Guest Reviews
- Javier (10/5): - Great breakfast and nice hotel service.
- Gordon (8/5): - Adam could not have been more helpful. This was a quick stopover but the room was super clean and he gave us a great recommendation for a truly unique restaurant.
- gretchen (8/5): - Property manager and other staff were awesome! Breakfast was good, especially the fresh fruit. Rooms are basic but clean, with comfortable beds and pillows. The area around the hotel was not very walkable, so expect to drive or stay on site (they will help you order amazing pizza delivery, so surprisingly good!)
- Barbara (10/5): - Great people friendly recommend
- Melissa (10/5): - .
- Susana (4/5): - Poor service.
- Andrew (10/5): - Nice little hotel in a non-tourist town.
- Pierre (10/5): - Very nice owner and staff. I arrived late because of traffic but they made sure I still got to have dinner with a nice glass of wine. Very quaint.
- Mandy (10/5): - We were only here for 2 nights as we finished our trip, but loved it. The staff was great, the rooms were very clean, and it was a great location for exploring Orotina.
- Paula (10/5): - We loved this hotel!!! Super cute, great grounds and pool. Beyond friendly staff. Dinner was the best food I had during my 2 weeks in CR!!
- Stephen (10/5): - My wife and I stayed at this hotel on our way out of SJO traveling west for 1 night. Important things we were looking for: secure parking, breakfast included, air conditioning, WiFi, easy access from the highway. Senor Herrera was very accommodating and kind. He showed us his available rooms and let us choose between them. The rooms were clean and the hotel grounds was well manicured. There was a pool that was available, which we didn't use but others did--it looked clean and well maintained. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel before continuing on our travels, which was very convenient. There are several grocery stores and a market within walking distance from the hotel. There is a futbol arena next door and a bar across the street, but they quieted down at a decent hour. The hotel is well secured and we felt like our vehicle was safe behind the locked courtyard gate. Overall, would stay here again for sure. It was the perfect place for us, meeting our needs, and well exceeded our expectations for the price.
- Abdul (6/5): - Friendly staff and clean rooms. The hot water situation in our room was not ideal. None in the sink. Finicky in the shower with a little heater attached just before the shower head. The “on site” restaurant is actually a block away and the food arrives not too warm.
- Lesya (10/5): - Lovely place in the center. Nice breakfast included in the stay. Very nice over all, nice pool. Good coffee in the morning.
- William (2/5): - The hotel is a scam, not a single light on when we pulled up. Gate locked. banging, calling did not get any response.
- Lynn (10/5): - We have traveled the world and without a doubt, The boutique iguana verde hotel was the best stay that we have ever experienced. The staff was always bringing us fresh fruits and cold drinks and fresh beach towels. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. It's very cozy and clean- we cannot wait to stay again! And includes a delicious breakfast
- Lynnette (10/5): - The hotel was immaculately clean and the included breakfast was delicious. Our daughter loved the pool - it was just the thing after a long day of travel. Our room had good AC and comfortable beds. The staff were very kind and helpful! Will recommend this hotel to others and stay here again if I’m ever in the area!
- Arnold (8/5): - The owner was very kind and accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only issue was the area around the hotel had very little in the way of dining options or things to do.
- Amber (10/5): Would Recommend! - Very friendly and accommodating staff. Comfortable rooms with AC and hot water. The made to order breakfast is a very nice perk. Conveniently located, walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the Central Park.
- Steve (10/5): - Beautiful property, and the team that worked there / owned it were exceptional. Highly recommend!
- Octavio (8/5): - un lugar tranquilo para un bonito pueblo
- JORGE (8/5): - well located, quick check in, the room needs some minor maintenance
- Jeffrey (8/5): - The owners and staff are great. They really helped us out of a car rental jam
- Noa (8/5): - Andre, The hostess was amazing. All of her recommendations were great.
- Manuel (10/5): - Todo excelente, increíble el servicio al cliente
- Jeffry (10/5): - Muy limpia y tranquila
- Isabelle (8/5): - Very nice hotel. Service was great.
- 'wil (8/5): - Small ,strategic location >
- Franyi (10/5): - This hotel was very convenient. It’s walking distance from such great restaurants and they offer you a ride to the airport, which was awesome!
- Mehdi (10/5): Nice service! - The staff has been fantastic: we arrived very late (almost 2am) and they were waiting to open the parking door and walked us to our room. Then in the morning we were leaving before breakfast time, but they were super nice and cut some fruits for us and put them in a box to take with us: way to go the extra mile!
- M TERESA (10/5): - Very comfortable. Great location
- Robert (8/5): - The property itself is nice, and the staff is great. The property is near an industrial area, so the surrounding area is not attractive. Staying there shortened our drive to Monteverde the next day.
- dale (10/5): - Friendly staff very accommodating. A/C was cool 👍 we would definitely stay here again.
