Blue Iguana offers a breakfast experience that has garnered largely positive remarks from guests. The Breakfast tipico is noted as being particularly enjoyable, contributing to a menu where several guests have praised the quality as quite good, very good, or even excellent. While the breakfast is not included in the room rate and incurs an additional charge, the overall feedback suggests satisfaction with the offerings. Some guests desired more flexibility in the breakfast selection, indicating room for improvement in variety or customization. Breakfast service may sometimes be slow, yet the overall flavor and quality deliver a fulfilling start to the day amid a delightful setting. However, it's worth noting that noise can be an issue due to other guests, so for some seeking tranquility, this might be something to consider.

Guests frequently commend the service provided, with the hotel staff and owner consistently delivering helpful and excellent support. The accommodation’s location is conveniently close to various attractions, making it an ideal base for exploration.

Despite the charm and simplicity of the decor, rooms at Blue Iguana are noted for their compact size and occasionally noisy environment. Some guests experience issues with amenities, including cleanliness and air conditioning. While many rooms are clean, others can present challenges such as mold and ant infestations. Bathrooms often draw attention for their small size and occasional lack of hot water. However, fresh cold water is readily available to refresh and hydrate weary travelers.

Beds often receive praise for their comfort, adding a touch of relief after an adventurous day. Not all rooms are equipped with air conditioning and TVs, but the ones that do offer a reprieve from the heat and enjoyable entertainment. Colorful and unconventional decor livens up the atmosphere, although some rooms could benefit from updates to enhance their appeal.

Guests recommend checking room specifications beforehand to ensure amenities suitable for individual preferences, especially concerning air conditioning and size. Although the rooms may not provide direct beach access, the proximity to attractions and peaceful ambiance sets the stage for a memorable stay.

Beds
Visitors to the Blue Iguana have consistently noted challenges with the accommodations, particularly in regard to the beds. Guests have reported discomfort, citing that the mattresses are not up to standard, with springs being easily felt and contributing to restless nights. Privacy is another concern for those looking to enjoy a peaceful rest. Additionally, the noise levels throughout the night make it difficult to get uninterrupted sleep. The rooms themselves present issues, including limited space for personal belongings and an unpleasant, musty odor impacting the overall experience. These factors collectively highlight a need for improvements in comfort and room quality for future guests at the Blue Iguana.

Guests highlight that certain amenities, such as air conditioning and ample refrigerator space, are absent or insufficient, contributing to discomfort during their stay. The accommodation offers basic facilities with limited water availability in showers, which detracts from the overall experience.
