Guest Reviews

• Marianne (10/5): - Its own little oasis by the beach. Quiet, lovely setting with wooded paths between buildings. Food was great and staff was fabulous. Highly recommend staying here form more than just a night or two
• Cheryl (10/5): - We had a great 5 days at Iguana Lodge. 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.
• Hans Henrik (8/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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,
• Alexandra (10/5): Hope to return - I can’t say enough. What a gem! Beautiful grounds, huge beach, lovely pool area and great food. The Iguana Lodge was lovingly constructed and designed for a most excellent stay. Pura Vida!
• Tatiana (10/5): El paraíso en Puerto Jímenez - Resumidamente, volvería mil veces más. 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.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely property with friendly owners and staff. Room was clean and basic. Bathroom and shower was really nice.
• Brad (2/5): - We had to leave the country early due to the pandemic. We tried to cancel reservation a week prior to our scheduled arrival, they charged us full price anyway!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely accommodations, beautiful grounds. On-site naturalist. Excellent and friendly staff.
• V (10/5): - Beautiful view and quiet beach. Restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the scarlet macaws that frequent the area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing place with the best hospitality. Highly recommend! The food is out of this world fresh and delicious!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Iguana lodge - A beautiful, well designed place that has everything you need for a break
• Henrik (10/5): Fantastic place in great surroundings! - We stayed 2 nights in Iguana Lodge, one before and one after our 3 day jungle trek through Corcovado NP. Perfect place to prepare and recover for a tough hike. Splendid contemporary rooms with ocean views, friendly staff and great food in the restaurant. Breakfast was a little basic.
• Margaret (10/5): Iguana Love - What an amazing hotel in an amazing location. It's a great way to experience the area without leaving the resort.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
• Niamh (8/5): - Pleasant stay just for one night. Rooms small but clean. Food good. Very quiet.
• Verified traveler (4/5): 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 traveler (4/5): 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.
• Carolyn (10/5): - 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!!
• YVES (10/5): 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.
• jody a (8/5): 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.
• Christel (2/5): 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.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The rooms are very small and there was sand all over our floor.
• Giuseppe (6/5): 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.
• Alan (4/5): Should be removed from Expedia listing - Blocked lavatory, poor facilities. Should be charging about USD20 per night - not USD150. Suitable for back-packers. THE worst Expedia hotel I have ever stayed in.
• Debbie (6/5): Was on the beach very rustic - Was a fun time went with friends just know there is no A/C But they do allow pets Beautiful grounds
• Deidre (10/5): Beautiful respite in Osa - The casitas are simply amazing with kind owners that make you feel welcome with special touches. It is a jungle lodge so expect noise from the creatures that live within and heat during the day. If you want air conditioning and extreme quiet this is not for you.
• Sophie (4/5): Ne pas se fier aux informations données... - Hotel très difficile à trouver quand vous vous y rendez en voiture de location (piste très mal indiquée, panneaux de l'hôtel décolorés illisibles). Réservation en mars pour 2 nuits à 175 euros la nuit : chambre minuscule, sans rangement, pas de climatisation mais un ventilateur de chantier qui fait un bruit infernal, ventilateur au plafond dont on ne peut pas régler la vitesse, pas d'eau chaude, le coffre rouillé, store en bois en guise de rideaux mais comme il fait chaud si vous les fermer vous ne respirez plus mais s'ils sont ouverts tous les clients de l'hôtel vous voient... Le restaurant (nous n'y avons jamais mangé) est ouvert de 17h30 à 20h00 (à 20h00 vous devez avoir fini...) est situé sous les chambres : une odeur de bouffe imprègne bien tous vos vêtements. Attention les photos sont retouchées, ça ne correspond pas à la réalité. Le choix de cet hôtel a été fait pour aller au Corcovado donc réveil très tôt puis que les rendez-vous avec les guides sont à 5h30 : zéro collation à votre disposition. Le personnel : la manager sympa mais sans plus : pas là à notre arrivée nous avons été accueilli par le propriétaire sans doute : très mal poli et très rustre, la manager nous a vite expédié et n'a pas voulu nous faire une réservation pour une visite avec guide au Corcovado parce que le délai était trop court, nous l'avons fait tout seul par nos propres moyens et ça a très bien fonctionné mais il a fallu repartir au village. Trop cher pour les prestations annoncées et fausses.
