Hotel History

Villa Iguana Hotel in Bayahibe opened in the year 2000, construction commenced the year before and the hotel has been running successfully for 15 years ever since. The hotel stood the time of 4 owners so far. The first being a German couple who also did the construction - Werner and Martina. After that Claus Muller bought the guesthouse and not long after sold it to an Italian family until Alessandro and Kirsten bought it in 2015. Alessandro and Kirsten have plenty of passion and energy to make Villa Iguana Hotel the best it can be.

In August 2016 all the rooms were renovated, air conditioning was installed in all the rooms and all guests now have access to the rooftop pool and bar area.

Security

Zion is from Saona Island, Kirsten rescued her in 2011 and they have been inseparable ever since. Zion is a great addition to the team at Hotel Villa Iguana as she is always alert and very friendly will all the guests. She might follow you to the beach but don't worry, she knows her way around. If Zion is not at the hotel, she is having fun on the beach.
