The best thing about this place is it's 1 minute from the beach and it has a pool. Also has a fun bar that has good bands. The room had air conditioning, so I slept like a baby. Friendly staff and a lot of outdoor space. I would recommend this place if you're looking for an inexpensive place near the beach and aren't too fussy about having a luxurious room.

Loved it!!🤍 I stayed at Blue Iguana Hostal in Samara Beach two weeks and I LOVED IT! I was staying at a dorm that I shared with amazing women, and every dorm has its own bathroom. The kitchen is very complete, has everything you’d need. The hostel also has a restaurant, the food is great and also very cheap. The pool area is very nice, you’ll find also some games there to spend the time with friends, and the bar is right there as well (Vanessa is the cutest bartender, super hardworking young lady). They also have a “leave one-take one” book shelf, and you can paint your own sign and hang it somewhere at the hostel, which I believe is pretty cool. The owner and his family recommended places where to go/what to do, they were very kind and made me feel like at home. The rest of the staff was very welcoming as well. Will be visiting Samara next month, and Im definitely staying at Blue Iguana again. Pura vida!

Quaint spot. Breakfast is always ready. Quiet and inexpensive and a small walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes. AC and internet are a must and they provide both. Hopefully .. you’re lucky and actually get to see an iguana walking around the property!
