Guest reviews for Iguana Libre
"Very friendly owners and animals & nature all around! We saw iguana, frog,birds"
"Aucun."
"Great place! Roman and his wife could not have been nicer! The breakfast they provided was amazing! I would stay here again in a hearbeat!"
"I liked everything! My comment for others is they are located in the jungle. Which is a huge plus for seeing animals. The rooms are simple and can get warm. Roman provided an additional fan when asked. So accomodating!! My only suggestion is a rubber mat in the shower might be a good idea. The floors a lovely but can be slippery."
"The pool was a nice respite from the heat. The canopy of trees surrounding the dining area provided beauty and great sightings of birds, monkeys, agouti, butterflies and morr. The breakfast was the best of anywhere I've traveled. But the very best thing was how lovely Roman and Bettina were as people and hosts. They really care about the comfort of their guests. It will be one of our best memories of this trip."
"It was all fine. They are hard at work on renovations to an old property and I think it will just get better and better"
"The nature around the place, very nice to enjoy the rainforest. We could see animals like cappuccino monkeys near the restaurant. Very good breakfast."
"No air condition at the room but it has a fan that works fine."
"This place is paradise. We saw more animals here than anywhere else so far in Costa Rica. Even though it is just off the main highway, it is the jungle. The property is large, and full of trees. A troupe of monkeys comes to visit almost everyday. There are agouti, coati, iguana, toucans, hummingbirds, and at night, not far away, coyotes. There is an absolute symphony of nature sounds. The owner, Bettina, and her daughters, are lovely. The breakfast is great - fresh fruit, fresh buns, eggs, cereal, coffee. It kept us going all day. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Nauyaca Waterfalls, Marino Ballena National Park and the Uvita beach, Hacienda Baru nature trails, the Alturas Wildlife Sancturary, and more. There is a lovely swimming pool. We would do an excursion in the morning, and hang out by the pool in the afternoon. We were here for six nights, and had a fantastic time. Would definitely visit again."

"The hosts are warm and friendly. This was our second stay and we brought our family this time. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. The breakfast with homemade bread! was delicious and very generous. This charming, rustic hotel nestled against a forested hill is delightful. Did l mention the very reasonable prices for a place so close to several nearby beaches. And for someone who enjoys reading at bedtime the bedside lamps were most appreciated."
"We liked everything."
"We loved the owners, Bettina & Roman. We loved the forest surrounding their property, a welcome cjange from the beaches we had stayed at before. The breakfast was fantastic with homemade rolls, butter and jam. We'll be back!"
"Aucun."
"This is an incredible location surrounded by nature, where you can find local flora and fauna just outside your door. The facilities are stunning, the breakfast was excellent, and it is conveniently located near the beach and waterfalls. Above all, I truly appreciated the attention given to us by Bettina and her husband—they are remarkably kind, vibrant, and welcoming hosts. I recommend this stay to anyone visiting Dominical / Dominicalito, Costa Rica."

"I like the location, clean rooms, host cortesy, perfect breakfast."
"All OK..."
"The breakfast was great- very plentiful, fresh, and delicious. The natural setting of the lodge allowed for viewing wildlife and birds which was a big bonus for me. The owners were very nice and always willing to meet my needs."
"The sign at the road could be brighter and more visible."

"Lovely views, nice kitchen and modern furnishings."
"Modern, clean room with a comfortable bed and large bathroom with jacuzzi tub for two! Table for eating inside with a balcony outside to enjoy the views. Refrigerator and coffee in room. We stayed here to experience Volcan Turrialba. Our host Nathalie was very lovely and very informative. She was so helpful she even ordered food in for us after our hike."
"I stayed only one day, but everything was great. Cabana was in the middle of garden with a lot of birds in the morning. It was clean, spacious, nice, with air-con for good price. And Jorge was very friendly and helpful with everything. 100%!"
"It was perfect and had everything you need. Maybe a closer would be useful but apart from that, all great"
"The house was great - it was very clean, had good AC and hot water and a lovely back garden. It was situated on a quiet and peaceful street an easy walk to both the national park, supermarkets and the bus station. It was the best place we stayed at in CR. Also the host was super kind and generous. We arrived several hours before check in and he met us at the bus station, let us store our bags while house was being cleaned and drove us to the national park. We had a fantastic time."
"Very nice place. Hummingbirds everywhere. We spent our Christmas here and the stay was very nice. Would definitely recommend."

"New building. The rooms are clean and look fresh. The staff is very polite and takes good care of the guests. The pool is small but nice. Breakfast is standard but good quality. (The bus stop is 100 m from the hotel)."
