“A Lovely Place to Stay”

Reviewed July 29, 2008

I loved this hotel. Our room was beautifully decorated, it was like staying in a really nice guest room in someones home. Not hotel -like at all. The property is very serene, and it being an adult only property was a huge plus. I would recommend the Emerald Iguana without reservation and will stay again.

We staying at the Emerald Igunua over the 4th of July long weekend, and we were so happy we did. It is the perfect place to stay- quiet, relaxing, clean, and walking distance (about 6 blocks) to the main streets of Ojai.

I was rather hestiant re: the review pertaining to racism is alive at the Emerald Iguana, but decided to confirm my reservations when I read other positive reviews and management's "side" of the ordeal. My husband and I fell in love with Ojai when we decidied to drive to Ojai to look at wedding bands at the Pink Crow. We... More

“Racism is Alive and Well at Emerald Iguana!”

Reviewed March 9, 2008

My then fiance, now husband, and I searched for the perfect property to host our 3-day, wedding weekend celebration for our families and friends. It wasn't until we stumbled upon this aesthetically gorgeous hotel, that everything else fell into place. We planned our entire theme for the wedding around this seemingly enchanting getaway. We ended up renting the ENTIRE property... More

This is quite unfortunate that this couple would use such a word as "Racism". This is far from the nature of any of the staff/owners of the Emerald. We had several difficult issues with these guests, none of it had to do with "Racism". They did not provide valid forms of payment at check-in, they were very loud and disturbed... More

“Peaceful, Perfect”

Reviewed November 24, 2007

Tucked under towering trees at base of the foothills, this inn is absolutely delightful. We stayed for days, and though fully booked on a holiday weekend, it was quiet both day and night. Our unit has a full kitchen in which cooking Thanksgiving dinner was as easy as my own kitchen. Great access to activities -- within 10 minute walk... More

“Great Little Inn”

Reviewed August 18, 2007

We had a great girls getaway. The cottages are very comfortable and nicely decorated. We stayed in the Leaf cottage, which was away from the pool and secluded a bit. It had a nice living room and kitchen with all the supplies you need for staying around the place. The bedroom had 2 queen beds and a small bathroom. The... More

Also, we have expanded our on-site staff hours to insure excellent guest service... More

“Not a relaxing visit”

Reviewed July 20, 2007

We were hoping for a romantic get away to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and were very disappointed !!! We were promised a room with a king size bed and ended up with a queen size bed that wasn't so comfortable. There were kids in the room above us and they kept jumping up and down early in the morning.... More

We, at the Emerald Iguana, are certain the writer of this review is mistaken as to where he stayed, as the comments within this reveiw do not describe our property. The Emerald Iguana is an adults-only location, our breakfast is served outdoors, poolside (or can be delivered to your room) and our swimming pool is heated. Additionally, we are located... More

“Trouble in paradise”

Reviewed June 6, 2007

It is heartbreaking to say anything negative about this property. It has a gorgeous setting; it's secluded; the landscaping is beautiful and the bungalows are imaginatively designed. The place can easily feel like a second home. But the experience of staying there can be marred if other guests decide to party or make a lot of noise, which happened during... More

We heard, and understood, the complaints received by our valued guests who experienced a few unfortunate weekends where larger groups were in-house and disrupted the over-all tranquility of our property. In response, we have initiated a strict group-booking policy that requires groups to do a full property buy-out if they wish to rent more than a few rooms for their... More
