Villas Iguana Beachfront A-2 - Condominiums for Rent in Tola, Rivas, Nicaragua

We had a peaceful time at the condo. The staff was friendly. The beach location was excellent. We felt safe. Several restaurants on the property. A bit far from the grocery store; you have to think about it and get supplies in advance. All in all, it was great!

Nous avons passé un moment paisible au condo. Le personnel était avenant. L’emplacement à la plage était excellent. Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité. Plusieurs restaurants dans le domaine. Un peu loin de l’épicerie, il faut y penser et faire des provisions à l’avance. Sommes toutes, c’était génial!

Loved the location and the house. We should have requested a grill because we caught a fish

I highly recommend it! Amazing beach and very quiet. Clean and quiet pool. Very good food.

Je recommande fortement! Plage incroyable et très calme. Piscine propre et calme. Nourriture très bonne.

The condo was very clean and the furniture and beds were comfortable.  The kitchen could have been a little better equipped but it was adequate.  We liked that the unit was an end unit because it gave us some privacy.  It was nice to sit in the patio or living room and look out to the ocean.  NSR was very responsive.  As a side note, if you are driving from Managua or Grenada be sure to get gas in Rivas as that will be your nearest gas station when you arrive.  Rivas is about an hour away.

Highly recommend! The place was very clean, right on the beautiful beach and NSR was very helpful and responsive to any questions or inquiries we had. We rented a gold cart to get around, which we found extremely helpful. The golf course was fun and challenging, and we loved playing in the waves and walking the beach. The pool was always sparkling clean and a great temperature to enjoy as well. Everyone was very friendly, and we are already looking forward to returning to Hacienda Iguana.

Great location, great place for families. Would def stay here again. Only issues was, seems previous guests smoked and left a lot of cigarette butts on gras area with patio which was an issue when traveling with two babies. Apart from that everything was great. The ok you to all the staff

We all had a blast! Great location. Friendly staff. We will be back.

Villa Iguanas A-2 was incredible! We were shocked when we walked in and saw the view through the back door for the first time! José, our concierge, checked in with us daily, was immediately responsive, and provided us with everything we needed instantly! The condo was clean, comfortable, and easy to cool down with air conditioning in every room! Being on the outside corner makes it very private, yet we felt safe the entire time. The property is immaculate, and the beach is world class with very little crowd. Be sure to stop at a grocery store in one of the towns on the drive to Hacienda Iguanas if you plan to cook your own meals. The local meats and produce in Nica are fresh, farm raised, and delicious! There is a small store inside the village, but the offerings are not what you can get in town. The toughest part of the trip is having to pack and leave this magical oasis. Thank you NSR for hosting us, we look forward to our next trip with you!

The Villa Iguana was everything described and more. The views were breathtaking. The atmosphere was calm, friendly and peaceful. It was the ideal location. The Villa was very clean. The restaurants in the area were top notch. The food was amazing. NSR and all of the staff were attentive, helped us with anything we needed, and very prompt in their responses. I would absolutely make a return trip and stay there again. It exceeded my expectations.

Great place exactly as described. Private, peaceful and beautiful. Would recommend, wish we stayed longer! Clean sheets, towels, amazing view and got great use of the shared pool where we sat and watched as whales jumped in the ocean.

Very nice place, comfortable, in front of the beach. They responded quickly to any need and the apartment had everything we needed! This is the second time we've stayed at Villa Iguana A 2, it's our favorite by far!

Muy lindo el lugar, cómodo, al frente de la playa. Ante cualquier necesidad respondieron rápidamente y el departamento contaba con todo lo que necesitamos! Ya es segunda vez que nos quedamos en villa iguana A 2, es nuestro favorito por lejos!

NSR was communicative and friendly and great staff overall from beginning to end.

The best thing about the place is the location of the villa because it is the most private of all. But it would be good to renovate the furniture. They're too old and worn out. During the days of accommodation, the operations staff were super attentive and resolved small problems. The bad experience was with the person assigned to the reservation. Very unhelpful and zero introductory attention. Overall it was a pleasant experience. I recommend villa A2, not the booking staff.

Lo mejor del alojamiento es la Ubicacion de la Villa porque es la mas privada de todas. Pero seria bueno renovar muebles. Estan demasiados antiguos y usados. Durante los dias de alojamiento el personal de operaciones fue super antento y resolvio pequeños inconvenientes. La mala experiencia fue con la persona asignada a la reserva. De muy poca ayuda y cero atencion introductoria. En general fue una experiencia agradable. Recomiendo la villa A2 no asi el personal de reserva.

Hola Nubia, gracias por su retroalimentacion. A como le explicamos varias veces, por hacer su reserva con Airbnb, cualquier pregunta o cambio al metodo de pago se tenia que ver con ellos, nosotros no controlamos esa parte de la reserva. Para el futuro, contactenos antes de confirmar la reserva y asi le podemos resolver cualquier duda. Saludes!

I love it when I can walk a mile on a beach and generally see no more than 3 dozen people the whole time. There were always surfers enjoying the great waves  and the water is never calm which meant I felt better in  the pool. There were several restaurants which made it nice for night dining. There's a 9 hole golf course and once you pay for 9 you can play as many holes as you want.  It was always possible to go to the office with a question or text them and they were responsive.

