Villa Iguana - Pool-View Villa in Playa Lagarto Eco Development

Welcome to Your Costa Rican Escape

Welcome to your tropical getaway in Playa Lagarto Eco Development, a peaceful gated community surrounded by the natural beauty of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

This cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa is an ideal choice for couples, families, friends, and longer-stay guests looking for a comfortable home base away from the crowds. With a relaxing pool view, tropical surroundings, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and access to three community swimming pools, the villa offers the perfect balance of relaxation, convenience, and adventure.

Imagine starting your morning with a cup of Costa Rican coffee on the patio while looking toward the pool and listening to tropical birds. Spend the afternoon exploring nearby beaches, return home for a refreshing swim, and finish the day watching the sunset over the Pacific.

This is Costa Rica at its best: relaxed, natural, peaceful, and surrounded by opportunities to explore.

THE VILLA

Designed for comfort rather than formality, this inviting villa gives you the feeling of having your own little tropical home.

The villa features two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it especially convenient for families or two couples traveling together. Having two private bathrooms means everyone can enjoy their own space and morning routines without feeling crowded.

The living area provides a comfortable place to relax after a day at the beach or exploring Guanacaste. Open the doors to let in the tropical air, settle in with a good book, connect with friends and family, or simply enjoy a slower pace of life.

The villa's pool-facing location gives you a pleasant tropical outlook and places you close to one of the community's swimming areas.

Whether you're staying for a few nights, a week, or an extended Costa Rican vacation, the villa provides the essentials you need to settle in and enjoy your time in paradise.

TWO COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS

After a day spent swimming, surfing, hiking, sightseeing, or exploring the coast, you'll appreciate having a comfortable place to recharge.

The villa has two bedrooms, making it an excellent option for:

• Couples traveling together

• Families with children

• Friends sharing a vacation

• Two couples wanting separate bedrooms

• Guests staying for longer periods

• Travelers looking for a peaceful Guanacaste home base

Each bedroom is designed with relaxation in mind, giving guests a quiet place to retreat at the end of the day.

The two-bedroom layout also provides considerably more privacy and flexibility than a typical one-bedroom vacation rental.

TWO FULL BATHROOMS

With two full bathrooms, mornings are easier and evenings are more comfortable when you're traveling with family or friends.

After a sandy day at one of Guanacaste's beautiful beaches, you'll have plenty of room to rinse off, shower, and get ready for dinner or an evening out.

FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN

Enjoy the freedom and convenience of having your own kitchen during your Costa Rica vacation.

The kitchen is equipped for preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and everything in between. Pick up fresh tropical fruit, local produce, seafood, coffee, and other Costa Rican favorites and enjoy a relaxed meal at home.

Having a kitchen is particularly useful for families, longer stays, and guests who prefer some meals at home rather than dining out every day.

Start the morning with coffee before heading to the beach, prepare lunch before an afternoon adventure, or enjoy a casual dinner back at the villa.

You can vacation on your own schedule.

POOL VIEW & TROPICAL SURROUNDINGS

One of the villa's most appealing features is its view toward the community pool.

Step outside and enjoy the tropical surroundings while watching the activity around the pool. The setting is relaxed and informal, making it easy to transition between your villa and the community's outdoor spaces.

Playa Lagarto Eco Development is surrounded by tropical vegetation and natural habitat, so don't be surprised if your stay includes some unexpected visitors.

Howler monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds, butterflies, and other wildlife can frequently be seen throughout the development.

For many guests, these encounters become some of their favorite Costa Rica memories.

THREE COMMUNITY POOLS

Guests have access to three community swimming pools within Playa Lagarto Eco Development.

Whether you want to swim laps, cool off after a day in the sun, entertain the kids, or simply sit beside the water with a good book, having multiple pool areas gives you options during your stay.

Spend the morning at the beach and the afternoon by the pool—or simply stay home and enjoy a quiet day in the development.

There is no need to have an activity planned every day.

Sometimes the best Costa Rica vacation is the one where you slow down.

A NATURE-LOVER'S GETAWAY

Playa Lagarto Eco Development offers something that can be difficult to find in more heavily developed tourist areas: space, privacy, greenery, and nature.

The development is surrounded by tropical dry forest and natural landscapes, creating a peaceful environment where wildlife remains part of everyday life.

During your stay, keep your eyes open for:

• Howler monkeys

• Iguanas

• Tropical birds

• Butterflies

• Geckos and other small wildlife

• Native tropical vegetation

You may hear howler monkeys in the distance before you ever see them.

Early mornings can be especially beautiful, when the temperatures are cooler and the sounds of the surrounding forest begin to wake up.

If you're looking for a Costa Rica experience that combines comfortable accommodation with a genuine connection to nature, this is an ideal setting.

THE BEACHES OF GUANACASTE

One of the biggest advantages of staying in this part of Guanacaste is the variety of beaches and coastal experiences available within driving distance.

Explore the Pacific coastline and discover beaches ranging from quiet and uncrowded to popular surf destinations.

Nearby areas include:

Playa Lagarto

A beautiful local beach offering a relaxed coastal experience and spectacular Pacific sunsets.

