Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. However, they were ready for me earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very nice, accommodating, and always helpful with any requests. The location was impeccable, with beautiful gardens and inviting spaces to relax. The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives, with good food but missing some key protein options. Overall, a great value for the quality offered.
My stay at the Blue Iguana surpassed my expectations with spacious, well-equipped rooms featuring a kitchen. However, soundproofing could be improved as noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable at night.
Being so close to the highway was quite noisy with constant traffic all day and night. However, the room was spacious and looked even better than expected. The staff went out of their way to address our concerns and were exceptionally friendly. The location, though small inside, was beautiful with well-kept grounds and close to all amenities. The dining experience was good but lacked some protein options. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and beautiful surroundings.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were cute and comfortable, especially the two-bedroom bungalow, and felt very secluded amidst nature. However, being right on the road made the traffic noise noticeable.
