Beautiful nature, delicious food, amazing hosts.
Pros:

This is an incredible location surrounded by nature, where you can find local flora and fauna just outside your door. The facilities are stunning, the breakfast was excellent, and it is conveniently located near the beach and waterfalls. Above all, I truly appreciated the attention given to us by Bettina and her husband—they are remarkably kind, vibrant, and welcoming hosts. I recommend this stay to anyone visiting Dominical / Dominicalito, Costa Rica.

El mejor hospedaje en Dominical
Pros:

La amabilidad de Betina es increíble, visitamos a Iguana Libre por segunda vez porque realmente el lugar es precioso, la habitación tiene lo que se necesita para estar, el desayuno simplemente espectacular y super casero. El lugar está cerca de Playa Linda que vale la pena ir y está como a 10 minutos. Super recomendado el hospedaje.

Cons:

Nada todo es excelente.

Pros:

L'environnement ! petits lodges simples et très propres en pleine nature. Bien sûr c'est humide et verdâtre à l extérieur, bien sûr on entend un peu la route, mais les chants des coqs, oiseaux et autres grenouilles l'emporte ! Situation ideale entre le parc des baleines à 20mn et 45mn pour le parc Manuel Antonio. Super petit déjeuner servi en terrasse au milieu de la végétation luxuriante. Très complet et servi avec attention par Bettina. A ceux qui aiment la nature vous y êtes !

Una experiencia acogedora y llena de naturaleza, con excelente hospitalidad y un entorno relajante
Pros:

El desayuno fue abundante y delicioso, ideal para comenzar el día con energía. La hospitalidad de la señora Betina hizo que la estadía se sintiera como en casa. La ubicación del hotel es excelente: está cerca de la costanera, pero al ingresar se siente como si uno estuviera en medio del bosque. El entorno natural es impresionante; durante nuestra visita vimos monos, aves, reptiles, mariposas y muchas otras especies. Además, el artesano don Aaron Araya nos ayudó a observar e identificar la flora y fauna del lugar, lo que enriqueció aún más la experiencia.
Las habitaciones son rústicas pero bonitas y confortables, con detalles que armonizan con el entorno. Por la noche, la quietud de la montaña a veces se ve interrumpida por el lejano ruido de vehículos en la costanera, pero el sonido de insectos y ranas nos ayudó a relajarnos y dormir plácidamente.

Cons:

La falta de aire acondicionado, que afectó un poco el confort durante la noche.

Pros:

Great place! Roman and his wife could not have been nicer! The breakfast they provided was amazing! I would stay here again in a hearbeat!

Cons:

I liked everything! My comment for others is they are located in the jungle. Which is a huge plus for seeing animals. The rooms are simple and can get warm. Roman provided an additional fan when asked. So accomodating!!
My only suggestion is a rubber mat in the shower might be a good idea. The floors a lovely but can be slippery.
