    The food was very well prepared, nice presentation and tasty. The noise level was very loud due to a party of about 15 men celebrating something. They were standing up and giving speeches, drinking and loudly laughing-very disturbing for an otherwise quiet restaurant with lovely ambience.

    Menu options and service were excellent. We were a party of 3 for dinner. We ordered appetizers and entrees. Our server (Delita … my apologies on the spelling) was very knowledgeable of menu options and assisted us with our choices and contributed to us having an enjoyable dining experience. The skirt steak was absolutely the best that I’ve ever had. Extremely flavorful and tender. We will revisit before our stay is over.

    Had a wonderful dinner that included black bean meatballs as an appetizer. Vegetable mofongo & garlic shrimp mofongo with a side of sweet plantains. Our server, Dalilah, was very responsive & attentive to our needs. This is the only place on the property that you can get authentic Caribbean food. Would definitely go back.

    Iguanas is a great choice for everyone, including locals and visitors not staying at Wyndham Rio Mar. It’s mid-range between Rio Mar’s informal Roots Coastal Kitchen and the more formal Palio restaurant. The food is high quality, prepared with culinary skill and ingredients that taste fresh. The view over the resort grounds adds nicely to the experience at Iguanas.

    Menu prices differed from what I was charged. Cocktails were expensive and it seemed like it was mostly juice. Plantains served with entree were too hard to eat. Wouldn’t go back. I’m sure there are other better options on the resort.

    The service was excellent and the meals were delicious. it is recommended that you make reservations in advance. The mofongo with garlic shrimp was very tasty. The salmon with mofongo is also not bad. My kid ate chicken tender with rice and beans. As an appetizer, we choose fried cheese. The wine and the mojito were exquisite. Angel was the waiter that served us. Recommended.
