Boca de Iguanas Hotel Opens
Filed under: Journeys
Last year I wrote about the Boca de Iguanas project in Mexico which includes both residences and a hotel. Now the small boutique hotel is open for business. The 12-room Costalegre beach boutique hotel has rooms which are named for nature but also reflect their unique characteristics: the "Selva Suite" (meaning jungle) has an outdoor soaking Jacuzzi tub next to a mangrove estuary, "Palmas" overlooks a stand of coconut palms, "Agua" has an oversized Jacuzzi tub and "Noche" features a spiral wooden staircase leading to a terrace and bed for sleeping under the stars. There is also a beach club with an infinity edge swimming pool, and an al fresco restaurant and bar. Future pans include rustic cabanas hidden in the hills and a holistic wellness spa. Also, each Thursday night features a bonfire with full bar service and canvas folding chairs with blankets. Guests can also join the onsite biologist during turtle season (October to March) during her nightly patrols of the Boca de Iguanas beach to help recover and relocate sea turtle eggs to the turtle camp. The resort also has a wine cave, an organic fruit and vegetable garden and a community herb garden. Rates start at $240 per night and include breakfast each day and happy hour cocktails.
