A peaceful oasis in Las Penitas. Perfect stay!
Pros:

Thee place to stay in Las Penitas! We had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in the ocean view suite. The owners, a couple from Spain, have put much attention to detail into their establishment. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The pool, covered by a canopy of beautiful palm trees, was kept pristine, and was a great spot to lounge and cool off during the day. The adjoining dining area was tastefully decorated while good music played, creating a nice vibe. The traditional breakfast every morning was delicious. We got massages here, and they were fantastic. The hotel is located just a short walk across the way to the beach. Their 2 dogs, Lola and Bimbo, and 3 cats were all so sweet. The entire staff is kind and helpful, and made us feel at home during our entire stay. Much thanks to owner Catalina for being so kind and for setting up our ride to Granada. It was a pleasure meeting you and a pleasure staying at your beautiful hotel. If ever back to Las Penitas, we will definitely be staying at Nuevo Nayal.

Cons:

Zero complaints.

I had a warm, wonderful time at Nuevo Nayal and would most certainly return.
Pros:

Nuevo Nayal is a delightful seaside lodge. The hostess/owner, a Spaniard who speaks pefect English could not have been any more welcoming and facilitative, who loves her role and loves her guests. The staff couldn't be more pleasant. Meals at the hotel, from the daily breakfasts to items on the menu (their hamburger, heaping with carmelized onions, bacon and other garnishes is so good I had it twice- the first time with a (large) attractive, creative salad). The covered outdoor eating area is quite inviting, comfortable and a welcoming gathering place for its international and Nicarguan guests. The pool at the lodge, which is in itself quite beautiful and sparkling blue, is covered with an umbrella of palm trees, making it an especially cool and refreshing place. For me it was a highlight of the hotel.
The property is very close to a spectacular seaside lookout, next to colourful, fairytale kind of park with an ornate fountain, and which hosts a popular (decent and reasonable) retaurant and bar that boasts its own pool. People from the neighbourhood, from Leon and from around the world gather there to watch the spectacular Pacific sunsets and enjoy eachother's company (especially on weekends - during the week it it very laid back). The long, sandy beach at Las Peñitas boasts a number of quite good restaurants.

Cons:

My second floor sea view room is two stories, with the second providing a balcony and arm chairs. The suite could use a comfortable bar stool on the first of the floors to make the built in table top more functional as a laptop workspace (for computer keyboarders like myself). Aside from this the place is great.

Es handelt sich um ein Boutique Hotel mit vier Zimmern. Super sauber. Tolle Ausstattung mit Hängematten und einem tollen Pool. Das Frühstück ist köstlich. Alle Fragen werden vollständig und zuvorkommend beantwortet. Der Flughafen Shuttle Service wird vom Hotel organisiert und ist ebenfalls top. Das Restaurant ist ebenfalls top.
Fazit: ein herausragendes Hotel.

I recommend staff take a few courses in hospitality and tourism management. I hear INATEC gives them for free.
Pros:

Location was easy to find, and the pictures of the property were in fact accurate.

Cons:

This was, by far, the most disappointing customer service we have experienced. The staff exhibited unwarranted sense of entitlement and several remarks made were both inappropriate and derogatory, specifically by the staff over the phone; such as brining up in question our nationality and where we live, as well as “what was the problem of purchasing bottled water” and stating that this was the only form available of having cold water in the location and that it was in their policy in the email confirmation we received upon booking, please note it does not state this or the fact that ice is not available for your water or for purchasing, but it is for the drinks you purchase at their bar, as per the lady on the phone. After the terrible interaction we did not feel comfortable or welcomed to stay and decide to leave after one of the staff on site stated we will not be charged for this booking. Surprise, surprise , our credit card was charged.
