    The Gilded Iguana is a real gem in town. The staff is friendly and informative, making us feel welcome from the start. The hotel is centrally located, just a quick walk to the beach where the waves never stop rolling in. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a relaxing outdoor shower in addition to the main bathroom. great value for money with all the amenities included.

    No improvements needed, everything was just perfect.
