Iguana Lodge offers a beautiful setting with a serene beach and a range of activities that make it a delightful getaway. The accommodations are well-kept and the amenities, including the pool and kayaking options, are a nice touch. However, my dining experience didn't quite meet expectations, and the pricing can be a bit steep for what you get, especially when it comes to food options.
