Casa Iguana Probably Not Into "Paris and Her Ilk"
With all these overwater bungalows on the brain, we realized there's another sort of on-the-water hotel. It may not sit on stilts just feet above the water, but Casa Iguana looks out over the Caribbean from it's perch on Little Corn Island, in Nicaragua. High on a cliff, it's a only a few steep steps down from Casa Iguana to the sandy and often deserted beach below.
We stayed at Casa Iguana awhile back, and though it's under new ownership, much remains the same. As the hotel likes to brag, the island offers:
No cars... No phones... No worries... No Jet Skis... No movie stars... No cocktail umbrellas.
And no sky-high prices, we might add. The hotel has 12 cabanas, one of which is enormous and sports its own solar water heater, outdoor shower and huge veranda. Rates start at just $25 a night for a basic cabana like the one pictured above; the grand cabana usually goes for $80. Not bad for a one-minute walk to the beach.
