The location, views, and rooftop bar is why I rated this place a 3 star as opposed to a 1 star. The balcony is pretty much all this place has going for it. They do have decent happy hour prices but I guess it makes sense since the music was horrible. You'd really have to be super intoxicated in order... More

We went to Iguana three times while in SJDS, never ate here but had a fantastic couple of nights out. Monday-Thursday ladies drink free 7ish until midnight and the atmosphere/music etc is really fun! Always a lot of backpackers and travellers looking to have a good time. Fantastic to sit on the beach and have a rum during the day... More

I went on two different occasions and found the service to be quite poor for all the rave reviews that other people have posted. It is a okay beach bar at least the drinks were cold.

What a super fun place to spend a Saturday night in SJDS! We arrived in town, stopped in for ceviche and a beer. Very good, and quick service. We left and came back for dinner, and a little bit of partying. The sunsets are amazing here. The food was extremely good. I had garlic lobster. Loved it, and very reasonably... More

I had the Fish and French Fries yesterday and they were excellent. Today, we went back to Henry's because my husband loved their Chicken Fingers. My friends and my husband had them. Excellent!!! I had their Chicken Wings. Also very good. Compared to the other restaurants, their prices were more reasonable.

The positives: the 30 cordoba beer and the view The negatives : the food isn't very good; I tried the fish and chips but the fish wasn't very good; the service isn't very good either. I had to wait quite a while to get a beer; also they include a tax or a tip then the waiter writes on the... More

Ladies drink free night sounds too good to be true & it is. First off the bartenders are rude, they ignore you & roll their eyes at you when you ask for a drink. Second, only because I am a bar manager & I can understand cost issues, the vodka is watered down. If you run these kinda promotions you... More

This place is like most on the beach.Good views and decent drink prices. I had fish that wasnt bad and the tacos were also pretty good. If you want american burgers and such they always had a special for that and the prices were cheap.

Iguana bar advertises ladies's night. What the ad does not mention is you are limited to 3 drinks and you have to bring your cup back to the bar with you. The first night we went the bartenders were terribly rude. They criticized my friends, told us we drank too fast, and ignored us whenever possible. We opted to give... More
