Blue Iguana in Costa Rica was such a nice surprise. The location’s perfect—close to the action, but still relaxed. Staff were really warm and helpful, always smiling and welcoming. Food was great—fresh and delicious. Everything felt clean and comfortable. Loved the easy, laid-back feel. I’d definitely recommend and I look forward to returning!

We were very disappointed in the hotel. There was no hot water, the sink drains into the shower. The room was dimly lit with one light bulb. The window did not close and there were no screens, just mosquitoes. There was no working restaurant nor bar. Breakfast was yogurt and granola, opening at 8 AM. It is close to the beach. Next time I will pay a few dollars more and stay at a nice hotel.

The property is a real dive bomb! No hot water- unable to really close windows because there are permanant vents so you can hear the neighbors air conditioner and foreigners yammering at all hours in the courtyard. The only redeeming aspect is indeed the staff. Brian at the front desk was amazing

The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was great! It was convenient to get to the beach (1 block away) and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, they were able to book us a shuttle to the Liberia airport, etc. The room itself was small and unpleasant and I was grateful my sister had booked a nearby place that was shady and pleasant for lounging. The bathroom seemed to have a leak and therefore the bathroom floor was sopping wet.

It was good! Basic breakfast was included cofee, yogurt , cereal, there was a small menu you need to pay for! Mr Guillermo was very kind! And cooked some.chilaquiles, tacos, scrmabled eggs for the kids! (From the menu). The rooms were clean, they have a bathroom inside, not hot water and the toilet was very small and not muche toom to sit bc the dood was in front...not convenient! Specially if your sharing the room with some friends :]
