a heads up, it's not the luxury resort vibe, but if you're looking for charm and nature, you can't go wrong here.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful resort and I can confidently say it was a slice of paradise. The unique casitas offer an incredible connection to nature, and the dining experiences were simply outstanding. While the occasional noise from the surrounding wildlife added a charming touch, the squeaky bed could be a minor distraction for some. Overall, it's a perfect getaway for adults looking for tranquility and excellent food. I can't recommend it enough!

Our stay was an incredible escape, surrounded by the beauty of the rainforest. The rustic casita felt enchanting, and we truly enjoyed the exclusive beach experience. While the service was warm, we found the dining to be hit or miss. It's worth considering if you're looking for an authentic adventure rather than standardized luxury.
