Would highly recommend staying here- our room was huge and very comfortable. The amenities were all great, and everything was kept very clean. The large porch was a lovely place to relax. The ladies working there were very lovely and cooked delicious breakfasts. Very good value for money

Loved my stay in this super chill hostel right on the beach! Really great super chill vibe, awesome water if you like playing in the waves or want to surf right off the shore in front of the hostel (it's a sandy bottom, so pretty safe in the water there even though there are waves). Had a private room which was spacious, clean, comfy, well-maintained, & had a pretty view. Big menu for food & drinks right at their beachfront bar - although it's an easy place to just hang out all day & keep ordering, so beware the spend can add up!

5 minutes from the beach. Tucked away and very quiet at night . Unlike the beach front hostels where the music plays all night and sleep is impossible.

Slightly off the main area in the quieter / residential part of town though, but I appreciated the calmness of the area, the buildings opposite are nice and colourful. I got the private room which has a nice communal sitting area on the second floor as well. Hosts were helpful in answering my queries and assisting to book activities. Breakfast was good with variety. Clean room and sheets, ac is strong given the heat, it was a good stay!

Tapihouse is an exceptional place to stay. Its location, comfort, kitchen equipment, everything is great. but the best is the kind and helpful staff Katy and Enrique. We stayed here twice during our two months in Nicaragua. When we came back the second time, we were welcomed like family. We had a deluxe room with the biggest and most comfortable bed in our life. we recommend it to everyone!

Excellent atmosphere, in the nice shared kitchen you can cook with people from all over the world! The common areas and dormitory mattresses are comfortable. The breakfasts are divine and in the quiet bar under the trees you can drink delicious cocktails.

Simply paradise! It’s away from the villages, it’s dark so you can see the stars, you have the whole beach to yourself, and so many hammocks to relax in. And they pick you up with a horse and carriage, that is an experience in itself!!! Wonderful!! Ps, bring snacks of you need snacks. And donate to the homeless dogs.
