Hotel Iguana Verde

Our family of 7 stayed at this beautiful hotel for one night on our journey from San Jose Airport to Manuel Antonio. The bedrooms were very comfortable, all overlooking the amazing gardens and lovely pool with a swim up bar..The staff were very friendly and looked after us well. They ordered pizzas for us from a local restaurant, which we ate at the bar, and provided a delicious Costa Rican breakfast the next morning. We will definitely stay here again.

If you need to stay in the area of Orotina, the Hotel Iguana Verde is truly the oasis in the urban desert surrounding it. Its small number of inward-facing rooms all overlook a compact, enclosed terrace with mature, verdant plants around a very attractive pool with a swim-up bar, a feature-waterfall and half-a-dozen sun-loungers. Breakfast by this pool is an omelette and beans (no choice!). Lunch and dinner were once available too, but not at present (Feb 23). However, pizza and seafood deliveries (and probably burgers and chicken too, but we didn't ask) can be ordered easily from the front desk for consumption 20-30 minutes later in the air-conditioned dining room or by the pool using FOC the hotel's cutlery, crockery and glasses. Our room had a double and a single bed - but maybe not all the rooms have this. The hotel has a high-fenced and fully-gated parking compound immediately alongside, which is reassuring even (and I have no idea at all) if the security is unnecessary. Hose owns the hotel and is a hands-on Manager. He is very ably assisted by the outstandingly excellent, thoughtful and considerate Andreina. We would happily return to the Hotel Iguana Verde if we had a reason to want to stay once again in the area.
