Selina Maderas, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Located a short walk from the famous surf spot Maderas Beach, Selina Maderas offers accommodation a 30-minute drive from the lively town of San Juan del Sur.

The staff was very friendly, helpful and responsive, especially when we needed to organize a taxi arriving late at night. They also made it possible for us to check in late. The breakfast was also good and you could choose from several options. The pool area is big and looks nice. Room and bathroom were clean. Internet was very fast and easy to access.

Rositas Hotel, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Rositas Hotel is located 100 metres from San Juan del Sur Beach and 150 metres from the local market. It features free Wi-Fi throughout and a furnished terrace.

Stayed at Rositas for 3 nights as a group of three. PROS * Value - Although I wouldn’t call this cheap (it cost 173USD for three nights for three people in a private room with bathroom, air con etc) it was a lot cheaper than it’s competitors. * Location - it’s only a block from the beach and the action * Air conditioning - did work although did break down the second night. They fixed this. * Hot water - like the air conditioning did work but broke down on the second night. They did fix this * Communal kitchen - combined with a fridge in our room this allowed us to self cater * Staff were friendly as as mentioned above did deal with issues in a prompt manner. Security - Was good. Deadlocks on doors and bolts on windows. Has someone on the entrance 24/7.

    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 room was spotless clean. The hotel is beautiful and the terrace has a great vibe. The rooms in the second floor with the terrace looked great and worth the value in comparison with my room (see other comment). German and the other man in the reception were awesome and very attentive contrary to the first impression with the lady that attended me during check-in. The breakfast was great too. I would recommend this place but be aware about the single room

    Very cool hotel, unlike any I have been too. They have a skateboard park, waterslide, waterpark, rock climbing wall and a bunch of other activities all blended into the resort. It was a pretty unique experience and not to mention the staff were super friendly and attentive, the landscaping was kept up, food was great and well priced, especially the Pizza, best pizza I have had in Latin America. Overall great stay and I recommend it to everyone!

    I loved the remote location from the San Juan del Sur Bay crowd. I also loved the super friendly and super nice staff. I loved it's a beautiful place right on the water. It's located only 3 minutes from a beach where you can see lot of turtles laying eggs. The 15 minutes dirt road to get there is well maintained. I loved you can see the sunset in front of you.

    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.

    This location was great if you want to escape the craziness of San Juan Del Sur. There's a nice beach right beside the property which is great if you're learning to surf. The beach is quiet and chilled. Faith and James were lovely hosts. Really nice people and lovely to talk to. It was really quiet too which is what we were looking for.

    To avoid confusion just consider this as a hostel and not a hotel. If i considered this as a hotel its not very good... but as a hostel i like it. I stayed 2 nights and this as a good value for the area. The location is perfect and it includes a very good breakfast. The room was large but very basic. The staff were amazing... very nice

    The rooms were cleaned daily and they were comfortable. If you’re lucky you get a twin bed for the price of a single bed in the dorms. The location is right on the beach with many restaurants, bars, and clubs around.
