Nothing, loved everything

All of it the entire experience was incredible would come back for sure. Staff was so accommodating and attentive.
Not much, certainly pricy but I suppose that is the price for excellent service.

5 / 10·Mar 2025
Nice looking rooms and pretty setting
Very expensive with added cost for surfboard rental, whereas our kids stayed a block away for a fraction of the price and they received free surfboard rentals (from the Gilded Iguana's own surf shop) but they charged us $ 50 for 2 hours! Felt like quite a ripoff as we paid 4-5 times what they did for a room at the Gilded Iguana.
