I stayed two nights at Villa Iguana, in June 2011. It was a very good choice. As I really hate huge beach resorts I was searching something smaller and far from All-inclusive hotels. Bayhibe still maintains its intimate and informal charm. The Villa and its staff are easy going, helpful and discrete. You can communicate there in German and French,... More

We tried this place despite some negative feedback from others. The owners were extremely helpful and the staff friendly. It gets a little noisy sometimes (roosters, dogs, music) but I expect that in the middle of a village. Highly recommended.

The Villa Iguana is straight-forward, immaculate, and convenient. As others have noted, the important thing to know is that they have a range of accomodations from very small, reasonable rooms, through serviced apartments, to a unique roof-top apartment with pool. We stayed in an excellent second floor one bedroom apartment for a very fair price. The double bed was comfortable,... More

We stayed in the bottom floor one bedroom apartment. It was great. Full kitchen (small but enough) but the best pasrt was the private patio outside with a table, chairs and a BBQ pit. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to everything. The grocery store and ATM were just a block away and the beach/restaurants were 2 blocks.... More

My bf and I stayed here on a recent trip to Bayahibe- my favorite DR destination! We chose this place because we really didn't want to be isolated on a resort without any cultural experience whatsoever. Plus the price was very reasonable. The first night, we stayed in a basic room with air since we got there late at night.... More

Small hotel, clean and calm. Air-con and small breakfast. It is OK if you don't stay long, beacuse it is really small, there is no area to relax, no bar or restaurant.

We didn't book this villa ahead, just walked in, liked it and stayed for 5 days. It was 1 bedroom apartment with 2 beds, living room with the kitchenette and all the appliances, very clean, and breakfast is included. Neighborhood was nice and safe, the grocery stores and the restaurants are close by, the beach is about 10 min walking.... More

About three weeks in advance, I booked two rooms over the phone with the owner herself. When I showed up, they told me they didn't have a reservation under my name, and looked at me like I was crazy for even suggesting that they should. Normally I would have just gone looking for something else, but it was high season... More

I have always booked the penthouse wich has its own small swiming pool all to your self and with its secure and always watched premisses you cannot ask for more. , and dont, because these are apartments and not a hotel for those that wanted someone to open the door for you. HA HA HA you buch of knuckelheads.

I struggle with how to rate this hotel, because it really depends on how you look at it - and what you want or expect in a hotel. In the end, I rated it above average because it is a clean, well-constructed property in an area where not many such places exist - BUT many of the complaints from other... More
