Two rivers border both the north and south side of the resort where you can see abundant wildlife, including tropical birds, iguanas, sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach and Howler monkeys. Take a bike ride or hike around this amazing area.
Most of what you will want to do can be found inside the gates of Hacienda Iguana. There is a challenging 9 hole golf course, yoga classes in a beachfront palapa, bootcamps organized on the beach, horseback rides that leave from your door - and of course amazing surf!
You can walk down the beach to Pili's Restaurant and Beach Bar to enjoy some of the best food in the region- breakfast, lunch or dinner everything is organic and super fresh. Stop by to the Beach Club to enjoy the pool, join a volleyball game or grab a few drinks in the bar area and hang out with other guests and residents. Or a short walk from there takes you to Dubs Wine Bar for wine, burgers or just to chill with wifi access on their deck.
The commercial center just inside the second gate features a growing list of businesses and restaurants:
Restaurants include Casa Ananas, Don Eloys, Iguana Brewery, Downtown Iguana (from the folks who ran Casa Maderas) and Scoops Cafe.
the NSR surf shop is where you can rent boards or pick up other surf items or bikes.
For Spa services check out Satori Spa or Pure Massage.