Playa Junquillal

Known for its peaceful atmosphere, natural beauty, and long stretches of beach.

Playa Marbella

A favorite destination for travelers looking for a quieter beach experience and excellent surfing conditions.

Playa Avellanas

A renowned surfing destination with a laid-back beach atmosphere.

Playa Negra

Another popular surfing area where experienced surfers can enjoy the Pacific waves.

Playa Nosara & the Nosara area

A great option for exploring restaurants, wellness experiences, shopping, yoga, and the famous beaches around Nosara.

Each beach has its own personality, and exploring them is part of the adventure.

SUNSETS ON THE PACIFIC

Costa Rica's Pacific coast is famous for its sunsets, and Guanacaste delivers some spectacular evening skies.

After a day of adventure, head toward the coast and find a comfortable spot on the beach.

Watch the sun disappear over the Pacific as the sky changes from bright tropical blue to shades of orange, pink, and purple.

Bring a towel, grab a cold drink, and enjoy one of the simplest pleasures Costa Rica has to offer.

No itinerary required.

ADVENTURE IS CLOSE BY

While the villa is perfect for relaxing, there is no shortage of things to do if you're looking for adventure.

Depending on the season and local availability, activities in the surrounding region can include:

• Surfing

• Swimming

• Snorkeling

• Fishing

• Sport fishing

• Horseback riding

• ATV adventures

• Ziplining

• Hiking

• Wildlife watching

• Kayaking

• Stand-up paddleboarding

• Beachcombing

• Sunset excursions

• Boat tours

• National park visits

Whether you want an action-packed vacation or only a few memorable adventures mixed into a relaxing stay, Guanacaste gives you plenty of choices.

EXPLORE COSTA RICA

The villa is also a great base for exploring some of the natural and cultural attractions of Guanacaste.

Depending on your interests, consider day trips to places such as Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Barra Honda, Santa Rosa National Park, or the communities and beaches around Nosara and Sámara.

You can spend one day hiking through volcanic landscapes, another relaxing on the beach, and another exploring local restaurants and markets.

Costa Rica rewards travelers who leave room for spontaneity.

LOCAL FOOD & DINING

One of the pleasures of staying in Guanacaste is discovering local food.

Look for traditional Costa Rican dishes such as:

• Gallo pinto

• Casado

• Ceviche

• Fresh seafood

• Grilled fish

• Costa Rican-style chicken and beef

• Fresh tropical fruit

• Homemade tortillas

• Patacones

Local restaurants around the surrounding communities offer opportunities to experience the flavors of Costa Rica.

And because you have a fully equipped kitchen at the villa, you can also prepare your own meals when you'd rather enjoy a quiet evening at home.

PERFECT FOR A RELAXING FAMILY VACATION

Families will appreciate having two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, outdoor space, and access to three swimming pools.

Instead of being confined to a single hotel room, everyone can spread out and enjoy the villa as a home base.

Spend the morning swimming, head to the beach in the afternoon, and return to the villa for dinner and relaxation.

The natural surroundings also provide children with an opportunity to experience a very different side of Costa Rica—one where monkeys call from the trees, birds fly overhead, and wildlife can appear unexpectedly.

GREAT FOR COUPLES & FRIENDS

The villa is equally well suited to couples and friends traveling together.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms allow everyone to maintain their privacy while still having shared spaces for meals, conversation, and relaxation.

It's an excellent choice for travelers who want to enjoy Costa Rica together without sacrificing personal space.

A PEACEFUL ALTERNATIVE TO BUSY RESORTS

If you're searching for a large resort with constant entertainment, nightlife, and crowds, this may not be the right property for you.

But if your idea of a great Costa Rica vacation involves:

Nature.

Peace.

Beaches.

Wildlife.

Swimming.

Sunsets.

Adventure.

Privacy.

And the freedom to slow down...

then you'll likely feel right at home here.

Playa Lagarto Eco Development offers a more peaceful and natural Costa Rican experience.

YOUR HOME BASE FOR EXPLORING GUANACASTE

One of the best things about staying in a vacation villa is having a comfortable place to return to after exploring.

After a day of driving along the coast, surfing, hiking, or visiting local attractions, come home, turn on the air conditioning, take a swim, prepare dinner, and relax.

Your vacation doesn't have to revolve around a schedule.

Wake up when you want.

Have coffee on the patio.

Go to the beach.

Come home for lunch.

Take a swim.

Watch the wildlife.

Drive out for sunset.

Return to your villa.

That's the Pura Vida lifestyle.

IMPORTANT LOCATION INFORMATION

Playa Lagarto Eco Development is intentionally located in a peaceful, natural setting.

The road into the development can be rural and, depending on weather conditions, especially during the rainy season, conditions can become more challenging.

For this reason, we recommend guests arrive prepared.

Please fuel your vehicle before entering the area, as fuel stations and major shopping facilities are not immediately within the development.

A vehicle is strongly recommended for exploring the surrounding beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions.

During the rainy season, a vehicle with good ground clearance can be particularly helpful.

The remote setting is part of the charm of Playa Lagarto—but it is important to understand that this is not a typical city or resort environment.

If you appreciate getting away from the crowds and being surrounded by nature, you'll love the location.