• Jill (10/5): Jungle Fun! - Proprietors Lauren and Toby are totally amazing hosts at Iguana lodge. They host each amazing, delicious dinner like it is a dinner party for friends. It is a great time to share about the days adventures - which are varied and many - ranging from jungle hikes to tree climbing, birding expeditions to scuba diving, kayaking to surfing. As a yoga lover I had their gorgeous yoga pavilion to myself for practicing. The staff is amazing and is detailed and caring in their arrangements for all the area has to offer for experiences.
• Deidre (10/5): A great getaway that is easy to get to - The staff and owners make this experience top notch. From the Friday night salsa party to the Tuesday BBQ on the beach, there are special touches that make one feel at home. Excellent food throughout our stay. You are in a jungle so be prepared for no A/C, and loud critters. The world is very alive around you.
• Niklas (10/5): Unikt hotell! - Fantastiskt hotell! Vackert beläget på stranden i fantastisk natur med papegojor överallt. Fantastisk yogaplattform i djungeln. Trevlig personal och fantastisk mat!
• Hidden Oasis (10/5): Great jungle place on the beach - Well I have to say that after initial surprise of being in a jungle beach hotel, this place could not have been more terrific! The staff is great, you really feel like you are hanging with friends. Amazing location where you can hear and see different birds and monkeys. (Even a sloth). The pool is perfect with a nice hot tub attached. There is a yoga studio, risen in the air with a spa attached. Traci is the massage therapist who is extremely talented and her style is not to be missed. Make appt asap since she books quickly. Also dinner is 5 star quality and hosted by Toby who is the owner. The guys at the bar are really cool and treat you like friends not guests. 🍹Drinks are good as well 😎👍🏻 Just note: there is no AC and you are in a jungle so bring bug spray. The roads are gravel and not in great shape, other than that, Toby; I thank you and staff for letting us be part of this experience. 😀👍🏻 Also: you MUST take the Chocalate tour. It's not what you think and a 100 times better.
• Lo (10/5): Petit bijou hôtelier dans son écrin de verdure - tres bel hôtel, entouré d'un jardin luxuriant, au bord de la plage de platanares. Le personnel est attentionné, les chambres propres. Nous avons séjourné au second étage de la beach house, c'était parfait.
• Verified traveler (10/5): The heart of nature - Very special experience made unique by attentive staff. Wonderful to interact and share this beautiful stay with the lodges owners and guests. Clean facilities and good wholesome food. Staff were very helpful in arranging tours.
• Martin (10/5): Iguanas and sloths for company at breakfast ! - We had two nights relaxing at the Iguana lodge to recover from our spell in the jungle. The place was beautifully relaxed. the gardens spacious and there was never a sense of being crowded. The food was wonderful and the staff very attentive. Kayaks, body boards, surfboards available for a go. wear factor 50 and a top if you are going out for a while though.
• John (10/5): Comfort in the Osa Peninsula - This is a delightful lodge-type hotel in a remote location, that offers high standards of comfort, food and recreational activities, largely focused on the natural environment. The nature watching trips run by Sidnar are excellent and can be highly recommended. It is a tropical location and the lack of air conditioning only adds to the pleasure of a stay there.
• Lora (10/5): Best hotel in the area! - Great hotel, awesome grounds. Beach was just beautiful, with covered hammocks, and lounge chairs on the sand. Great pool. Great food, loved the beach-facing bar. Free kayaks, paddle/body/surfboards. Awesome hiking and beaches nearby. Close to Matapalo and Carate. Must stop at bar just before you get to Matapalo! Monkeys, birds, critters everywhere. Owners were super nice and staff was super gracious. Thank you Ana, Stephania, Denise, and everyone there!! Highly recommend. Also, shout out to our sweet and knowledgeable horseback guide, Adonis. Loved it all!
• Timothy (10/5): If you love the beach, this is the place - Incredible location and atmosphere ..... right on a sandy beach on the Osa Peninsula gulf side... calm, warm water, exotic landscape not to mention a serene pool setting out of architectural digest. Lots of activities available in area like kayaking, waterfall repelling, horseback riding, surfing (lessons), boat excursions or just walking miles on beautiful sandy beach. Combine that with really comfortable rooms, excellent staff and superb cuisine and you have the ultimate summer (beach) camp experience for adults.
