Hostal Brisas y Olas - Hostel

1.5 star property
6.8 out of 10, (8)
"I had the misfortune to arrive by bus from Managua on a rainy day. I thus had difficulty in finding the Hostal. When I did, at aout 7 pm, the person at the reception did not even ask to identify me, and I was led to a room with a window giving on the corridor, a small old sink giving only a tiny fillet or water, etc. Only cold water, but that seems to be general in San Juan. I eventually got used to all these "perks"..."

"We didn’t end up staying at this hotel because she tried to double the price when we were paying. Hotels.com said 31.50 pay at hotel. When we arrived she said it was 52 and cash only. It also wasn’t close to the beach and she didn’t know how to use the computer or phone. We walked out and found a cute quiet hostel down the street with air conditioning and private bath for 25 "

Cozy surf studio in Playa Gigante. pet friendly

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"We loved our stay so much here! Everything was clean and safe (and there’s even A/C!). Luis was helpful with everything we needed. The location is great- just a short walk to Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo. We walked everyday to surf, eat, and swim. El Gigante is seriously a hidden gem in Nicaragua and so is this place. Definitely our favorite place we’ve stayed in Nicaragua!"
