We stayed one night at the Casa Iguana Mar y Sol prior to a 7-night cruise, but regretted not staying at least a couple nights more. After our $1 taxi ride from the airport (gratuities added in for the bags, of course :) we were met at the front gate by Luis, the owner. Luis doesn't speak much English, but... More

On our tour of the galapagos, Casa iguana mar y sol stood out as the nicest place we stayed. The location was fantastic, a 3 minute walk along the waterfront to the ferry wharf. The rooms were cool, quiet and comfortable with perfect a/c and a roof fan for the cooler nights. Breakfast was substantial and entertaining with the delightful... More

Luis was an amazing host from the second our taxi rolled around to dump our bags mud tour until the second we left. We only wish we had longer to stay here & enjoy Luis welcoming smile & the best breakfast since we left Sydney! The room was the best we've had from the comfy bed to the exquisitly handcrafted...

We spent 3 nights at the Casa Iguana and liked it more and more the longer we stayed. Luis and Patricia the owners, were very accommodating and super-friendly. Patricia baked a cake and gave us some afternoon tea and even offered to wash some clothes for us, so nice! We had the smallest room (I think) but it was spacious,... More

We value so much our guests who travel from so far at great expense to visit our island. When our guests are out of their room for an adventure, we tidy the beds and clean the bathrooms., Sometimes this is in the afternoon. Being good stewards of the scant water supply on our desert island, we have long adopted the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Casa Iguana Mar Y Sol for one night. When we arrived we were met by our gracious hosts, Luis and Patricia. The main salon was well appointed and very clean, as was the room we stayed in. Overall the facilites were at higher than typical standards for the area. The room we had... More

On our Dec 2012 to the Galapagos, we were able to book a night at the Casa Iguana before meeting our ship for our week long cruise. The owners were working in the yard the evening we arrived and really made us feel welcome. Luis and Patricia showed us around their beautiful Casa (designed and built by Luis). We stayed... More

May be the nicest hotel in town! In the absence of a 5 star and 4 star hotel, this is a welcome surprise filled with love and hospitality that made us feel right at home. It's not just a hotel but a home and a labor of love and we are glad we stayed here. Rooms were clean, breakfast was... More

We had a terrific stay at the Casa Iguana Mar Y Sol. Quite possibly the cleanest place we have ever stayed in all of our travels. Pride of ownership really shows here. Luis and Patricia built this B&B from the ground up and the workmanship is very impressive. I should also mention the breakfast that Luis cooks were fabulous and... More

It would be hard to find fault or criticise the Casa Iguana! The love and attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of the building and which is carried through to the service and welcome is really beyond anything I usually experience. I must say that I don't often stay in guest houses or B&B's as I tend... More

Casa Iguana is the best b & b I have found in Latin and Caribbean areas. The room, actually a suite, was huge and spotless. It was also beautiful, tastefully decorated in a local theme. Our hostess and host, Patricia and Luis, did a super job of being attentive and helpful. We enjoyed Luis' breakfasts, with local fruits and Patricia's... More
