Everything about this stay was perfect! The grounds are perfect. Scenic and well kept. The chirping of the birds in the morning…the tinkling of the water from the stream.

A Must Stay!

This is an amazing place to stay, from the very start you are greeted and shown around the property. The rooms are beautiful and the nature surrounding them can’t be beat. The owners are so great and breakfast was amazing every day. They gave us recommendations to awesome spots, going as far as setting up last minute tours for us. I would highly recommend Las Iguanas to anyone!

100% recommend this place. We had the bottom bungalow and were perfect for two of us. The hot tub is awesome with the view. The family that owns this is very nice and accommodating. If I am ever back in the area I would stay again.

Good Stay

The scenery was wonderful in the area and their hospitality was inviting / welcoming and exceptional. It was good but for the price and considering the other reviews I expected a little more. It was a little further from area attractions in La Fortuna than expected.

Arrived very late, after midnight, and the staff were there and ready for us. Offered options for tours, breakfast was great, incredibly friendly throughout, and just a nice property overall.

Beautiful and tranquil

Our visit was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility of the jungle. The service was impeccable and the iguanas did not disappoint. Jose is very attentive and his madre will fix you and impeccable breakfast while teaching you new words in Español too.

Piece of paradise

I had the pleasure of staying in this enchanting bungalow in Costa Rica, and it was truly a slice of paradise. The rooms were beautifully designed, clean, and very comfortable, with a luxurious jacuzzi that became my go-to spot for unwinding under the stars. The hospitality was second to none—everyone on staff made me feel incredibly welcomed and cared for. Waking up to the lush natural surroundings and peaceful ambiance each morning was nothing short of magical. This was a perfect, relaxing getaway, and I can’t wait to return for another visit.

Very enjoyable stay

Very nice, quiet accommodation only 20mins away from La Fortuna. Kids really enjoyed the spa on balcony. Kind staff and decent breakfast. Will rebook whenever we are back in that area without a doubt. One of the highlights of the trip.
View from one of the bedrooms. Seen a lot of nice birds and could hear holler monkeys.

Comfortable cabina

Jose was extremely helpful and even pointed out some Toucans in the trees near the cabina. It was very clean. Had a nice small kitchette that we used to make some meals and of course the jacuzzi was a great way to end the day.

The location was perfect for visiting Monteverde and the cloud forest. Our mountainview apartment was spacious and very private with everything we might need. The balcony provided an opportunity for bird watching and included a visit from a couple of cappucin monkeys! Highly recommend La Guayaba for couples.

Bungalow was clean and perfectly sized for our family of 5. The host family was amazing. The location was remote but we enjoyed it. Our Bungalow faced the street so it got loud at times with the motorcycles passing. Only warm water in shower with little pressure (had higher pressure but was cold). It was definitely worth the money and experience and i would stay there again. Breakfast was amazing and made to order so always hot and fresh.

In the heart of the jungle, this property is super chill & picturesque as well as 20 min from La Fortuna downtown and has parking on site. Ypull absolutly get to hear some animals safely around. We used our pool and hottub every single day and were stunned by how clean the bungalow was. This is a family owned business so you'll feel totally safe and taken care of.

This is a wonderful property, with the private pool being the star. We loved that this is a family owned property, and the owners are very friendly. They are also flexible with the time for breakfast and they cooked home-made traditional breakfast but also when asked for something different they were able to accommodate. The private pool in our villa was amazing, so was the jacuzzi tub. The property is located in a rural area, 20 minutes from the town of La Fortuna, but there are several grocery stores and even traditional eateries (called Sodas) around. It was also very spacious for our family of four. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

I know it’s not the properties fault but the motorcycles going by on the street really rev it up when they go by. Very LOUD! All times day and night! We also had a rough time with the tv. As we were not used to what they had to get English channels. But the owner was very nice and helpful. No hot water only Luke warm. So showers were very fast.
