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!

Bathroom was tiny. Very tiny. No hot water which is to be expected here. Hotel was very loud with other guests and security was lacking.
Good for a quick bed on your travels.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this place.
Room is dark, dingy and ugly.
Mattress is thin, TERRIBLE, springy thing and doesn’t even fit the bed properly. You can see the bed boards. For the price, not worth it.
No blankets provided, just a sheet. No towels in room and no TV either (contrary to room details on **********).
Cleanliness is poor, wall fan rusty.
The night we spent here there was a MASSIVE party in the pool area, breaking every COVID rule in place. Looked more like a sleazy high-school prom after party. The teens then spent the next hour just walking up and down the corridor of rooms making all sorts of noise.
Not the Sámara experience I was expecting.
