Iguana Lodge Beach Resort

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

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.

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.

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,

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!

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.

Lovely property with friendly owners and staff. Room was clean and basic. Bathroom and shower was really nice.

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!

Lovely accommodations, beautiful grounds. On-site naturalist. Excellent and friendly staff.

Beautiful view and quiet beach. Restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the scarlet macaws that frequent the area.

Amazing place with the best hospitality. Highly recommend! The food is out of this world fresh and delicious!

A beautiful, well designed place that has everything you need for a break

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.

What an amazing hotel in an amazing location. It's a great way to experience the area without leaving the resort.

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.

Pleasant stay just for one night. Rooms small but clean. Food good. Very quiet.

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

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.

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!!

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.
