Next time you find yourself in Nicaragua, skip the tourist hordes and party scene of San Juan Del Sur, and head up the coast a little bit to Playa Gigante. It's a beautiful, quiet little beach town, with some really decent surfing, and a few really great restaurants.

"First of all, the pics shown for this property are outdated as this house is no longer yellow, it's now white.

Costa Oeste

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Costa Oeste. It is the most beautiful corner of the world, right on a swimmable beach. There are at least 3 (good) restaurants within walking distance, in addition to the fantastic food and cocktails at the hotel. There are also the most gorgeous cats that live there (I fell in love with them). We were there for 4 nights with our two kids (11 and 15) who loved it also. Its calm, peaceful, and heavenly. Thanks to the staff that made it so special for us."
