Chale's House Hotel, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Featuring a terrace, Chale's House Hotel is located in San Juan del Sur in the Rivas Region region, a 2-minute walk from San Juan del Sur Beach and 1.8 miles from Nacascolo.

I only stayed one night, but it was great. It is right in the center of town, and also only two blocks from the main beach. I was really impressed with how clean everything was at the hotel. By that, I don't mean I was surprised, it was one of the most clean facilities I had ever seen. They also have a shared full kitchen where I only cooled my water. But I met a young traveler in the kitchen making some crazy fresh caught fish dinner for his girlfriend that looked great (didn't see the girlfriend, I meant the fish). This hotel is highly recommended.

    There's something magical about this little beach community.

    There's something magical about this little beach community. The vibe and energy are great- restaurants and bars with excellent food & drink everywhere. Locals and tourists are friendly and helpful. We know a tiny bit of Espanol but were able to communicate with no issues, and English is spoken more prevalently than I had expected. Can't wait to visit again!!

    It is a busy town, with lots of surfers and retired folks living or visiting. Lots of motorbikes for getting around. Some excellent restaurants along the beach front including Henry's Iguana Bar, and Maggies' Restaurant up the street. Good fish tacos at little kiosk. Great beach walks, lovely sunsets and a few hikes to do. One to the Jesus protecting the bay and the other to the lighthouse on the opposite side of bay. Wear good shoes for those.

    Great little beach town with numerous bars and restaurants with amazing sunset views. Very walkable even in flip flops. Not a bad meal to be found! Lots of fun places to watch American football if you like that.

    everything is walking distance, you can get to the know the town easily just walking around. I liked Vivian restaurant, nice place, clean, friendly staff. the beach was full of trash... plastic trash, cups, bottles, cookie wraps, cans... trash all over the sand and in the ocean and for some reason nobody seems to care. it was very impressive and quite sad. Looking Good Surf House was a great place to stay!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting! pretty calm in the day and evening, not sure about after that! we were there 2 days and for us that was just right. We went to Remanso beach one day and Maderas beach the other. Rented boards at each and tried to surf! Maderas waves were better, at least when we were there in April. We were at the beaches for about 5 hours each day. I didn't love the fact that Remanso had no shade and neither seemed to have much for facilities, except the few bars/restaurants that you kinda had to eat/drink at in order to have some shade or a shower or somewhere to hang out. Not really my favourite scene. SJDS itself was small town seeming in the center and easy to get around walking and lots of food options and the beach in town was great to explore with the kids, swim or watch sunset. It's easy to get in and our of either on bus from Rivas or taxi- 20$ from the Ometepe Ferry for 4 of us. 25$ to the border organized through Casa Oro.

    In the town there are a lot of open sewers and the smell is bad in many places. There is a lot of trash here and there. There is a lot of trash around the beach. The food is ok, the prices are alright. The better prices are away from the beachfront. Tamarindo is a much nicer and cleaner beach. The Nica's need to clean up the trash and the open sewers.

    The view is amazing....the sunset is nice on the beach, but seeing the sun set upon the town is a sight as well. The shared kitchen and common space is very large with brand new appliances so even when all the rooms are full, there is still enough space for everyone. This is a sister house of the largest hostel in town, so its great that you can still get room service from the main kitchen there when you are not in a mood to cook, or have one of their great indian dishes. ( which are the only ones you can get in SJDS)

    Morgan’s Rock sits in a fantastic spot, right on a perfect beach you’ll likely have all for yourself (or almost) with sunsets guaranteed. We found the staff superb! Our bungalow was a piece of tranquil eco luxury in which we felt super comfortable. Food is great, clearly with Nicaraguan character, and at its best. You’ll see monkeys all around. We actually had a sloth sitting in the tree besides our bungalow. A stay is pricey but comes highly recommended if you are looking for tranquility in a high end eco setting.

    The property is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Great place to be a little further from the downtown area of San Juan Del Sur to enjoy a peaceful view. The property is on top of a hill and not every taxi driver can get up it, especially during rainy season. The hotel staff does have recommend taxi drivers and the were very available. We also enjoyed the two dogs and cats around the property. They were all very friendly and we made great friends with Taco the cat.

    Very affordable. Great location, just a short walk on the beach to all of the restaurants and bars. A wonderful little cat lives there and always greets you. The pool was great. Landscaping , trees, and flowers were beautiful. Comfortable hammocks and thatched roof restaurant made for nice working conditions. Decent Wi-Fi also. Very secure. Walls and gates and somebody was always around Eric and Valeria were hard-working, friendly, and helpful.

    I loved the location, the ambiamce of the place . The room was comfy. enough towels were available, and the bed was good enough to get 8 hr sleep. Wifi was strong in my room, I was upstairs with view of San Juan del Sur beach. The breakfast was very tasty fruit, eggs, toast, coffee and gallo pinto as well. Also the owner was very charming cool dude I would definitely return, the beach access was amazing. Right on the playa!

    The best place to stay in San Juan Del Sur by far. The level of cleanliness is the highest you could wish for, it's an incredible job the lady does. And to all the staff who play the part in running a very friendly, helpful, relaxed hotel. All done with effortless professionalism. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else in San Juan before Chales House. Highly recommend.

    This place has a good location, and for the price bracket in San Juan del Sur it is reasonable. Free WiFi worked well Nice cold shower to cool down Use of kitchen etc Overall it is fine for the price as long as you spend most of your time out and about. I wouldn't call it an especially nice place to stay but it's secure and there's a roof over your head.

    Lovely, charming traditional house converted to hotel use. Comfortable communal areas such as upper and lower lounge and pool to relax, air conditioned room, nice breakfast. Parking available, central location seconds from the beach. Fairly good value for money. It was ideal for our large family but looks like it would suit any kind of traveller.

    Cheap and cheerful. We felt very welcome from the hosts. We were upgraded into a bigger room because they had space, that was a really nice touch and much appreciated! It was family home clean but not hotel room clean which we didn't mind.
