    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.

    Very friendly host, with good English. Good breakfast, either Nicaraguan standard or a waffle. Clean nice room, pretty small but spacey enough for me. Enough of drawers. Recently renovated surprisingly large shower, with nice tiles but only cold water, which though seems to be the case in most places. I really liked it and I’m likely to go back if I ever need to spend overnight at San Juan del Sur downtown again.

    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 place has a good location, and for the price bracket in San Juan del Sur it is reasonable. Free WiFi worked well Nice cold shower to cool down Use of kitchen etc Overall it is fine for the price as long as you spend most of your time out and about. I wouldn't call it an especially nice place to stay but it's secure and there's a roof over your head.

    The place itself is not nice at all, not very charming or anything, but has the necessary things (beds, bathrooms, mirror, fan) and is what you can expect for the price. It does the trick for a cheap place to stay. No AC, we didnt encounter much in Nicaragua, but the fan above the bed was very powerful and kept us cool throughout the night which was great.

    This is one of the only accommodations on this section of beach, and the location and views are outstanding. The access to the town is hard to beat, and the room is right on the beach. The food at the restaurant is great value, including fresh sushi and other options, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

    This place is a jewel. It's not a classical hotel with the normal staff. It was clearly built originally as a private home, and that's what it feels like. The views are fantastic, it's quiet and peaceful but only 5 minutes from the beach and the restaurants and shops. Best place I've stayed at in a long time.
