1. Aqua Oceanfront Hotel Resort

Playa La Redonda

"We had a wonderful stay at Aqua Resort. The view is absolutely beautiful, our room was very clean, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming as well. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed our time there. The only downside was that when we returned to our villa at night, there were no lights outside the room, and the pool lights were also off. It made it difficult to walk around safely after dark. Other than that, we had a great experience and would recommend this resort."

Top El Gigante Hotel Reviews

Surf Ranch Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Muy Buen servicio y agradable el hotel, algunas cositas que remodelar en las habitaciones pero en general bien."

Hotel Gracia

10/10 Excellent

"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."

HC Liri Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot near the beach and very nice and clean pool. The owner is a lovely man and the breakfast is all time, I definitely approve."

Black Pearl Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable and a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The included breakfast was excellent. There was no hot water in the room. Overall it was a good value for the price."

Gran Hotel Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms staff very helpful good breakfast. The rules were very big"

Morgan's Rock Reserve & Ecolodge

10/10 Excellent

"Pros Amazing, gorgeous, breathtaking private beach with palm trees and white sand, kayaks, hamacs, private spaces for each family. Room concept is really cool, no walls, just screens, we had the forest view one and really enjoyed the plunge pool with the kids. Would recommend this one with kids, it’s close to the main area and they liked the pool. The bed was really comfortable and the room felt new and clean. Employees go above and beyond, my son got sick and they gave us electrolytes and sent a cleaning crew after dark to pick up vomit. Security took care of us at 2:00 am for our luggage to the airport. Breakfast is included and pretty good. There are hiking trails onsite where you can find monkeys. The pool comes with a spa, heating it would’ve been nice but it was still appreciated. Massage service is available but pretty expensive, like all the amenities. Cons We paid 150$ usd for a one hour tour that we could’ve done by foot. Food was crazy expensive and good but nothing spectacular, 50-70$ usd for a plate in Nicaragua is insane. We recommend the pizza for lunch which is the only more affordable option (20 USD per pizza, feeds about 1 person) Airport shuttle was 288$ usd, we took our own for 85$ usd. A fridge in the room and black our blinds would be good additions. I would still absolutely recommend this hotel but bring your own car so you can eat out and do tours. It’s only 20 minutes from the main city of San Juan Del Sur. We will return (with a rental car)"

Beachfront 3 Bedroom Villa steps from the beach!

Costa Oeste

"Best place so far. Excellent place to relax, rooms are big, I selected the suite with a King Size bed. It was awesome 👌."
