Delicious Dining Experience

Iguana Lodge offers some of the best food I've had in Costa Rica. From the vibrant flavors of freshly prepared meals to the communal dining experience where we truly connected with fellow guests, every meal felt special. I especially loved the fresh fish dishes and the creative take on classic recipes. Each meal was a feast that left us eager for the next!

Tranquil Pool and Hot Tub

The pool and hot tub at Iguana Lodge are simply stunning. I spent hours relaxing by the pool surrounded by lush vegetation, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Watching colorful birds, including macaws, fly overhead while I soaked in the warm water was a highlight of my stay.

Unique Accommodations

Our Beach House accommodation was incredibly spacious and beautifully designed. The semi-open layout let in refreshing breezes and the sounds of the ocean, creating a serene atmosphere. Comfortable beds and privacy screens made it a wonderful retreat where my family could relax and enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.

Adventurous Activities Abound

Iguana Lodge offers an array of exciting excursions that were perfectly arranged for us. We had a thrilling time kayaking through the mangroves and exploring the local wildlife. Our guide, Sidnar, was friendly and knowledgeable, which enhanced our experience significantly. It was a great way to stay active while surrounded by stunning scenery.
