The Emerald Iguana Inn

The door to our room was next to the pool and I know there were others that surrounded that central focus as well. I think there might have been a couple of other rooms a bit removed. In any case it didn’t seem to matter because this isn’t the kind of place where you’re going to find a lot of kids frolicking in the pool. It’s pretty much a couples getaway oasis located at the end of a residential street just a few blocks away from the main road in town. The room had sort of a mission style feel with a cute little patio area. The property is extremely well tended to but they should take care of spider webs on the patio umbrellas.

Just checked out. We mentioned the fireplace in our room was not working as well as the DVD player. (We had alerted them to the fireplace the evening before and they said they would check and we never hear back). The woman at the front desk was completely unapologetic and told us we should have 'connected the hdmi cable and next time let us know before 3pm about the fireplace." We didn't even check in before 3! She essentially said 'go F yourself' with a smile on her face. Left us with a really bad taste. It's too bad how an interaction like that can ruin the whole experience.

This was our second stay at the Emerald, and it didn't disappoint. This time we stayed in the Leaf Suite and we liked it better. The staff is always so cheerful, attentive and helpful. We love how quaint the inn is, you feel like you're staying in a friend's guest house. The location of the Emerald is fantastic, it's 2 minute drive to the main drag, or only an easy 15 minute walk.

We came to Ojai for a Belinda Carlisle concert. We wanted to stay somewhere that was within walking distance and close enough to restaurants. This resort is so nice and quiet, beautifully decorated, and has wonderful, helpful staff. I would recommend this resort to any couple, who would love a nice getaway in a beautiful location.

Wow! What a great place. We stayed in the Cricket King Suite and it did not disappoint. What an amazing room (2-stories!) The property location is great and the grounds were well kept. We ordered the continental breakfast for two and it was perfect. They have a very nice pool and the staff was friendly. My only problem was mosquitos which has nothing to do with the property itself and, in fact, the front office kindly gave us some bug repellent.

The Emerald Iguana in is a lovely little oasis in Ojai, sits in a quiet residential neighborhood just blocks from downtown. The rooms are so lovely, you feel like you're staying in someone's guest cottage. The setting is so picturesque and serene.
