Review by hotel critic
As an avid marathon runner who thrives on balance and adventure, my recent stay at the Gilded Iguana in Nosara, Costa Rica, was nothing short of spectacular. Just a short stroll from Playa Guiones—one of the world’s most consistent surf breaks—the hotel perfectly marries relaxation and active pursuits. The fitness facilities, including the Iguana Athletic Center, catered brilliantly to my active lifestyle, providing diverse classes that ensured I was well-prepared for the day’s adventures. The staff were incredibly friendly, and their commitment to service elevated my experience significantly; they even sent helpful WhatsApp messages about surf conditions, making planning my day effortless. The accommodations were top-notch, featuring spacious rooms with high ceilings and private outdoor terraces—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. With a relaxed atmosphere and delightful provisions like a well-stocked restaurant, I felt invigorated and right at home, ready to conquer any challenge that came my way. For those seeking an immersive experience, the option to join a week-long surf camp makes the Gilded Iguana an absolute must-visit!
