About this property

Welcome to Hotel La Iguana Vallarta LGBTQ+ - Adults Only

Located in the vibrant Zona Romántica neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta, Hotel La Iguana Vallarta LGBTQ+ - Adults Only offers a welcoming environment specifically catering to LGBTQ+ travelers. This adults-only hotel sits on Lázaro Cárdenas street, placing guests within walking distance of hip bars, galleries, and a variety of international restaurants, as well as the lively pier on Los Muertos Beach.

The property features a straightforward, somewhat rustic style with spacious suites that include small kitchens, living, and dining areas, according to guest feedback. A rooftop pool provides a relaxing spot to unwind after exploring. While some reviews mention firmness in mattresses and occasional maintenance issues such as noisy air conditioning and inconsistent hot water, the overall accommodations are clean and functional.

As expected in an entertainment district, noise levels can be noticeable late into the night, particularly due to nearby bars and clubs, so light sleepers might require extra consideration. The hotel’s close proximity to both the beach and local venues makes it a practical base for visitors eager to experience Puerto Vallarta’s nightlife and cultural attractions.

Guests appreciate the hotel's centrality and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, with many praising the staff’s helpfulness and the convenience of walking to the Malecon, Los Muertos Beach, and other notable spots. The hotel welcomes an adult crowd looking for an accessible location in the heart of one of Puerto Vallarta’s most dynamic areas.

Great apartment hotel in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. Its apartments are spacious and well equipped as well as nicely furnished.

A great hotel with suites. Beds were a little firm but everything else was pretty good. Only thing is it's in the bar zone so can be noisy until early morning.

Location was great and the staff was nice. I did not mind the noise since I go to the bars until 2 am at which time noise has come down. The room was spacious with small kitchen , living room n dinning room area n clean with a balcony overlooking the lazero Cardenas street. My only concern was that the shower water was not warm so it was unpleasant to take a shower. I suggest strongly that the hotel should provide a kettle for each kitchen.

We came for the location, and were pleasantly surprised by the classic, traditional decor. Quite a charming suite! It is more on the rustic side, but if we wanted the boring hotel, we would have gone there. Perfect mattress! There WILL be some noise after midnight. This is an entertainment district, but we slept beautifully with the $3.23 set of ear plus from Amazon. Don't go to Zona Romantica without them ;-) Gilberto, Roberto, and Lupita were perfect hosts! Just a few blocks from the beach, and only 300 m from The Fit Club, a very clean, well equipped gym we joined for only 499 Pesos each for the week. In fact, we walked to everywhere we wanted to go on this last trip. Oh, and the pool on the top deck is a great place to chill out and relax. We shall greatly look forward to returning!

These rooms can be a bit noisey at night, but I sleep through anything. Would not recommend if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise location is absolutely fantastic. The rooms were in a bit of disrepair. Noisey rattling air conditioner and poorly maintained electrical. The shower also stank if you didn’t cover the waste pipe with the included cover. Bed is big and spacious wide, but oddly short. The mattress was a little too firm for my liking. The rooftop area was a great addition and nice sanctuary to chill.

This is a very nice place. Well appointed and we'll looked after. The rooms on the street side can be noisy but that's my only complaint. Would definitely stay there again.

The Hotel is as centrally located as it gets. Literally next to all the bars. Don’t let the windowless blue metal doors that look like a prison fool you. The rooms are better than expected. Rooftop Pool is small but nice. Great value. Guests are an older crowd. Predominantly gay men. Here’s the kicker- it shares a wall with Wet Dreams, which is a disreputable strip joint. The music vibrates through the walls till 2am depending on your location in the hotel. Here is something weird, there is no reception or front desk till 3pm. I mean NOONE. the front office is locked till then. That goes for check in and check out. I’ve never seen a hotel like this. Thy require a 500peso ($40usd) cash deposit which isn’t mentioned online. Since the office is closed and Check out is noon, you have to track down the house keeper to check out and get your money back. They will knock on your door at noon to make sure you check out. Overall it’s a great value but the reception thing is sketchy.
