No one said you had to rough it when on an adventure. Explore and experience things for the first time. Come home to comfort, watch incredible sunsets and share your adventures with new found friends.

IGUANAZUL is located on the northwest Pacific coast, approximately twenty eight kilometers south of Tamarindo Airport or a five-hour drive northwest from Costa Rica's capital city, San José. The hotel is situated on a cliff, with a spectacular view of the Pacific ocean, surrounding deserted beaches and unforgettable sunsets.

Along with the lush vegetation and exotic wildlife located on land, you can also find a world of marine life in the ocean right in the hotel's front yard. The hotel is just a twisty sloping trail away from the most perfect white sand beach; it is just secluded and solitary enough to make you believe that you have become a castaway in paradise.

As if the intensity of the impossibly blue Costa Rican sky meeting the equally impossibly blue of the ocean at the horizon line were not enough to create moments of contemplation, there is also the mixture of the white sand and green trees and plants to fill your eyes.

The Iguanazul's twenty-four spacious cabinas all have two double beds, large Spanish-tiled bathrooms with hot water and ceiling fans. Vaulted ceilings and cool pacific breezes keep the rooms comfortable for a good nights sleep.

Get the best out of your vacation, explore anyway you want. Kayak the pristine Junquillal mangrove, Snorkel the tidal pools on Playa Blanca. If it's fishing you're looking for, you can surf cast for Bonita, Jacks and Snook or go Deep Sea fishing with one of the many professional off-shore boats. Tours on Horseback take you down beaches and through the local villages. Surfing is unlimited, world famous Playa Negra, Avellanas and countless secret spots are right out in the front yard.

Day trips to the cloud forests of Rincon de la Vieja,Caves of Barra Honda, and the Turtle nesting beaches of Ostional and Playa Grande can easily be made in a day.
