First let me say that we researched hundreds of properties before deciding on Villa Iguana...and we were in no way disappointed! Ultimately Villa Iguana had everything we were looking for -- a stunning isolated beach, a spacious home with plenty of bedrooms, and lots of multi-use outdoor space. In short -- privacy, privacy, privacy!
Let's begin with the outdoor living space since that's where we spent 90% of our time. Just outside the sliding door of the indoor living/dining area, there's a covered outdoor veranda with sitting and dining spaces, where we found ourselves convening in the mornings with coffee and books and again at lunchtime. Just beyond the covered porch is a small but well-maintained pool, a row of six comfortable chaises (easily moveable to take advantage of the sun), two more chaises with pristine views of the ocean, two large and comfortable cushioned seating areas (both shaded), three hammocks under a palapa, and finally eight loungers right on the beach. So, you see, there are many different options depending on your desire for sun or not. We happened to experience quite a bit of wind the first three days, making it difficult to lay at the beach, so protected areas were welcomed. We were surprised that no one else had mentioned the wind in their reviews, so maybe it was a one-off for early March. Thankfully, though, we had very little sargosa (seaweed) and no bugs to speak of, so that was a bonus.
Our ONLY complaint about the outdoor space was that it would have been helpful to have a gas grill, as it was tricky to light the charcoal in the wind and a bit of a pain to do it twice a day, if we opted to grill at both lunch and dinner. And we often did because the indoor kitchen, while fairly well-equipped, was quite dated. It's no wonder they didn't show it along with the other photos of the interior spaces (note: no dishwasher). Claudia and Minar were around in the early mornings -- very lovely and helpful (Puffed Cheetos as fire starters, who knew?!) -- but they retreated by 11 am which left us with all the clean-up/dishes.
Otherwise, the interior was quite attractive with beautifully tiled en suite bathrooms and comfortable(ish) firm beds. However, the TVs in each bedroom did not replace the fact that there was no communal sitting area in which to convene as a family to watch a movie/show (hint: bring a laptop and an HDMI cord and crowd into a bedroom).
Honestly, you can't go wrong with VI and that dazzling Bay!
