    Beautiful location, nice restaurant, really high price; one odd thing was the bread before dinner was actually warmed up hot dog buns- so strange with a $200 meal; salmon was good and the portions were generous

    Beautiful views of El Yunque and the resort property/golf course. The food was incredible- good sized portion, tasted delicious and had a lovely presentation. Staff was knowledgeable on food allergies/sensitivities. Gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. We ate here twice during our stay!

    You can't beat Iguanas for upscale Puerto Rican cuisine. From the appetizers (hello Iguanas sampler), mains (loved the salmon), to dessert -- all good. And a beautiful space. I'll be going back.

    Please follow the views that say this place is not good. I thought I would try it but the food was awful. We got the sampler which was good but the prosciutto pork belly was so fatty you couldnt even it it. Literally a slab of fat and the chicken with rice was sooooo dry. We were not impressed by anything and it wasnt Cheap. Roots coastal blows this place away.

    The food was bland and over cooked. Not worth the price. The lobster was so dissapointing - dry and chewy. Very sad. The food elsewhere on the resort was very good. This place did not meet our expectations whatsoever.
