    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.

    We are very happy to have chosen Buena Onda! The building is amazing with beautiful communal areas and stunning views! Celine’s breakfasts were unbelievable - not just for Nicaragua but for anywhere in the world - absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! The rooms are large, airy and very comfortable. Baba and Celine are the very best hosts - with great kindness and excellent advice. We loved it so much we extended our stay - we were very sad to leave and hope to visit again soon. Thanks for a wonderful visit

    The property is beautiful and the staff were amazing. Great place to be a little further from the downtown area of San Juan Del Sur to enjoy a peaceful view. The property is on top of a hill and not every taxi driver can get up it, especially during rainy season. The hotel staff does have recommend taxi drivers and the were very available. We also enjoyed the two dogs and cats around the property. They were all very friendly and we made great friends with Taco the cat.

    The directions were useless. Two local San Juan taxis could not find the place. We ended up after several hours driving around and asking locals how to get there taking an expensive hotel. Yuor team needs to verify that directions are accurate and prrcise. Do not charge my account for a no show. The owner did not answer any calls or reply despite trying to confirm three days in advance. Useless and very frustrating instructions.

    Great stay at TapiHouse! Excellent service from Rafa and the staff. My sink broke and he not only got it fixed immediately but also offered to put me in a different room. Breakfast was great - I came back late one day from surfing (past breakfast time) and the staff still made me breakfast. The room is comfortable enough. AC is huge plus. Awesome location in San Juan Del Sur and great value for the price paid!

    We kept coming back here as we passed through San Juan del Sur. Very nice and clean space with a big breakfast. I recommend you ask for the upstairs room if you go private as they are super airy and you get lots of privacy with a hammock. They also let us leave some stuff there in between our visits which eased our load a lot. ALSO, it's right next to the best comedor I've been to!!!

    The hostel is value for money. The dorms are spacious, clean, beds comfortable. They have a fan for each bed, so it is great for when it gets hot. Breakfast is included which is amazing for the price. Location is super close to everywhere you would want to go to in San Juan Del Sur. There are many common areas to relax with comfortable hammocks and chairs. Recommend !

    This place has a good location, and for the price bracket in San Juan del Sur it is reasonable. Free WiFi worked well Nice cold shower to cool down Use of kitchen etc Overall it is fine for the price as long as you spend most of your time out and about. I wouldn't call it an especially nice place to stay but it's secure and there's a roof over your head.

    Cheap and cheerful. We felt very welcome from the hosts. We were upgraded into a bigger room because they had space, that was a really nice touch and much appreciated! It was family home clean but not hotel room clean which we didn't mind.
