About

Iguana is the best place to be to go surfing being very close to the beach or have an epic night of beers with people from all around the world. Best location with direct access to both the town and beach but far enough from the craziness for a good sleep.

We offer comfortable rooms from cheap dorms to private, perfect for any budget. All rooms have private bathroom, hot water, excellent wifi and air conditioning. BREAKFAST IS INCLUDED!

Chill in the hammocks in our spacious balconies with rio views. Nice lounge, beer pong table.
Our social area closes at midnight if your plan is a quiet one.


We speak English, Spanish

maybe nice location, but otherwise not worth your money. Very dirty. They wouldn't let me check in during check in hours and said my bed was sold but I can have the same bed for three times the price now. Volunteers were friendly and helpful but the person running this hostel is a crazy person who hung up on the phone and started to pathetically gaslight and threaten me on whatsapp. Wouldn't go there if I were you.

Just run. This is the dirtiest hostel I’ve ever been in. Everything smelled bad, the kitchen and the toilets were disgusting, you could hear all the noise in the street every night, the AC in my room was barely breething. The light in my room and in the bathroom was allways flickering. But the smell was the worst. I could not eat breakfast there allthough it was free - the first day I’ve seen a girl pulling out a hair from the coffee and that was enough. They have zero activities for guests.

Iguana Beach tiene el ambiente que uno quiere encontrar siempre en un hostal, tiene una gran energía, se conocen personas todo el tiempo, todos los días hay algo para hacer y está bien ocupado. Además, el staff es lo máximo y Luis siempre está pendiente para hacer la estadía más cómoda para uno, es un gran host que ayuda con todo lo que necesites.
