The staff was friendly and cute throughout our stay.
Unfortunately, our experience was marred by issues at the restaurant. The food lacked proper execution, leaving us disappointed during meals. Service was not attentive. I was left waiting too long without even getting a dessert menu offered. This inconsistency in quality affected our overall enjoyment of the dining experience.

A Hidden Gem with Excellent Amenities
Our stay exceeded expectations! The healthy breakfast options, especially the iguana eggs with fresh corn tortillas, were delightful. The attentive staff, particularly at the beach club, made every moment enjoyable. Don't miss out on the delicious smoothie bowls at the juice bar. Perfect for relaxation after a surf lesson!

Had a fantastic time at The Gilded Iguana. The surf club made renting boards a breeze, just a block from the beach. Spacious Premium Queen room allowed my family to relax comfortably. The pool area isn't huge, but it’s refreshing and perfectly placed. Although the front desk staff greeted us with smiles and were super helpful, we faced challenges with the restaurant. Food left much to be desired. some meals were poorly executed. Service was friendly yet lacked attentiveness—waited too long for the dessert menu. Location felt central, close to restaurants and shops. We had a bit of a struggle finding the hotel when we first arrived since it was dark. Overall, the hotel had a great vibe with the right amenities, but improvements in dining would be appreciated.

The atmosphere was incredibly chill, making it a perfect spot for our family getaway. We truly enjoyed our spacious Premium Plus Queen room, complete with a large balcony providing privacy. The daily WhatsApp updates on tide times were a thoughtful touch, enabling us to plan our beach activities better. Breakfast was fulfilling, and the restaurant exceeded our expectations with great meals. One notable downside was that some sunbathing chairs went unused for long periods while reserved with personal items, which created minor inconvenience.
