    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 rooms had AC, own bathroom, the bed was comfy and it came with breakfast. The staff were super nice and helpful. San Juan Del Sur is a small town so it’s easy to walk anywhere you want to go unless you want to go to the beaches, then I highly recommend renting a scooter or a mode of transportation that works for you. The town offers shuttles to and from multiple beach locations but then you will be a part of the herd. If that’s your thing cool if not, and you want to explore on your own be sure to get your own transportation.

    Staff were absolutely tremendous. Just so helpful with weird requests and issues, working around missing ingredients and being generally so amable. Also the AC units worked great. Room temperature was great. In general, the whole concept was awesome for the family. We skated, we played volleyball, we road the water slide and relaxed in the splash of (when it was working). Also the free coffee was surprisingly better than expected. Not great at all but by hotel coffee standards very serviceable.

    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! ❤️
