The Cueva (as your apartment is called) is one of the 9 apartments that is part of "Cabañas Lobotepe", on a lush hill located 150 meters from the beach of San Juan del Sur and 350 meters from the center of town. You will have a wide view of the bay and/or the hills. In the garden, between the (fruit) trees and bougainvilleas, are 2 communal terraces with a BBQ facility. The cabins/apartments were built between 2002 and 2012 by Jan-Luc and his local crew. Regular upgrades (new bathrooms, bigger wooden decks, new roofs and remodeling of the cabins ) have been done since, as Fernando, the caretaker since 2013, is a skilled and experienced carpenter. All cabins and apartments have a fully equipped kitchen, full bath and a spacious private deck or patio complete with hammocks. They all have views of the bay and/or the lush garden. There is private parking, fast wifi (50-90mbps) and work space. Available and suitable for both shorter and longer stays, see lobotepe dot com . The caretakers (Fernando and his wife Rebeca) receive the guests when Jan-Luc, the owner, is not there. Fernando also takes care of the garden and maintenance of the cabins/apartments, Rebeca coordinates the cleaning. During the night, either Dennis or Miguel are present to open/close the gate or help you out if there is an issue in the apartment. You can find them at the top of the parking area.

Jan-Luc is a Dutchman who lives in Nicaragua since 1998. He lives, together with his partner Lies, big part of the year on site and receives you with a big smile. He is always open for a nice chat, a cold beer and both Jan-Luc and Lies are full of knowledge about Nicaragua. "The first house built on the property, in 2002, was intended as a weekend home. To cover the running costs (which I had greatly underestimated), the idea came up to build 2 cabins and rent them out. And then I could not stop building and 6 more have been added ". "We enjoy getting to know people who travel or choose to live in another country. That is why I also rent out the cabins/apartments for the long term. I like socializing, but I also respect the privacy and independence of my guests. "We love Caribbean music and salsa the most. Sometimes we organize a Sunday afternoon tropical dance party for my friends and guests." “Although I regularly travel to the Netherlands, I have daily contact with my caretakers and I am always online to answer questions from my guests”.
