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.

Very nice hotel on the beach front with a cute little pool. The pool gets the sun in the morning which is great to laze around and then head to the beach.
Clean and comfortable rooms. We had a room around the pool so had no issue with noise from the street or nearby bars.
Nice daily breakfast.

The water slide, pools. and diving area were incredible. Food was excellent with good options. Breakfast was excellent. Loved the location nestled away in nature. Grounds are stunning. And of course the "standard king room" is a full size suite / 1 bedroom apt!

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. 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.

This is a wonderful getaway directly on the beautiful beach of Playa El Coco. Heidi and her staff were fantastic, making sure we were happy and fed. The food prepared was delicious and there was great variety. We loved ending our trip at this property as we were able to kick back and relax. We even got to see turtles being released at the sanctuary beside the property! Sunsets on the beach in the warm ocean water were unforgettable. Thanks again! ❤️
Hostel Tropical and CoWorking definitely exceeded my expectations! It's located in the central area of San Juan del Sur so you have plenty of restaurants, surfing lessons around the corner, and even a nearby shuttle to go to the beaches. I'm also working remotely and the WiFi worked perfectly in the coworking space! The owners are asking for feedback and continuously improving the place. Highly recommend for short and long term stays!
For our first impression of Nicaragua, Buena Onda was all we could have asked for! The rooms are tasteful and have large, comfy beds, the magnificent view from the common space reaches all over the Bay of San Juan del Sur, every day changing homemade, delicious breakfast is included, there are hammocks to chill in, adorable dogs and cats to chill with, they sell cold beers, sodas, and water, and the host and hostess are just too kind.
great pool to cool down a calm town in the mountains, away from the noisy center . You would see stuff that are quite good for a hotel of this size . like the skate park or the voleibol yard . Good place to sleep . Chairs by the pool and mini ranchs are great for having an excellent afternoon. Food is good and beers have a good price . cocktails are more expensive but are made of real fruit.
This property is amazing. Everything is included in the home. Very spacious and comfortable. The best part of the stay was the housekeeper. Cesar did an absolute amazing job taking care of the place and helping us with getting to know the area of San Juan del Sur. Him and his wife made a fantastic dinner for us one evening and it was amazing. Definitely lucky to have him around!
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! The managers were wonderful and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The food was the best that I have had in Nicaragua. The breakfast was included in the stay. Don’t forget to try the banana pancakes. All of the items on the menu were delicious. We were there for a week and had them all! A big shout out to everyone at Hush Maderas!
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.
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

Nice daily breakfast.
it was simple and comfy, really good for one night and the owner and the staffs were really nice and polite, really friendly the whole visit and is really close to the National Turtle Reserve that we wanted to visit, 8min in car and the beach in front of the hotel is really calm and relaxing
The outside space is great! So many places to sit and relax! 2 min walk to the beach, right in town!. Pancakes were really good at breakfast. Bed was comfy and hot water was super hot! Pool was warm enough and they had lots of pool loungers. The hotel was quiet at night for sleeping.
Wonderful hotel in a beautiful spot away from the bustle of San Juan del Sur. Lovely, comfortable room with the most amazing view. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. Wish I could have stayed longer, I hope to return soon.
very beautiful place, the view and the very pleasant attention, my family really enjoyed the stay in El Jardin the breakfast and the food, everything inside the hotel was a nice experience
TreeCasa is an outstanding hotel! Customer service, facility, amenities, restaurant, and drinks were AMAZING! The rooms are spacious and true to the eco-friendly and environmental model.
Top location with most amazing views on the jungle and bay of San Juan del Sur.
Best vegan food we’ve had in Nicaragua.
