"Great place to stay… just apply mosquito repelant before they eat you alive. Staff is really helpful so remember to ask them for recommendations where to go and particularly taxi drivers’ numbers, you will need them."

"Thank you for a beautiful, truly unique stay. We enjoyed meals in the restaurant, our clean and air-conditioned room and the gorgeous setting. The gardens, other outdoor spots and family of howler monkeys made it extra special."

Our room was kept very clean! Nice balcony area. High ceilings made the room feel more spacious.
Complimentary breakfast was well portioned & varied. The Italian Restaurant on site was very good. They served delicious pizzas, bruschettas & pasta.
The hotel was across the street from a pickleball court.
Although the power had gone out during a storm, there was a backup generator.
Wifi was spotty.

Rustic, chic and wonderful service. Lots of kids (more than expected). This is fine and not a knock on the hotel but worth noting that there is a louder kids vibe than anticipated.

Somar is a beautiful property managed by the most amazing guy, Oscar. We booked Casa Sirena suite, it said it was a king bed but it was actually a queen (it didnt matter to us). The room was clean, had a comfy bed and very cold AC!
The pool and hot tub were so great, and being right on the beach allowed us to explore the beach for miles and swim in warm ocean waters with soft sand for 100+feet out.
Having a restaurant on site was so nice as its a remote location with only a basic market (water,...

I wish I could give this place a low score to keep it off people’s radar, but I can’t keep this gem to myself. Where to start…The staff are all amazing and super helpful. Willing to book horse back riding, taxis or get you set up with a motorcycle rental. The rooms are cleaned daily and there is always someone around to take a food or beverage order. I travelled there with husband and two teenagers. Kids were pretty independent on site. They swam everyday, played in the ocean out front or...

Pros
Amazing, gorgeous, breathtaking private beach with palm trees and white sand, kayaks, hamacs, private spaces for each family. Room concept is really cool, no walls, just screens, we had the forest view one and really enjoyed the plunge pool with the kids. Would recommend this one with kids, it’s close to the main area and they liked the pool. The bed was really comfortable and the room felt new and clean. Employees go above and beyond, my son got sick and they gave us electrolytes and...

This was our second stay here. We came back as it is the place to go if you go to San Juan Del Sur and want to relax and be away from the busy life of town AND there is a beach nearby. Has a Mama Mia vibe to it. Perhaps we were off season, but the food was not as good as our first visit. I kept being promised they would have the peanut butter chocolate bars “tomorrow”, but these delicious bars I enjoyed last time never materialized. I think next time we will try a different place.

Great little BnB with only 4 rooms on the property. Talia and Delmar are awesome hosts right down to the authentic Nicaraguan breakfast. The location can’t be beat. Just steps from Long Bay beach and the views are incredible! I was in the Salty Air room with a great ocean view from the balcony. I would go back!

We totally enjoyed our stay. The owner of the hotel could not be anymore helpful, especially as I was sick the day I arrived. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable to assist us in anyway he could. The Hotel is located on the beach and is an idyllic paradise. You are far enough away from the bars, etc that the noise will not bother you. Service was exceptional. Will definitely return. We were there for 3 nights.
