The sunsets are sensational during this period, painting the sky in vibrant hues.

While the refuge is nearby, Club de Playa Iguanita itself offers delightful wildlife surprises. We often spot howler monkeys in the trees surrounding the property and vibrant scarlet macaws flying overhead, especially at dawn and dusk. Keep an eye out for iguanas sunning themselves near the pool area - a true testament to the hotel's name.

We find Club de Playa Iguanita strikes a wonderful balance between relaxed beach charm and understated luxury.
