Iguana Crossing is an incredible destination with a stunning setting right by the beach. The welcoming atmosphere and exceptional staff make the stay even better. The rooms are spacious and offer beautiful views, but a couple of minor inconveniences like the shower mechanism might affect the experience. The dining options are superb, and the pool area provides a perfect spot to unwind. It's a bit pricey, but overall, the value for money is quite good considering the experience.

We had a lovely time at the hotel, especially in our master suite with stunning ocean views. The infinity pool was a treat, and the staff was generally attentive. However, the Wi-Fi was only reliable in the lobby, and the shower system was quite frustrating. All in all, it was a great getaway with some drawbacks that could be improved.

I had an incredible stay at this boutique hotel! The location is simply unbeatable, with a stunning beach right across the street and easy access to wildlife adventures. The rooms were spotless and the views were breathtaking. The only downsides were the shower limitations due to water conservation efforts and the annoying mosquitoes during the evenings. Overall, this hotel is a gem worth visiting!
