If you want to trade surfing, restaurant, yoga, and spa, for smell of piss, heat , mosquitoes, off the grid village livi
Pros:

Refunded our original reservation after getting booking.com involved.

Cons:

It smelled like piss so bad that i actually thought our sheets was washed in pee. They have a lime bucket next to the toilet for you to put in.. no water in toilet, not sure when it was last cleaned out. Beds are super uncomfortable. We been in Nicaragua for 3 weeks and stayed at many places, this was the worst. Mosquitoes was horrible, stinks, all around nighttime. If you decide to go through booking make sure you DO NOT CHOOSE THE BUNGALOW HUT.. they advertise as HOTEL WITH AC, but those are a few at a much higher price then advertised. We also had no electricity for 5 hrs.. so ya it sucked

Nous avons été très bien accueilli par des propriétaires français. L'hôtel est vraiment au calme, les cabanes sont originales.
Le Restaurant est vraiment très sympathique et la vue formidable.
Le prêt de vélos, de planches de body est un Plus.

Lovely relaxing place
Pros:

Friendly staff, great breakfast, location was good. My daughter liked that there was a small pool and some toys. Mosquitos were not really an issue for us in our eco hut (which I was worried about). Lots of great spaces to relax.

Cons:

Eco toilet was a bit smelly and the guys could use some maintenance. Wifi was slow particularly over the weekend when it got busy (I couldn't download a podcast).

Viaje entre amigos
Pros:

El Hotel cumple con lo que se muestra en las fotografías. Es ideal si buscas viajar con amistades y quieres un hotel cercano al área nocturna que hay en la playa. No está muy lejos de restaurantes y hay varios negocios cerca, así puedes abastartecerte con lo que necesites. El desayuno es entre las 7am - 10am, todo estaba bien. Me quedé en uno de los Bungalow y aunque el abanico del techo no funcionaba resolvimos con uno de pedestal. En ese caso recomendaría más la habitación con aire acondicionado.

Cons:

A pesar del clima que en estos meses de diciembre suele estar más fresco, en el día si hace un poco de calor, el abanico ayuda, solo que no al 100. Recomiendo salir en el día y solo dormir en la noche. La calle que es de entrada al parqueo privado está un poco averiada, pero no es de imposible su acceso incluso en un corolla.

Oude donkere kamer, buiten genoeg plek om te chillen
Pros:

Ruimte om buiten te zitten. Strand Speelgoed voor kinderen.

Cons:

Vieze oude donkere kamer. Overal vlekken op de muur. Er liep ook een grote kakkerlak! Op een folder bij de bar staat dat het personeel Engels praat maar dit kunnen ze niet. Ze konden wel boos worden dat we eerst buiten hadden moeten douche ipv zand. Ze hebben ons alleen nooit de buiten douche laten zien. Op de foto’s zie je dat er meer water ligt. dit is niet het geval. Je moet 5 minuten lopen naar het strand om te kunnen zwemmen. Ontbijt zit erbij maar je krijgt een apart papiertje met een paar opties. Wij wilden graag banaan ipv papaya maar dat was teveel gevraagd.
