Agoutis and turquoise dart frogs in the garden. A very clean and nice pool. Lovely staff. Shared bathroom are worth the value. Also a bit calmer than staying in town but just a 15 min walk in to the restaurants. A great place to stay while in cauhita!

Very nice and clean cabinas surrounded by palmtrees. The pool is great. We saw there a lot of animals, monkeys crossing the garden, really great. It is just a few minutes from the nice beach. Restaurants and Bars are nearby. The owner is very helpful and friendly. We surly will come back.

We really enjoyed our one night at Cabinas Iguana. Most of the budget guest houses we stay at have concrete walls, so it was a real pleasure staying somewhere with fragrant dark wood paneling, built in shelves, and a mosquito net. Our shared bathroom was reasonably clean, as was the shower. There is a BEAUTIFUL clean pool and an extensive... More

We did our yearly family trip and enjoyed this place. It was hard to find from the bus station since we did not know where we were going, lol. The owner was informed and came to our rescue! I went with my wife, 4 kids ages 15, 10, 9, 1 and my mom. We loved the cabina that we stayed... More

A quiet retreat for independent travelors, but only 3 blocks from the beach and a half a mile from the center of Cahuita. The owners were generous, friendly and excellent managers for this lovely group of cabins in a tropical garden.

Nice, clean family-friendly place. Seems a lot of costa ricans stay there. We, however, were told by everyone after we arrived that it wasn't safe to walk to and from town (it was a 20 minute walk) in the dark and it was not easy to get a cab since cahuita is a pretty quiet place. (we are two women).... More

We stayed 3 nights in a bungalow at Cabinas Iguana, and it was excelent. We stayed in the main bungalow there and we liked having our own facilities to use in the bungalows. The situation is perfect; right by the Carribean and only a 5 minute bike ride away from the town centre and the national park. They don't provide... More

We were referred here by another place that had failed to honor our reservationsand were very pleasantly surprised. Nice cabins with fans & netting. Nice pool. Short nature trail out back. 150 yards or so from the beach, which I did not find to be dirty at all. It was uncrowded at the beach and quite beautiful. This place is... More

Just returned from another holiday in Cahuita. We have been travelling here for the last 6 years for a month each time and love it. Yes it can rain a lot, yes the beach (black) can be covered in debris but the mix of people, the surfing, the food and the unique experience more than make up for it. This... More
