Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya boasts a pool area that many guests appreciate for its warmth, spaciousness and pleasant atmosphere. Multiple reviewers highlighted the ample lounge chairs and tables, making it a comfortable spot to relax and watch the kids swim. The pool received nods for its cleanliness and was especially favored for its beautiful setting and the lovely atmosphere it helps to create.
A standout feature is the adults-only 'Jacuzzi' area, though some reported it to be cold or not operational. The pool maintained a generally warm temperature, although a few guests mentioned that the water was sometimes a bit cold and expressed a desire for more lighting.
Despite praise, there were notable criticisms regarding maintenance. Several reviews pointed out that the pool area, while spacious and well-cared for, could use renovations. Issues such as missing tiles, a poorly lit night light and an overall sense of disrepair were mentioned. Additionally, some guests found the pool to be dirty at times with water that smelled bad near the fish and required more frequent cleaning.
The pool's location adds to its appeal with a beautiful view and proximity to the beach just a short walk away. The atmosphere around the pool, combined with an equipped kitchen in some rooms, often added convenience and enjoyment to guests' stays. However, the hotel’s facilities, though complimented for their green areas, were noted to be on the older side.
In summary, while the pool at Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya is generally enjoyed for its warmth, size and surrounding ambiance, there is a consistent call for better maintenance and more reliable cleanliness to enhance the overall experience.
