Iguana hotel is a little off the main road, so is very peaceful and quiet. 5 minutes walk to the beach, longer walk to the main restaurant area, but that was fine with us. Lovely gardens and pool. Good room space, comfortable bed. Plumbing is a little antique. Kitchen facilities including large fridge. Good drinking water supplied. 
We enjoyed the breakfast which was generous and efficiently served. I particularly appreciated having it at 7 a.m. on a morning we wanted to leave early. Annette can speak in English (as well as her native French) and was friendly and helpful.

Peaceful, atmospheric and professional guest house

Excellent place and service. We loved the garden full of the sound of birds and insects. The pool is very nice and well maintained. Very quiet. The hotel price includes an amazing breakfast, great coffee, fruits and avocado, eggs, cake and pancakes. Ham and cheese plus warm bread and a variety of local jams...you will end up skipping lunch! Every need was met, including lending first aid disinfectant, and supplying us with oil for our last night of cooking on our own kitchen. A short walk to an gorgeous beach, and a longer walk by the beach to the center of town. Highly recommended.

Family of four (2 adults and 2 late teen kids) for the holidays

We stayed for a week at Iguana Hotel and it was perfect. The rooms are simple, cool and comfortable with a cute kitchen and porch area. The breakfast is amazing, loads of fresh fruit, homemade jams, local honey and enough bread that we made sandwiches to take to the beach. Your host is Annette, who is so kind, helpful and genuine - she recommended some great locations and organised our transport which was brilliant without being pushy or making any kind of profit for herself. 

The beach at the end of the driveway is really beautiful, if you go left it's always quiet, plus there are a couple of beach bars if you go right. We walked to the town a few times, it's a lovely walk down the beach (15-20 mins). On the way back at night we got motorbike taxis which is always fun and cheap. Las Terrenas is an interesting and vibrant place - lots of restaurants and shops. 

Our tip is Cosson beach - Annette will help you get there. Stunning beach, you can surf there and the local restaurant Loui's is phenomenal.

Perfect hideaway with a wonderful host.

My wife and I just returned from our 2nd visit to Iguana and we can't recommend it enough. Annette is so generous with anything that will help make your stay more comfortable. We bought groceries in town and used Annette's grill to cook our dinner. We had a small kitchen and Annette was happy to help us order food to be delivered one night. 

Our cottage included a queen sized bed, bathroom with separate room for the toilet and a walk-in shower with plenty of hot water. Fresh flowers were in our bathroom most days and the towels were exchanged upon request. Two beach towels were also provided along with bottled water each day. There is additionally a cooler to refill your bottled water throughout your visit. 

Iguana is a short 5-7 minute walk from Playa Las Ballenas. My wife and I visited Coson, Playa Bonita, and Portillo. While all those beaches are spectacular and well worth the visit, the beach right in front of Annette's has the best snorkeling that we encountered. We saw butterfly fish, and multiple blue tangs around the coral reef. Make sure you snorkel on a day where the weather is clear and sunny. We tried one day after it rained, but the waves were choppy and it had stirred up the sand making it difficult to see. 

Annette also helped us when the quad (ATV) we rented wouldn't start. She drove into town so that the outfitter could return us another quad to use. She was quick to recommend a guide—Manzana—to use at Limon to see the waterfalls and helped with directions to Playa Bonita. 

Tips on petting Quiche: Quiche is a super sweet goofball of a dog that likes to play, especially with her mouth. She will roll over and show you her belly. The trick is to not pet her when she's full of energy. Hold your hand in a fist above her head until she calms down, then you can pet her nonstop. She's really fun. 

Iguana is super safe with security on site every night after sundown. We never felt unsafe, even when walking back at night. 

We enjoyed the housekeeping and delicious and HUGE breakfasts provided by Lily and Wendy each morning. We would package the leftover fruit, bread, ham, cheese, and avocado for beach snacks later in the day. Breakfast also included passion fruit—chinola en español. We loved them so much that Annette brought us extra to take with us. 

Iguana is situated on the western end of Las Terrenas which we really appreciated as it's away from the hustle and bustle of the main town. No noise issues from motoconchos. You will need to ride motoconchos to get into town as a walk to Pueblo de los Pescadores is about a 20 min walk. Or do what we did a rent an ATV ($50/day) or scooter ($25/day) for a few days.

Iguana is such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The wifi signal is a bit weak in the cottages, but other than that, it was a perfect respite from NYC life. We can't wait to return a 3rd and 4th time and are already talking about retiring in Las Terrenas. 

Thank you, Annette!

Great location, quaint cottages, perfect service.

Recently stayed at a two bedroom quiant bungalou @ Iguana in Beautiful Las Terrenas. Great for 2 couples and very affordable. Beautiful grounds, small clean pool in middle of grounds which comes handy after a day at the beach. In a quiet section and very close to beach. Dark at night if walking back late. Great breakfast in cluded. Madame Annette is knowledgeable and very helpful. Complete kitchen with top stove. Only little diffivulty was shower wasnt draining properly. Recommended
