    Everything was simply perfect. Came here for trip, had very nice 3 days overall. The location was great and unbeatable: a bakery and a mini market were within walking distance. It was located in a nice enough area.

    The hosts were fantastic, providing great hospitality. The room had a comfortable bed and a good functioning fan and A/C. WiFi was excellent in this remote location. The food, especially the breakfast, was delicious and cooked with passion. The common space was a pleasant meeting spot. The atmosphere and vibe created by the hosts was amazing.

    I recently stayed at Hotel Iguanito for a few days on a leisure trip. The location is fantastic, right in the center of town. My private room was comfortable and had great amenities like AC and hot water. The real highlight of my stay was the restaurant, which offers first-class food and is a must-try. The owners, Juan and Chris, go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and are incredibly friendly. They also provide excellent recommendations for excursions and organized a fantastic snorkeling trip for me. The hotel is perfect for couples and older travelers, and the price point is just right. Don't miss out on this gem!

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    The food at the hotel was absolutely amazing! the dinner prepared by the owner was a delightful surprise and truly exceeded my expectations. the staff was also incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure that I had a comfortable stay. the location of the hotel was perfect for scuba diving and it was conveniently located in the center of town.

    At times, it could be a bit disrupive to have people hanging out in front of the room. this was a minor inconvenience and did not significantly impact my overall experience at the hotel.

    The room was suitable for our needs and we were able to park our car right on the premises, making it convenient for us during our stay. it was easy for us to access Scuba Coiba, which made our experience even more enjoyable. we had a great time and highly recommend this place.

    We felt like it was our own home. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were friendly and helpful, storing our luggage and accommodating our early breakfast times. The rooms were fantastic with high ceilings, air conditioning, and comfortable beds. The spacious bathroom had beautiful tiles. The hotel had a lovely outdoor sitting area just for guests, and the restaurant served delicious breakfasts. The owner, Juan, was very nice and gave us great advice. We booked a tour through the hotel, which was highly recommended and led by experienced guides. the atmosphere of the hotel and the cute town made for a perfect place to relax near the beach in Panama.

    The access to the hotel was very poor. The steps from the street were steep, uneven, and had no handrails.
