Fantastic!
Incredible staff, every need was met and attended to. They even went so far as to decorate the house for my sons birthday that happened to coincide with our being there. Location was amazing and easy for us to navigate to all the islands. House was so well laid out, everything we needed was there. Would recommend this 100% to anyone looking to stay in the Galapagos.

Outstanding way to visit Galapagos
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Galapagos. The house was outstanding for our multi-generational family of 10. The architecture and all the interesting artifacts from the owner's travels were amazing. Whenever we weren't out exploring, the children lived in the pool and hot tub--and the adults were always enjoying the ever-changing water views. At first we were apprehensive about access only by water taxi, but it turned out not to be a problem, as Byron, Mariana and Esperanza went out of their way to arrange transportation for all of our excursions. The home is easily accessible to town at all hours of the day or night. Byron, Mariana and Esperanza were remarkable--so helpful and kind in every way, even finding babysitters one day. They took care of grocery shopping and cooking virtually all the meals for our group, gracefully accommodating our schedules, and overlooking the messes that a group our size tends to accumulate. We wanted to take them home with us! We are so glad we decided on this home and would heartily recommend it as a highly preferable alternative to a Galapagos cruise.

Amazing house and location.
We rented the house for five days. There were nine of us (two families), 4 adults and 5 kids (10-16 years old). Overall, we absolutely loved the house. House is amazing, the pictures don’t do it justice, it is amazing! Location is amazing, the team at the house are fantastic, and really have no complaints and highly recommend renting the property. We saw little sharks, sea lions, birds, tuna, turtles, rays, all while sitting outside at the place. Can’t say enough about the house and the experience!

Extraordinary Adventure
Our family and close friends were anticipating a spectacular adventure in the Galapagos—and the experience surpassed all expectation!! Casa la Iguana is comfortable, stunningly beautiful and the perfect spot to enjoy a multigenerational retreat. We are so grateful to Juan, Marianna, Esperanza and Byron for their care and kindness. A truly special place and wonderful people. Thank you!!!

Terrific family experience
The property was accurately represented and was amazing, beautiful and well-located. Every facet was exceptionally positive, and most particularly the availability and wonderful services of Byron, Mariana, and Esperanza. Tho accurately described, the limited availability of good, fast wi- fi/internet was the only situation that we personally found "wanting". All else was exceptional, including the assistance/guidance provided by the owner prior to our visit. Steve