• Natalie (10/5): Wonderful and very unique experience - We had and amazing stay @ Iguana Lodge. Excellent and very well maintained facilities, delicious food, wonderful location for those who are looking for a tranquil and serene holiday. We have also received an upgrade from Club Room to Casita which was a very pleasant surprise. Thank you Lauren and all your wonderful staff!
• Verified traveler (4/5): Far away - It was nice place and beautiful beach but very far from the city, at night it was a lot of noise and a lot of bugs. The rooms are small.
• English Teacher (8/5): Iguanas all over the place - Wonderful location. Great food. Excellent staff. Lots of genuine hospitality.
• sherry (10/5): We had a fabulous time - I would highly recommend this hotel.It is very beautifulwith lush tropical gardens.. It is on a beautiful beach with a gorgeous pool and hot tub and fantastic food. The staff was Amazing. We hated to leave and would love to return. An amazing experience
• Benjamin (10/5): Iguana Lodge is Paradise - My girlfriend and I have travelled the world and had the pleasure of staying at this paradise last weekend and had possibly one of the best trips of our lives. The lodge was beautiful, the staff were more than amazing and the activities were so much fun. We went ziplining, salsa dancing, surfing, horseback riding, did yoga and ate some incredible food. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Highly recommended for couples or families that want a relaxing, isolated getaway <3
• Liz (10/5): Peaceful and Serene - You can just shed all your worries and concerns when you arrive at Iguana Lodge. You are greeted by the warm, friendly staff who become like family members by the time you leave. If yoga is your penchant - this is an ideal spot with two lovely yoga platforms situated amongst tropical plants all while listening to the surf crashing on the almost empty beach. Take a swim in the pool, boogie board on the beach, sit at the Pearl restaurant in one of the cushioned adirondack chairs sipping on the cocktail of the day and just enjoy. There are two different options for dinner - more casual at the Pearl and a little more formal at Rancho. Either location will offer you some of the best organic food you have probably experienced. Coming back to reality after a stay at Iguana is the only negative thing I can say in this review.
• Chris Thomas (8/5): Pleasant Surprise - My wife and I stayed at iguana Lodge for two nights. This was a last minute trip as our original plans had fallen through. We were pleasantly surprised by the lodge. In order to get to it, you drive on a rough, unpaved road but once you get to the Lodge, it is well worth it! The grounds are well kept and you are right on the beach. You go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of waves breaking on the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. Upon our arrival, we were greeted and given a tour of the facilities. The room was simple but clean. The staff assisted us with information on tours and helped set them up. The hotel also has some nice amenities on site. We took advantage of the water activity items (boogie boards, paddle board, kayaks, etc.) which were no additional cost to use. There is also a yoga/spa area which we did not have time to utilize but looks very peaceful and a good way to spend an hour getting a massage. We would have loved to stay in the area for a few additional days to explore Corcovado National Park and enjoy the Lodge more. I recommend renting a 4x4 if you plan to get a rental car. It will help!
• Carolyn (10/5): Wonderful experience by the ocean - Owners and staff are wonderful, very attentive. The grounds and ocean site are great. We had a blast hiking, painting, boating, and walking on the beach.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Stayed for one night - Room was OK, breakfast was excellent. I wish they did not burn gasoline smelling anti bug torches during dinner. All in all is a good place for short stay.
• Martina (10/5): Jungle getaway - Everything was excellent, so we will just point out the highlights: super helpful and friendly staff (special thanks to Jean Pierre), loads of info (about tour possibilities and the resort itself) given to us before arriving, gourmet breakfasts, lounging facilities (we loved the open-air spa/yoga studio). Iguana offers affordable luxury and their wonderful staff makes you feel special at all times.
• Bill (8/5): Relaxing beach resort - Beautiful setting on a glorious beach. Very attentive staff. Food pretty good.
• Franco (6/5): No AC - The room on the Hotels.com website was a casita- not a club room.The club rooms can have one window which does not allow any real ventilation. They are located on the second floor are small and HOT! Fans not adequate.Casita had a great bathroom but no fans - screens kept room cool but not until late night at night.Casita furnishings very sparse.Luggage rack? What's that?Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts and dinners very good.
