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!

    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.

    great breakfast (different variations everyday, very creative and the passion fruit jam is exceptional - I had to take a glass with me :)) the owners are super friendly and gave great recommendations about activities and things to do around San Juan del Sur and they gave me a walking stick as a present because I had troubles walking (thank you so much again) very comfortable living room with a pool table and an awesome view of the city well equipped kitchen, and a fridge where you can get some drinks (to pay when you check out)

    We loved everything about it, especially the quick response when it comes to issues we had on the property like no electricity, I texted Ricardo the person in charge he came right away at 5 am to turn on the generator. The view is amazing! Really worth it! Now if you do not like the noise at night I will recommend bringing earplugs. Nature is amazing and san juan del sur is close as well. Thank you Ricardo see you next year! P.s you will need a 4x4 auto 🛺

    Great location right downtown, walkable to everything. Room was decent, with strong AC and the hot water was a surprise! The staff were friendly and the wi-fi worked well. Highly secure with a padlock on the front door most all the time, and someone sitting down there at night. Very convenient to be across from Casa Oro hostal, as it was easy to take their shuttles to the beach for a low price. The hotel was good value for the money overall.

    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!!!

    Probably the most exciting place to stay. They are the closest to the sea in probably the whole nicaragua. The staff did great to arrange a surprise decoration and cake for my wife's birthday and also bumped us up to a larger room. Also great service and room ambience. The most amazing sunset view in SJDS. Nothing beats the high tide when the sea comes right outside your door.

    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.

    Best place we’ve stayed at so far on our month long Nicaraguan adventure! A short walk to the beach and near plenty of restaurants and stores. The property was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The WiFi was strong and made working remotely seamless. There is also a nice kitchen on the property if you prefer to make food.

    We only stayed for 1 night, so for $40 with breakfast included right on the beach not bad at all :) The staff was friendly. The rooms are simple but clean with cute ocean view. The location is great. The shared bathrooms were clean and shower only had cold water. Breakfast was delicious :) The restaurant had nice menu and good food too.

    The staff was excellent. Very gracious and helpful. I even had a small problem with my car and they found me a mechanic who came to the hotel and fixed my car on the spot. The food was great and the views are exquisite. Loved the pool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a hotel off the beaten path!

    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.
