Our family of 10, ages 11-77, recently spent an unforgettable week at Casa La Iguana. This property is exquisitely appointed from top to bottom and the staff onsite (Byron, Mariana and Esperanza) were incredibly helpful, friendly and talented in the kitchen. Byron discreetly saw to our every need throughout the week and the delightful Mariana and Esperanza made delicious, home-cooked meals for us each day, including a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner, as we happened to be there for the holiday.
Although it does not seem possible - this home is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The attention to detail in the decor and artwork is impressive - we all had fun taking our time observing all there is to see in each room. We utilized Casa La Iguana as a base for many daytime adventures to the surrounding islands, and while exploring Santa Cruz, and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing there in the evenings and the few days that were unscheduled. The outdoor space was perfect - we spent many hours swinging in the hammocks, playing card games, sipping cocktails from the bar cart, reading by the water and watching the incredible wildlife that was perpetually passing by, both by air and by sea. By day we saw countless blue-footed *birds, crabs, frigates, finches, herons, iguanas and more, and by night there was a constant highway of sharks, sting rays, sea lions and turtles floating by. The bedrooms were all spacious, comfortable and kept spotless, each with its own private outdoor space to relax. The homeowner, Juan, was incredibly helpful leading up to the trip, and provided useful guidance and logistical information needed around the island during our stay. You will not regret booking this location - it really made our entire trip to Santa Cruz memorable!
