The best of Nicaragua
Our stay was 5 star all the way! The staff were outstanding, took care of every need we had, from special drinks to delicious food. They arrange everything, from massages to mani/pedis, to the best lobster thermidor for dinner. Villa Baleares is everything you could wish for in a vacation and more.

Didn’t want to leave!
My family and I have been going to SJDS for years now. No house compares. The moment you walk thru the doors, you’re greeted like family. The attention from the staff is superb. The chef was a last minute decision that we were sooo happy we opted for. It was heaven! The bartender never left us empty handed either, which of course we loved. We can’t wait to come back.

Stunning villa overlooking San Juan feel Sur
This property is incredible and the pictures do not do it justice! We traveled with a group of 8 and there was more than enough room between the guest house and the main house (which is a few steps apart!) The views and locations are wonderful but I believe the staff made the trip even more memorable. They made incredible meals and were extremely pleasurable and helpful! Google translate is a fantastic resource! Julio was a pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend a stay at Villa Baleares enough!!

Great stay
Overall the stay was amazing. The chef, the pool, the service/staff. We honestly had no complaints. I would recommend this chef at ANYTIME. She always had food prepared and it tasted soooo good, none of my guest complained. (We definitely left a huge tip, she was SOOOOOOOO good) We chose to have massages at the house which was a plus. Horseback riding and surf lessons were the excursions we chose which were amazing experiences. Only minor downfall was the stiffness of the beds, and paying for kilowatt-ages for power. We did have a 2 night stay but only stayed for 1 day (in and out of the house), it’s hard to determine what is actually used by me and my guest, but it was a $50 charge which we paid. Overall, amazing stay.

Who needs a Four Seasons when you have Villa Baleares
Being a native from Nicaragua, and bringing all our closest friends to spend a few days after our wedding with us in San Juan, I have to say I was skeptical of what our experience would be like. Villa Baleares, however, blew our expectations out of the water. We were welcomed by a very friendly staff who made sure we didn't have to worry about anything while we stayed there. Every single meal was carefully thought out. There are security guards 24/7. If you run out of anything, Manuel will be happy to go get it for you. Everybody is always smiling and catering to your every need. There wasn't one thing that they didn't think about when building that house!! I wish I had more words to say about it, but honestly, experience Baleares, and you will also leave speechless.

La Santa Maria Resort
Communication with the people who take care of the property could be better. They never contacted me until the day of my arrival. Also, the house's location is not the address given to you. We had to follow the manager for 3-5 minutes. That made me and my family feel unsafe. However, we felt safe and happy once we arrived at the house! The house is gorgeous, with spectacular views of the ocean/mountains! We fell in love with this house! I will come back! The pool is beautiful! You need a car to go to the beach or restaurants or explore the town because the house is located on a hill about 7 minutes away. The manager and security guard were friendly, professional, and happy to assist us with anything we needed! I recommend this house to you!

Paradise
Perfect balance of pampering and privacy. First the pictures truly don't do the home justice. Combine the house itself, with the view and staff and I truly couldn't ask for more. Without question I would say splurge a little more and have the chef/cook services. The seafood was fresh from the sea. Everything fresh and delicious. Mgmt interaction was attentive and respectful of privacy. I have stayed in some fabulous resort villas around the world and this is right at the top with some Four Seasons. Thank you to all!

Great Group Vacation
This is our second group vacation and we couldn't have been happier in choosing this property. It sounds ridiculous, but the pictures don't actually do this place justice. We were blown away as soon as we walked in and saw the views. The place is also much bigger than you would assume from the photos. The staff were friendly, helpful and prepared delicious meals to our liking. Get ready for freshly squeezed and blended juices every morning! We had a diverse list of preferences, some allergies and all was accommodated in each and every meal. If anything there was too much food, but may be that's because we are all not 3 meals a day type people. One thing I would say to anyone coming is try and grab a pocket projector from Amazon, as the wall in thriving room is perfect for late night drive-in style movie viewing. And most importantly, don't be concerned about the safety of Nicaragua. From the airport pick-up to the arrangement of taxis from the house we all felt very safe. The walk into town is doable in the daytime and we did this one a number of times. The house and views were by far the highlights of the trip and made up feel like we were celebrities in Malibu.

