99 Surf Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente opción para disfrutar de las playas nicaragüenses."

Eco Casita Phase 1.10

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

TreeCasa Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property in SJDS . As a family of 4 with 2 kids under 10 this had everything we needed . Food is on the pricier side but one breakfast drink & item is included daily with your stay (portions were big) . Daily shuttle will take you closer to the beach as it is not walking distance. Unfortunately, some of the things advertised on their social media such as “access to a private beach” were not accessible , they could not get us a shuttle to the private beach or provide a clear follow up on why so that was kind of a bummer. Otherwise, the resort itself was amazing."

8/10 Good

"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."
