Situated 300 metres from San Juan del Sur Beach, 2.8 km from Nacascolo and 3.8 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua, Tapihouse San Juan Del Sur features accommodation located in San Juan del Sur. With a terrace, the 3-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

I have no bad thing to say about this hostel. Yes it could look like a normal private room hostel, but the way we felt staying at Rafa’s hostel was so amazing, that we came back two more times. Everything was great, even if there was a minor inconvenience, Rafa helped us in seconds. So this was obviously our favorite hostel ever. Also the rooms are nice, AC is great, the breakfast is really yummy (nica breakfast), and overall the vibe is very chill and calm. Thank you Rafa!

Four Trees is located on a hilltop with million-dollar views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Our room was spacious and comfy. The communal kitchen is well-appointed. The wifi coverage is excellent. Poppy the dog and Blimp the cat are adorable ambassadors. Louis, Nick, and the team are friendly and extremely responsive. This is a special place to return to after a day of adventure in San Juan. It is also an incredible value.

    The location was great and within walking distance to everything you needed but in a quiet area of San Juan. It was kept clean along with the bathrooms. It's not really a hostel but more of a guesthouse.
