"I've been coming back for more than 20 years, even before the new owners upgraded everything. This hotel is the best value in San Juan Del Sur. Next to cathedral and main park, walk to everything. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and fully bilingual. The neighborhood while very close in is quiet and safe. Its just below Pelican Eyes at half the price. Rooms and beds light, airy and comfortable even at the lower price point. All town's amenities are a few steps away."

"We were a party of nine. Two families with kids ages 22, 17, 17, 15 and 13. This house exceeded our expectations. It was very spacious and the open air main floor was fantastic. I don’t think the pictures do it justice.. Access to the beach is terrific. You do have to walk a couple flights of stairs which was fine with us. The views are spectacular. The caretakers on site, Keyling and Meynor, were very helpful and will prepare meals for you if requested which is a nice option to have while on vacation. I would recommend this property and we would definitely vacation here again. "
