"I think it is important to present Nicaraguan gastronomy, such as fried fish with tostones. Also ceviches and tostones with cheese, something very typical of Nicaragua to try. "

"Anthony (manager) was great! Their kitchen staff did a great job. I would tell you it’s advisable to get a 4x4. We made it in a Toyota Aice mini van but it was interesting to say the least. On the last day of our stay we met the owner very nice and reflected the staffs attentiveness. The tide pools are great to lounge and that pics! Thanks for a great experience."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Costa Oeste. It is the most beautiful corner of the world, right on a swimmable beach. There are at least 3 (good) restaurants within walking distance, in addition to the fantastic food and cocktails at the hotel. There are also the most gorgeous cats that live there (I fell in love with them). We were there for 4 nights with our two kids (11 and 15) who loved it also. Its calm, peaceful, and heavenly. Thanks to the staff that made it so special for us."
"Second time staying here and will continue to come back. The overall condition of the property was great and staff are super friendly and helpful. Locked myself out my car ant night and they were able to help. "
"We had a great stay at Casa Yosi — it truly feels like a real beach house with all the comfort you might need. The house is directly on the sand, which is a huge plus, and having a big ranch and a pool made the experience even better.The kitchen is fully equipped, the grill worked perfectly, and the ACs were functional and much appreciated after a warm day. The people working there are very kind and helpful, making everything easier.The beach can be a bit rough for small children, but there are many options for things to do around the area. All in all, a fantastic spot to enjoy the coast with comfort and a true beach house vibe."
"An amazing get away. Away from everything. It is a bit isolated but I personally loved that. It has a private beach, restaurant, and bar. The rooms and views are stunning."

"We loved this place! The staff is very attentive as far as being flexible and breakfast which was our favorite! Parking was easy! Super friendly staff!! Def recommend!"
"Pros: beautiful property in the middle of the jungle, private beach, and delicious food at the restaurant. They were very kind to upgrade our room close to the beach. It was a beautiful 2-story villa with a kitchen, private pool, a balcony, and AC in the bedroom.
Cons: lack of honesty and services
Leading up to the trip, we received a few emails telling us about all the activities and services available in the resort. They offered complementary hiking and snorkeling, and we could pay for yoga classes, spa treatments, romantic packages, and activities such as surfing, hikes on Mombacho and Omepete island, etc. None of that was available once we got there.
We asked the reception to book activities and they said they would call amd organize them. They never did. After a few days, we decided to book them ourselves through tour websites. We even asked them to call a nearby golfing course and they said they would. After 3 days, they said the golf course hadn't answered yet. My partner emailed the golf course and we got a response within 5 minutes.
The staff at the reception were very kind, but not helpful and the lack of honestly from the management really disappointed us. The restaurant staff were always great and the service was excellent. The reception even gave us the wrong opening hours for the restaurant so we showed up late one evening. The staff were still there and were so extremely kind to prepare us a meal even after closing."
"Our reservation was not received, it was very difficult to find and get to, they didn’t tell us that the kitchen closed at 6:00pm, the room was smelly, power was sporadic and the tv didn’t work. Generally unwelcoming. But the beach was beautiful."
"The ranch is an amazing property. Our room was beautiful, and we enjoyed the guided birdwatching and monkey trips offered. It was expensive to get there from the airport and back."
"Property & Amenities: 3/5
The house itself is undeniably beautiful, boasting a spacious layout and a fully equipped interior. However, maintenance is lacking, with visible cracks on the walls and floors, likely due to construction methods. Some of the equipment are outdated, which slightly affects the overall experience. The pool, while a great feature, does not have a heater, making it quite cold at night this could be a downside. Technology & Connectivity: 2.5/5
Two of the TVs were not functional, and the WiFi signal was weak, which can be inconvenient for guests who rely on a stable internet connection for work or entertainment. This is an area where improvements are needed.
Conclusion:
This home rental has great potential due to its prime location and beautiful structure. However, the lack of upkeep, outdated equipment, connectivity issues, and difficulty accessing necessities make the stay less seamless than it could be. With better maintenance and minor upgrades, this property could offer an exceptional experience. Recommended for: Guests looking for a peaceful getaway close to the beach and don't mind minor inconveniences related to maintenance and accessibility.
Almost forgot to mention: GPS directions provided by the hotel are not entirely accurate, leading to potential confusion for guests.
Additionally, while there is a small town nearby for basic necessities, sourcing specific items like fresh meat for a barbecue can be challenging."
"The property was close to beach and walkable. We enjoyed the pool and breakfast was an option which we had a few times. Staff was very helpful arranging taxi and sharing walks and things to explore. Enjoyed that it was non smoking. Enjoyed having coffee and water available as well. I would recommend this place and have no problem coming back."

10/10 Excellent
"We were a big group of 8 people. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The listing was very accurate and communicating with everyone was very easy. The location was excellent as we were literally on the beach. Waking up in the morning to the Ocean view and hearing the waves at night, were AWESOME. I highly recommend this home. "
