With no hot water, little guidance from the Property Manager, hidden transportation costs, and long distance into town, I would say the experience was Fair to Average at best. The house itself is approx 4 to 5 miles from town, while this may mean little to most of us, by Belizian terms, this is "very far". Your only mode of transportation is a golf cart, which you have to pay a pretty penny for, or water taxi, which is about $40 one-way with a guy who may or may not be available. Furthermore, the roads back are dark, no lighting and not paved, so make sure if you choose the golf cart route (which is much cheaper), you're with other people as the golf carts themselves aren't 100% reliable as we found out on particular evening.
Also, while the house is beautiful, there is little to no hot water. When we reported it to the property manager and care taker, the solution was to take a shower one at a time.
Furthermore, the property manager for this place is responsive if you send her an email, however her messages are brief and curt, so you're constantly left asking more questions. A typical conversation would be
Me: "so how do we get, to the house from the airport?"
PM: " golf cart or water taxi"
Me: " do you have a recommendation, any costs?"
PM: "call Armando or Chris, they will take care of you"
Me: "do you have a recommendation, any costs?, how long does each take"
PM: "we will be available to help you, call us anytime"
on and on and on.....
In short, we had a small group of ladies and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously because the island is beautiful and the people are very helpful. But at the Iguana House, you're sort of left figuring things out on your own because the location is so remote and far removed. The only saving grace was having Sam, the care taker, come help us anytime we ran into issues.
