This is our third visit to the beautiful Mismaloya and to the Casa Iguana Hotel. Mismaloya is a friendly village situated a 5 minutes walk from the sea and the lovely Playa Mismaloya beach. It’s a 20 minute, 7 peso bus ride south of Puerto Valarta making it a perfect base for enjoying both the holiday atmosphere of Puerto Valarta,... More

I have been coming here since it opened. It has been a healing, saving grace for me. I noticed the beginning of the decline when a wealthy Guadalajara family bought it about a year and a half ago. They closed down the laundry room, causing us take the 20 minute journey into town to get our laundry done and then... More

Lovely place to stay, and George at the restaurant is the best! We caught some fishes and he cook them for us! He is the best! He also plays guitar! 5 minutes walking to get to the Mismaloya beach! the rooms are clean; and they have everything you need! We will come back soon! More

We stayed at Casa Iguana for only two nights arriving late the first night. The hotel is about 20 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta and an interesting taxi ride. When we arrived it was dark and we were greeted by the front desk who were waiting for us. We checked into our rooms and walked up the streets of Mismaloya... More

This was our second stay at the beautiful Casa Iguana, a lovely spot carved out of the surrounding jungle. We stayed for the whole month of February. The hotel has changed ownership but the quality of service was better than last year. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds and our suite were well maintained and the addition... More

This was our fourth stay at Casa Iguana "Our Little Hidden Gem of a Hotel in the Jungle" since 2003. Although still very clean, quiet, and comfortable, it is in desperate need of some TLC and updateing. It was sad to see that they are letting everything get so old and worn out! Before I explain the negative, let me... More

When we booked this trip we used AAA and were given a large selection of packages to choose from. Being budget minded we chose the least expensive. This left some doubt as to how great the accomodations would be. Well we were not disappointed in the least. The hotel and surrounding grounds are very beautiful. The office staff were friendly...

My husband and I stayed 3 weeks at the Casa Iguana Hotel. This was our 4th stay. We love the ambiance and staff. Serano Resturant (located at the hotel) is EXCELLENT. The Manager Jorge Joya was a delight. We rarely ordered from the menu. Jorge would surprise us with a sumptious dinner each night we dined at the resturant. The... More

My top priority for the first 3 nights of my solo vacation In Mexico was to relax, unwind and shift gears into a slower pace. I knew that could not happen in Puerto Vallarta, so chose to come here, 45 minutes' (7 miles) from the Puerto Vallarta Airport. I paid $25 for a taxi here and enjoyed the ride. The... More

I can't recommend this place enough. If you want to get away from the tourist traps, the all-inclusive party pads, the timeshare pitches, the touts, the hustle and bustle (and still be near all of that in Puerto Vallarta) this is the place. My girlfriend and I did, and for a week, we were not disappointed. The property is spotless,... More
