Stayed here for one night on our way home from the Osa. Its a nice motel with new nicely appointed rooms. I was pleasantly surprised with the nice bathrooms and comfortable beds . The owners were very friendly and hospitable to us. We had to catch an early flight the next am and she made sure the kids had french toast (freshly prepared) and fruit before we left, very kind. Our only beef was that the night we stayed there was "pasta night". Sounded benign enough when they told me about it at booking but it was unbearable for us. Pasta night involves the installation of a speaker the approximate size of a small volkswagon by a local DJ. Soon after the place is packed with 20 something locals for dancing and a lot of beer consumption.The speaker is turned up as high as it will go resulting in bone rattling sound. We had spent the previous week at a very special,back to nature quiet place with no tv, radio, cell phone etc. Needless to say this was a huge shock to our systems and continued until 10:00 pm (DJ removed small vw at 9:00). You couldn't retreat to the room as it is above the whole scene. We fled in a cab to a wonderful nearby restaurant Jade Luna (quite good) to pass the time. We returned to the motel at 8:45 or so and joined the rest of the occupants of our floor at the Iguana Lodge lobby waiting for the bone rattling "music" to stop. We returned to our room and a barrage of "f" bombs from below. As we were traveling with our three kids, we weren't happy. Pasta night will provide you with ear drum busting music and make you feel like you are in the middle of a frat party at full swing. If this doesn't appeal to you, as it didn't appeal to us, I would stay elsewhere.