Staying in Hacienda Iguana A2 was an amazing experience. The house was super spacious with beautiful ocean front view. Just by two great surfing spots. It was the last house in a row so we had much privacy. The staff was super nice and helpful. Moreover we felt safe even walking around after dark. For sure the place to come back!

Great place, great location, everything was perfect!

very good service and the place exceeded expectations.

atendimento muito bom e o lugar superou as expectativas.

Villa Iguana A-2 is a steal of a deal! You can't get any closer to the beach, surf & peace of this location. Only the sounds of the waves, birds and wildlife to listen to. The house was perfect for our small family! We felt totally safe at night, and had complete privacy to enjoy our patio cafes in the morning, and our afternoon sunsets. NSR was a great management team, super responsive, and they set us up with surf guides and an in-home cook. Get groceries in Rivas or the small town just outside of Hacienda Iguanas. There is a store within as well, but limited items. The surf was magical at Panga Drops and almost right out our door! Hire Xochilt for cooking, her food was incredible, and she has the sweetest demeanor! The beachclub was a nice hangout, and the food at Pili's was great, in fact, all of the food was delicious. The beach was practically empty, which was such a gift! All in all, we give this place more than 5 stars for overall experience!

We had an amazing stay at iguana and cannot wait to visit again! It was the perfect size for our group, and the AC worked very well. The wifi was a bit spotty but it wasn’t a big deal as we spent most of our time at the beach anyway. Highly recommend!

The house is incredible. Highly recommend!

Great location, very quiet and beautiful beach

Recommended very good location, the place is comfortable  and has good maintenance.

Recomendado muy buena ubicación, el lugar es cómodo  y cuenta con buen mantenimiento.

Incredible beach views with a very private feel!  They provide clean drinking water which was very nice :)

Had a great time, condo is the best location in the villa iguana complex in my opinion.  It's an older unit but well maintained.  couple of the windows had a tough time sliding in their tracks.  All the food inside the Hacienda Iguana development is great but you pay for it(similar to restaurant prices in USA).  You need a moto or a golf cart to get around hacienda iguana but if you have that its a breeze.

Hacienda Iguana is a gated enclave filled with various homes, condos, a 9 hole golf course and a handful of restaurants. This condo is part of the Villa Iguana complex at the north end of the beach. Our particular unit was wonderful. Corner , 1st floor unit right on the beach with a sense of privacy. Very well kept, not necessarily new furnishings but all very comfortable. We could walk the length of the beach in about 20min. and rented bikes to get around the community. The NSR staff was super helpful, communicative and available for any help we needed. We had a great stay!

We loved this place. It was as described and you walk right the back door onto a beautiful beach! Already planning to return!

Amazing ! Right on beach!!   Beautiful location. Easy to get down to the beach! So many things to do. We bike ride and did horse back riding. Just remember to bring additional things for cooking !  But amazing stay. Would definitely love to come back in the future.

Great place, I will stay again. Staff was very helpful.

Bonito apartamento con excelente ubicacion. Cumple con las expectativas.

The place is so private within the apartment complex that one feels the garden and the beach are all yours. The beach is gorgeous and fabulous sunsets. The house is as described and host is responsive. I will definitely come again

Best beach location at Hacienda Iguana for the money.

El lugar maravilloso, todo lo que esperabamos y más! Limpio, buena ubicación, cómodo y ante cualquier necesidad o duda respondían inmediatamente. Prefecta combinación entre entorno natural y comodidad!! Esperamos volver pronto!!!

We had an amazing time! Great stay, beach right at your doorstep!

Great service, place had amazing views to the beach, right at your doorstep!

Great experience and hands down the BEST location on property.  Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Perfect spot for a week long surf trip for 2 dudes. Place was really clean and private and we will absolutely be staying here again. It’s a little far of a walk from the main break at Colorados but just rent a golf cart and everything is really accessible.   Couldn’t recommend this place and all of Hacienda Iguana any higher!

Great place perfect location. Just in need of some love. A bit of shampoo, some salt and pepper. It had no warmth or care. Sun and Chris were wonderful.

Great place! Beachfront, private, clean, communication with the host was good. Everything was great with the Villa, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Seating in the porch one morning we saw a couple of whales in the sea ❤️

The beachfront patio is amazing! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking breakfast each morning. One of the rooms has no windows making it the BEST room if you have a baby/toddler that naps! It is a lovely walk along the beach to get to Pili's. Highly recommend this spot!

Great place! Amazing view! 10 second walk to the beach!

Great condo for the price with a beachfront view on the quiet, northern side of Iguana.  We stayed here with two small kids and four adults, and had enough space for all.  We'll definitely stay here again!

Very nice apartment at the end of the complex so has good privacy- the view from the patio is just like in the photo-outstanding.  Clean and very nice pool, and this part of the the beach is better for the kids to swim (less current).  Really good place.

Excellent customer service. Very private Villa. Well equipated, renew bathrooms and Ac.

The best location at Iguana. This unit is at the end of the group of buildings, so it’s really private even though it’s a first floor. Everything is like in the pictures and works. We has a small problem with the living room AC snd NRS sent someone right away to fix it.
