Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is modest and small and that is its appeal. The staff are regular and one can get to know them a bit. The rooms have everything needed and attentive daily housekeeping. The hotel enforces quiet hours (much appreciated). The onsite restaurant is good value. The grounds are very picturesque. The hotel is very pet friendly, providing pet beds and water dishes and lots of grass for the pet. The environment is peaceful. The location is close to stores for groceries, restaurants, and the beach. "
