At Blue Iguana, travelers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the very walkable location near the beach and restaurants, but note basic, weathered facilities with cold-water showers, small rooms, and significant noise from music and other guests.

The bed was very comfortable and the A/C was great! It was convenient to get to the beach (1 block away) and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, they were able to book us a shuttle to the Liberia airport, etc. The room itself was small and unpleasant and I was grateful my sister had booked a nearby place that was shady and pleasant for lounging. The bathroom seemed to have a leak and therefore the bathroom floor was sopping wet.

Okay for the younger crowd. Room was double the price because holiday week - $120 - called ‘comfort’ room - no hot water, toilet kind of working, paper thin walls. We used to pay $20 for these rooms. Nice staff and clean enough. Beach nearby where there is a lot of action.

It's near the beach, but not on it and a short walk to downtown. With a little work it could be a nice place. Something that seems low rent is when there is no cover on the light fixture, only a bare light bulb on the ceiling. No hot water or A/C, but the room was well designed for flow through ventilation and the fan was adequate for cooling. The toilet leaked around the base which was a bit nasty when you think about it. Small rooms which is fine for one person, but would be crowded for two. All that said, I would have stayed a second night, but got a really good deal at another, much nicer hotel.
