Could not recommend this place more!
Pros:

Staying here was absolute paradise! We had the most amazing few days relaxing by the pool, surfing at the beach, watching unbelievable sunsets and eating delicious home cooked food!

The surf lessons were amazing - we got 121 instructors which was amazing as we were both complete beginners. Every member of staff was so lovely, patient, and knowledgeable.

They catered to our dietary requirements without hesitation (pescatarian and gluten free). Our room was spotlessly clean and had amazing views of the bay. We loved having the howler monkeys watching from the treetops. Cocktails were great too!

Cons:

Nothing

Incredible boutique hotel away from the crowds
Pros:

Views are incredible, rooms are perfect (but no a.c. In deluxe room), beach is really nice, great dinner, staff is considerate, the area around the hotel is unique

Cons:

Breakfasts are a bit of a let down, no options, always cold, cold coffee, free breakfast is only granola and coffee
Food is extremely expensive, more than twice what you pay elsewhere (more than 20-25$ US per plate)
Activities are expensive
Beach is 15 minutes walking, 4 minutes by car
Not any food options nearby

Best spot and experience ever in Nicaragua !
Pros:

Location and facilities are BREATHTAKING! We've read the comments prior to booking and they all were right. Gabriel is a pure angel, going beyond and above ! Food was delicious, and the staff was so welcoming and smiling that we regretted not staying more! The private beach is perfect for surfing or relaxing and swimming. We will definitely come back and next time we will experience the Casitas !

Great hotel to enjoy a peaceful vacation.
Pros:

The views are great and the small hotel with shared meals creates a nice community with the other guests. Food is wonderful. Wildlife including howler monkeys (also your alarm clock) around everywhere.

Cons:

Our room didn’t have a lock or hot water. Not having hot water would have been okay if it didn’t rain the whole stay. We brought up the lack of lock and all they said is the area is safe… my house at home is safe but I still look the doors…

Not worth the price
Pros:

Very nice private beach, quiet place to relax

Cons:

The location is quite remote and challenging to reach, especially without your own vehicle. It leaves you entirely dependent on the hotel, even for meals, and the prices for food are exceptionally high for Nicaragua, often more than double the usual rates. Dinner options were limited to just one choice.

Moreover, all the activities come at an extra cost, and there are no outstanding attractions nearby. On top of that, the room was small, situated below the dining area, making it quite noisy as every footstep could be heard early in the morning and at night.

The views are amazing
Pros:

The "casita" with the sea view was amazing! Every time we entered the casita I was mesmerized by the view.
The vibe is very chill and both the staff and the guests seemed to be always in a good mood.

Cons:

Besides the hotel and the restaurant at the beach, there are not too many options for food. And the beach restaurant wasn't always open (perhaps because it was low season). However, the food at the hotel was always very nice and they kindly prepared for us a snack on the day the beach restaurant was closed.