- felipe (6/5): - Very friendly people go out of their way to help you. The only big negative was they have tons of mosquitoes and we got bitten so many times even inside the rooms.Do not order Chinese food from the outside, we got so sick in our stomach and diarrhea, however we did eat pizza which they made in house anyways healthy
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Just a quick one night stop, pool was nice and the beds were comfortable.
- Angela (8/5): - Only stayed on night on our way to Esterillos Oeste for a family event. The staff were all very friendly.
- michelle (10/5): - great breakfast nice pool area
- Renee (10/5): Wonderful staff!! - The staff was incredible! So kind, accommodating and helpful. Atmosphere was beautiful, room beautiful and bed comfy!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good option, great service, nice pool. All very clean
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was like having a nice compound in the town of Orotino. The owners and staff were very accomodating and efficient.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Guadalupe and ALL of her staff were extremely nice and eager to make our stay comfortable. Small place, but very well run family hotel. I highly recommend.
- Rich (10/5): - The owners and staff were very nice and did what they could to help us and make us comfortable.
- Dorian (8/5): - Un hotel pequeño pero muy lindo y limpio. La atención del personal es excepcional. El desayuno muy rico.
- Roland (8/5): - Good service, nice breakfast, friendly and helpful staff - although sometimes they were not completely fluent in English. Main problem is streets are not named and had to ask directions several times to find the hotel. Near the center of town so easy walking about. Has good parking area for your rental car. Pool very nice.
- Alamandas (2/5): - Bad experience, nobody at the reception for half an hour, all doors were closed. No WIFI and cleaning staff was extremely noisy.
- Javier (10/5): Comfortable stay in Orotina - I stayed at this hotel when driving back from Guanacaste to San José and the highway route 27!2-: completely backed up. The hotel owner greeted us at reception. The rooms could use a little renovation,!!$5 overall they’re great for the price. The hotel has a nice Pool that kids and grown ups alike would enjoy. I’d stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I love this hotel !! we enjoyed the pool the room the food. The staff is awesome and super friendly. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends in USA !! They made us feel at home with their smiles and good vibes. They even tend to my husband needs and went out of their way to get wine for a sangria. Super staff. The owners are super professional and friendly as well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was very friendly. The pool was appreciated in such a warm area.
- Eyal (8/5): Nice and clean - A small nice and clean hotel with very helpful staff.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Property was quiet for the most part. We were the only room booked i believe. Food was really bad, no English, no phone in room, bed really hard, pictures deceiving on Expedia vs. What we saw and experienced.
- Brooke (8/5): Nice pool and wonderful free breakfast - Nice comfortable safe stay. Pool was great
- Suitcaseman (2/5): - With thousands of night of travel for both business and pleasure this is the lowest rating every given to a hotel in any continent. The location worked for us although lots of street noise (traffic) all night, friendly staff, the beds were good and the breakfast and pool facilities were great. The reason for the poor rating was the bathroom. What we call in engineering a “Suicide Shower” or “Widow Maker” that is a shower head that has direct current for heating the water. Please Google these terms for additional safety information. In addition, I will attempt to attach a photo showing that the wiring was not in a utility box but through the use of exposed electrical tape.. Bugs, mice, cold water, outside showers all have been experienced without a safety issue. Maybe I am crazy…..but I would rather be dirty than the potential death from this type of plumbing. In over 3 weeks in Costa Rica, from the very South to the very North, this type of shower was not experienced outside this single property. As they say “ A little dirt never killed anyone”.
- Sebastien (2/5): Horrible - Needed to stop in Orotina for the night. Despite a prepaid booking the hotel was full and no effort was made to address the issue. Shockingly no refund has been received from the hotel or hotels.com. In addition the hotel is in a horrible area, so stay well away.
- Chanté (10/5): Service is everything - We were involve in a small fender bender on our trip to Costa Rica, which put us behind and we needed a place to stay. Iguana Verde was located along the way so we did a last minute booking. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful faces. Then served drinks in the swim up bar and our bartender ordered us food from a local restaurant when we said we were hungry. Great end to a rough day!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Cute hotel in center of town. - This was a very clean and quaint hotel with a guy running the hotel that was superb. That said, the location was noisy including the music played until late at the pool area, street noise, and loud neighbors. The bed was thinly padded and there was very limited space to put your personal hygeine items in the bathroom. The interior pool and bar area were beautifully done and relaxing. The room itself and noise level were not good. Breakfast was good.
- jojo (4/5): - People friendly. Lack of communication regarding our arrival so we were unable to get into the hotel for an hour. Place was small and old but very well maintained and clean.
- Fernanda (10/5): Nice hotel for kids and family - The Hotel is beautifull, there is really not to much to do. But it has a nice pool and bar area. Also there are a lot of restaurants near by. We loved it for the kids and had a family relaxing time. Also we appreciate how nice is all the staff.
