The facility is not too bad. Quite and pleasant. It’s just a bit too far from the city. Also, you have to cross a river and there is no bridge. If you take a taxi it may not take you all the way to the ranch if it rains or rained days before and the river water is too high. Not bad for the cost value per night of stay. Friendly staff.

Never Again
The roads are hard to access parts are flooded, there’s a small river you have to cross. When we arrived we were told they do not offer 6beds as shown on their description- we ended up having to get a third room. The main room a scorpion inside when we arrived and later throughout the night ended up flooding. Very disappointed in the overall stay.

This property ad was deceptive. The drone shot shows a "water park". It was one average sized pool with water. What appeared in the picture to be other pools was cement painted blue but dry (not joking). Worst of all is that it advertises to be in San Juan del Sur. SJDS is five actually miles away, and the last 1 mile is down a long dirt road crossing a river (no bridge). Since it rains nearly every day in SJDS, this "road" is continually a muddy jeep trail. We almost didn't get there to check in and we damaged our rental car trying and we were nearly stranded at night on a muddy road since there was no night receptionist. Of course, it is nearly impossible to book a room last minute in SJDS so this made matters worse. Fortunately, my paid guide was able to use his influence to first get us access via the security guard to our room after we arrived, and then get us a room at another hotel for our second night. Bottom line: If you want an off-road adventure and you have a high clearance 4x4 mud rig, this might be the right hotel for you. For people who want a nice hotel in San Juan Del Sur, avoid this hotel at all cost. Although the hotel promised to refund my second day since we could not access the hotel due to their muddy road and 20' river crossing, it has not refunded the money thus far and it has been five days. Sadly, the staff was very pleasant and seem to be victims of dishonest and unscrupulous ownership/management. AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COST.

No recomendado, no hay relación precio-producto Hotel muy basico, pileta de ducha no desagua bien lo que provoca que el baño se llene de agua con el peligro que conlleva, aunado a una carpeta de salida de baño para colocar los pies SUCIA, y para terminar la lozeta o piedra con se forra la pared del baño presenta desprendimientos de material. No gasten su dinero en ese sitio !!!
