La Iguana de Oro Studios & Apartments

I was very pleased with my 10 day stay at La Iguana de Oro. The property is more apartment style with fully equipped kitchen and lock box in the room. There is key access to the building and the front desk is a small office with separate entrance immediately adjacent - its services seem limited. Morning coffee and water is provided at a station on each of the 2 floors. The housekeeping service is daily and is excellent. The units are older and the appliances show age but in working order. The AC works very well and there is no must or mildew which I have found in some older properties in Central and South America. There are probably fewer than 12 apartments - the building is on a busy street and also close a number of clubs. Units at the front of the building could be effected by louder street and club noise. I booked a bit ahead and the management were able to provide me with a unit at rear which was quiet as I had requested. The unit though had limited natural light. This property I found to be ideal for me. Good value for money - perhaps not everyone’s taste with somewhat limited front desk services and the rooms/apartment non standard.

So much extra noise. Housekeeping and grounds man were constantly talking in the areas outside my door and bedroom window. Housekeeper knocking on each door several times a day to ask if you need housekeeping. Just get signs already!

Location is great. Room is clean and friendly staff. Front desk was there “at times”, except when I needed to check out. I wish the appliances were updated. A/C worked great. Shower head could be better. This all said, price is great. I would stay again, but I do not understand the deposit which was not refunded. The pool area was very clean. No frills, yet practical. 3.5 stars is probably more accurate, 3.9 due to price and great location. Some simple updates would be advised.

Very central location. The apartment was clean, very large and the staff is friendly and attentive.

Very friendly staff. Great value for the room.

Do not stay here if you plan to use the internet in your room, worked fine out in lobby but not at all in the room, had to go to starbucks a lot. Also staff does not speak English so communication is tough at times, but we worked through it... Nice room, great cleaning staff etc, just don't plan on using internet in room

Great location and very nice room.. the rooftop pool is a great touch also

Close to beach and Malecón. Room were dark with outdated and worn furniture. Very noisy until 2 am

Central location that is very close to the all the bars and clubs. The beautiful beach just three blocks away. The local bus stop just in front of the property that can take you to a lot of central places. But that weekend can be very noisy. Because the closing time for the bar is about 3:00 am. You heard a lot of noise from the music all night long. Hey you coming here to party isn’t it ?

Good amenities. Very clean, well kept place. Finding them place is a challenge with no signage on the office door. Reception wasn’t able to share much information and referred us to housekeeping who wasn’t on site then. We needed information about our safe, pool towels, and advertised airport shuttle. Not sure it exists. Thank goodness for Roberto who was really helpful. The location beside a nightclub makes for pretty big noise late into the night. Locale for daytime activities is excellent.