Picturesquely beautiful
The pictures displaying the property are on point, you don’t have feel like you’re being fooled with demo pics because the property is nothing short of amazing. It’s very peaceful and serene where the property is located, it over looks the city and is adjacent to Cristo de la Misericordia and at night it lights up! The staff are there for your every need. They keep the house cleaned and do their best to prepare any dish that you desire!! I give it (4) thumbs up Lol

As Good As It Gets!
I'd be hard-pressed to believe there are any better views of SJDS in its entirety than from the pool deck and expansive balconies of this place.....and that's not even the best part! Margorie, Jorlene, Michael and Freddy took such great care of the place and us via meals, security, drinks, etc. Jo Anne knows the town inside and out and worked with us to make this travel experience one of the best of our lives! I really can't offer up anymore superlatives for this breathtaking house and the wonderful people help make it so. -Jordan

Everything was amazing just like the pictures. We had a little incident where money was missing $20 from my purse & 1 of my guest was missing $60. They removed one of the staff that was mostly accountable and heighten up security where we had an armed guard 24/7. They accommodated us and also reimbursement the money and through in a on service bartender! We had and amazing time the staff Jo & Marg was great! Definitely recommend

Amazing view and property
The property was perfect for us. The view is absolutely amazing and the staff is super sweet. We stayed for 4 night and opted for the personal chef experience which I highly recommend. While there we were able to arrange a private yoga session pool side. The views and breeze made for an unbelievable experience. Of course we put our suits on immediately after and enjoyed the pool before we headed out to explore for the day. Jo Anne can arrange just about anything you need including excursions and transportation so if you aren’t sure where to begin the planning process she is more than happy to assist! We had a blast and would definitely recommend this property to everyone heading to the area !

SIMPLY PRICELESS
Don’t even waste another minute looking! This place will surpass every expectation you have! The house! The staff! The food! The owners! The beds! The pool! THE VIEW! Truly all 7 of us women felt like royalty for 5 days and can’t wait to go back!!! Truly remarkable! My only word of advice is on getting there, we flew into Liberia then had the shuttle company take us to the border and another meet us on the other side, THANK GOD! We left out of Managua and that’s the way to go! It can be very intimidating and confusing crossing country borders on foot! Without their help I could only imagine what would have transpired! Super easy out of Managua and a nice drive from the house. Be prepared to be awe struck and not want to leave!! We are hooked on Nicaragua now! ❤️

Amazing, Mezmerizing and Entrancing!!!
Oh my god, this place was even more fantastic that I had imagined! The views are stunning. More beautiful than the pictures on the site. It was a stellar vacation. Manuel and then ladies who cooked and cleaned were incredible and lovely. The food was fantastic. We never even went into town to eat. I’ve never been on a vacation where all we wanted to was sit in a lounge chair and look at the view. We did go ziplining one day and that was awesome and for an incredibly low price… and Manuel even set that up for us. Villa Beleares is the meaning of the word entrancing! This is a 5 star experience, no question... Spectacular is an understatement!

Stop looking this place is worth the $$!!
We were here for a bachelor party, there were 6 of us and this house had wayyy more than enough room for us. The pictures don't lie this place is gorgeous. I recommend paying extra for the chef on call for meals and snacks. This isn't the best bang for your buck (compared to the ridiculously cheap food options in town), but the house is so great you won't want to leave so it's worth it. We became pretty tight with the staff, they were all extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Manuel, thanks for making us at least 200 Mojitos ha. Julio was also easy to communicate with. The only warning, they are very strict about the no guest policy : ) so just be aware in case you meet some cute Australian girl and want to bring her back to the Casa. Julio was very upfront about this though so no real complaints there. Overall this house far exceeded my expectations, as did SJDS, as did Nicaragua as a whole. Book it!
