We had dinner there and it was absolutely delicious. Beautifully maintained surroundings. Howler Monkey's can be heard off in the distance. The wonderful pool. The view! And the nice breeze at night. Spectacular place. And the staff were absolutely delightful! Darling people!

The location is excellent.
Nice to be out if town, with some fresh mountain breeze.
The villa we were in had a nicely finished bathroom (white, so it was nice & bright), and a comfy bed.
Great pool to cool off in.

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 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.
I recommend San Juan del Sur, Chale's House Hotel Accommodation in Nicaragua.
What a great comfortable stay with great style and environment.
The room was fantastic with the added bonus of the shared lounge and a terrace.
The property is located 650 feet from San Juan del Sur Beach easy access to all the fun like hiking, windsurfing and snorkelling.
Great location with good free wifi.
A favourite part of San Juan del Sur for all.
great pool to cool down a calm town in the mountains, away from the noisy center . You would see stuff that are quite good for a hotel of this size . like the skate park or the voleibol yard . Good place to sleep . Chairs by the pool and mini ranchs are great for having an excellent afternoon. Food is good and beers have a good price . cocktails are more expensive but are made of real fruit.
The location of this property is awesome. Right on the beach and within easy walking distance to the town proper. The pool is amazing and the staff were super friendly and very helpful when you could find them. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom suited our needs. For a cheap place(for San Juan) it is well worth the money. There were a lot of comfy seating areas to enjoy the view.
We kept coming back here as we passed through San Juan del Sur. Very nice and clean space with a big breakfast. I recommend you ask for the upstairs room if you go private as they are super airy and you get lots of privacy with a hammock. They also let us leave some stuff there in between our visits which eased our load a lot. ALSO, it's right next to the best comedor I've been to!!!
This is a great place to hang out with the family for a few days. Our room was huge with everything you need including a big comfy king size bed. The pool area is excellent and the place is very well maintained and beautifully planted. The food is amongst the best we tasted in Nicaragua and the waiting staff in the restaurant were also incredibly friendly and attentive.
Breakfast was amazing as all the food was. The common area of the pool and restaurant to hang out in was fantastic. Meet some great travellers. No Children until 15 allowed and we loved that. There is a a shuttle a few times a day into San Juan Del Sur that was handy for barring into twin. Great walking path down to the local and fantastic Playa Maderas.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming. They were also very helpful recommending things to do around San Juan.
The food was a massive surprise (just amazing! better than some of the restaurants we tried in the area)
A great place to explore San Juan del sur and the surrounding areas from!
We had an amazing stay here. The bed is literally so comfortable - by far the best place we have stayed in during our travels through Nicaragua. Host was amazing - it is also very well located - close to the town to make it easy to get around, but extremely quiet at night.
Carmine and his staff were very friendly and accomodating. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good, especially the scrambled eggs with cheese and ham. It's right on the beach and within a short walking distance to the center of San Juan Del Sur.
Fantastic hostel in SJDS. Rafa is an amazing host. He is super friendly and helpful. And he makes the best breakfast in Nicaragua. Rooms are clean, AC works well and the beds are very comfortable. I highly recommend Tapihouse for your stay!
Pool is amazing and great fun. The food was also very good. I expected a nice pool, the rooms and overall hotel was nicer than I expected. We had a great experience and I would recommend to stay here.
Owners are amazingly nice and helpful, the kitchen is well equipped, bedroom is modern and comfy, the hotel is so close to the beach, i liked the rooftop hammock space, everything was perfect !
I loved my stay here. I was travelling by myself and looking for a quiet place to relax. Heidi and the staff were amazing, the hotel and beach were beautiful and I would return in a heartbeat.
The staff are straight up lovely, they always had a smile on their face and were happy to help. The hotel itself is largely great too and it's on the beach, lovely. Breakfast = banging.
Exceptional, perfect holiday property right on the beach! Can’t recommend highly enough! Heidi and her staff are amazing. Great food, great atmosphere, secure and beautiful.
