"My friend and I got the all-inclusive for food and drink, as well as taking surfing lessons, and the shuttle back. Our rooms were clean, bathroom was really large, especially the shower. There were many bugs, birds, lizards, etc. which was fun! The food is good, breakfast is a large portion while lunch and dinner can be a little smaller. The bar was amazing, especially our server Ciaro, he absolutely made our stay. All the staff were incredibly nice, and patient with our lack of understanding or speaking Spanish. The surfing lessons were a little pricey compared to other experiences we had in Nicaragua. I’d probably look for something a little more budget friendly next time! The shuttle to the airport was great, a little late but nothing crazy, just ensure you don’t have a tight deadline! Overall, really enjoyed our time."

"Absolutely loved the stay here. The property was stunning. The beach was pristine and quiet, boogie boarding was so much fun for our son. The ocean view was spectacular. I also particularly loved the air conditioning units over the bed, they made a real difference! The reasons for my non 5/5 reviews are this: 1) I’m a big runner/walker. This place was advertised as being able to explore the 4000 hectares solo or with guide. I understand they’ve had challenges with the new highway, but none the less the maps made no sense, nor were there any markers on the trails. I tried to explore beyond the new highelway and either came across trails no longer in use, or confusion from the less than spectacular map. 2) the shrimp farm was dry and not in operation. Rather false advertising on both the website and on the menu advertising “Morgan’s rock shrimp” 3) menu prices are absolutely outrageous. We did eat there at dinner, our choice for not driving 30+ minutes to town and back. No reason at all for a $50 that was “good” but absolutely not worth this price nor justified for the quality of food. The farm breakfast was great."

"I've been coming back for more than 20 years, even before the new owners upgraded everything. This hotel is the best value in San Juan Del Sur. Next to cathedral and main park, walk to everything. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and fully bilingual. The neighborhood while very close in is quiet and safe. Its just below Pelican Eyes at half the price. Rooms and beds light, airy and comfortable even at the lower price point. All town's amenities are a few steps away."
