The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel Premium Queen - Boutique hotels for Rent in Guanacaste, Nosara, Costa Rica

The Gilded Iguana is a fantastic hotel. Impeccable rooms and great facilities. Strongly recommend.

Great stay! Amazing staff. Great beach access. Awesome pool! The staff at the pool and front desk go above and beyond to help the guests, while making sure the pool does not get too rowdy. Large breakfast though the brunch is even better on the weekend. One of the best massages that I ever had. A Surf Club where you can rent boogie and surf boards is another bonus.  It has ping pong, and a smoothie bar and is a good spot to get some shade , a break from the sun, while just a 3 min walk back to the beach.
