My stay at Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya was a mix of charming tranquility and some challenges. The location is beautifully surrounded by nature, though the room amenities left much to be desired. I enjoyed the authentic Mexican food offered at the restaurant, but the swimming pool was quite cold. Overall, it was an adequate experience, but I might choose differently next time.
