Hostal Iguana Verde — Hotel in Veraguas

I stayed here for six nights I was the only one there all six nights I think people only come when the turtles are laying their eggs. The couple who run it are fantastic people! I don't speak much spanish but we managed anyways, Anna's husband gave me a tour twice around the area a beach further up and some back roads around the area where he raises cattle. The town is really small and the beach is only good for swimming at low tide but the beauty of this seclude beach really can't be beat I was the only one on this beach for hours!||If you want to see panama and not a bunch of other backpackers talking the same stuff and the same places like some big tour group then head here. A place to mingle with the locals and try to pick up some spanish. As far as the hostel itself it's a two bedroom house basic but nice and clean with a well stocked kitchen, lots of pots and pans, in her yard she is raising a bunch of chickens, ducks and turkeys oh and some geese. Fun to watch while swinging in the hammock don't worry the yard is kept clean and as the name suggests there are iguanas around...

Had a lovely one night stay here with our 7 and 9 year old children. Setting is in the middle of a small village a short walk away from a pristine, quiet, uninhabited sandy beach. We enjoyed swimming, beach walks, birdwatching and looking for iguanas. The owners are involved in a local sea turtle rescue hatchery. We accompanied them on a turtle release early in the morning, after which they treated us to a delicious breakfast. We rented a car to get here from Panama City and the drive was easy. We came across other travelers that were doing fine getting around using the Panama bus system. Several laid back restaurants a bit further down the road. I highly recommend...

We had a great time here with Anna and Dario. We went to the beach 3 times to release over 100 baby turtles to the sea. This season alone this small project has released approx 28000 baby turtles. There are 3 room at Iguana Verde - all have en suite bathroom with cold water showers. Two have A\C with one bedroom and 3 beds, a double and 2 singles. The other building is a 2 bed bungalow with kitchen and en suite but no A\C.|In the garden are hens, cockerel and a turkey so fresh eggs for breakfast. We also saw a humming bird. We were also supplied with fresh oranges and coconuts from the garden. We cannot recommend them too much. |Only contact by phone in...
