We had a wonderful stay at The Gilded Iguana! We were given such a wonderful welcome when we arrived, greeted with warm smiles, cool wet towels to wipe our hands and faces after our long day of travel, and refreshing fresh coconut water straight from the coconut. Our room was spotless and was maintained that way the entire stay by the dedicated housekeeping team, with fresh towels and toiletries from Raw Botanicals that we enjoyed using during our stay. We loved spending time on the comfortable lounge chairs by the beautiful pool and jacuzzi, kept at the same perfect temperature. We enjoyed the fresh breakfast buffet she made-to-order omelettes served in the garden/restaurant. Throughout our stay, we especially enjoyed talking with Camila, who was always super friendly and was also very helpful with recommendations on where to go and restaurants to visit. Francisco was also terrific. He made sure to find us to arrange for us to see the turtles come ashore, and helped to make us feel welcome at the hotel in general. We were sad to say goodbye to both of them at the end of our stay. We would definitely recommend The Gilded Iguana for anyone visiting this area!

Although we didn't stay at The Gilded Iguana, we purchased day access to enjoy the gym, spa, and pool, and it was absolutely worth it. The pool is, in our opinion, the best in Nosara. It's beautifully designed, relaxing, impeccably maintained, and a great place to spend an afternoon. The spa was outstanding—easily one of the best we've experienced in the area. Treatments are on the expensive side, but the quality of the therapists, facilities, and overall experience justified the premium. The gym was also excellent. While it's a little smaller than some luxury resort fitness centers, it has high-quality equipment, is spotless, and was more than sufficient for a great workout. If you're visiting Nosara and looking for a first-class spa day, an exceptional pool, or a quality gym, The Gilded Iguana is an excellent choice. Even as non-hotel guests, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely return.
