The property is in a great location, very close to the beach ( a short walk down a pathway), excellent staff, and fabulous breakfast that was included in the price for our room. We had a two queen bed room on the second floor with high vaulted ceilings and a beautiful balcony looking out into the forest. The staff was absolutely fabulous. we definitely would love to return for another stay.

Centrally located and could walk the Main Street and to the beach. Hotel was very clean and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and had all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay. Breakfast was nice and had enough variety! We would stay there again!

The room was wonderful and bright. The staff did an amazing job at cleaning it and keeping it fresh. the entirety of the gilded iguana staff was kind and helpful. the breakfast was delicious and there was a variety of good eat options. the whole resort was well air conditioned and we never felt hot for a second while in our room. The kids club is amazing and the pool is pristine and the perfect temperature. and it is only a five minute walk away from a stunning beach. i definitely recommend the gilded iguana.

Incredible property and location. The staff at the surf Club were incredible. The staff at the hotel weren't as friendly. I'd go back for the location and beauty.

The room was nice but dark. I suppose the rooms on the second floor are nicer. The staff didn’t seems to like their job. Or tired of girats maybe. Nice pool area. Note that this is a family hotel. It is not a calm romantic place. Breakfast was poor. I think that americans are the target for this hotel.

The room was so comfortable. Just what you want for a beach stay. An incredible shower and big spa like bathroom. A private poolside patio area for reading,eating and gear drying. The common areas are stunning and immaculately kept. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and fantastic! My favorite part was the 3 minute walk to the breathtaking beach! The hotel was also only a 15 minute walk to downtown Guiones. I looked at hotels that were more expensive and higher rated and I would stay here again for sure!
