Hotel Joxi

There are several budget hotels in San Juan del Sur and I saw three before I came to Hotel Joxi. Hotel Joxi felt right, only half a block from the beach and with a nice common area upstairs with chairs, sofas and hammocks where you can sit reading or talk to other people.

I liked my room. It was big with a bathroom and a breeze was coming in through the bathroom window. There were both an air-condition and a fan, but I didn’t use them. There was also a TV in the room. The room was 300 cordobas, or 15 dollars, per night (July 2009). My room was in the end of the corridor so it was quiet, except for my loud neighbour coming home late one night. The walls are very thin.

The first morning I asked for breakfast because I had seen the sign, but I don’t think they do breakfast often as they didn’t have much. Well, when I later paid for my stay they told me I didn’t have to pay for the breakfast. That was kind of them.

Playa El Coco: Casa Mariposa

When we arrived at Casa Mariposa we were warmly greeted by Fredis the care taker of the house. We immediately noticed the amazing infinity pool over looking Playa El Coco, Coco beach, and in the far Costa Rica. The view was unobstructed and breath taking!

The house is the nicest house in the area with a 24 hr care taker, pool, wood burning brick oven, hammocks, nicely furnished, fully furnished kitchen, TV (not that you need), remote A/C, a great sound system, and wireless internet. The house is just a short walk to the 2 mile semi private stretch of beach, where you can enjoy long walks, catch an amazing sunset, or catch some waves. Also located on the beach is a great little restaurant with fresh fruits, a good selection of food, and delicious beverages. All of us had an excellent time, great weather, and never felt more relaxed and care free.

I felt safe and secure in Nicaragua and at the house. I loved my stay at Casa Mariposa and would highly recommend this house for your time in Nicaragua over any hotel.

Hotel Inn on the Pacific.

I found this hotel through Hostel World, it was not cheap but it has a perfect location just in front of the beach, the room has a balcony to enjoy the sunset. It´s a new hotel with very nice rooms and a good bathroom. The breakfast is included (typical Nicaraguan food) and is served in a pleasant courtyard by the pool. Very friendly staff.

Casa Oro: A backpacker's place

At only hundred metres from the beach in San Juan del Sur, and just as far from the busstop, you'll find the guesthouse Casa Oro. This guesthouse is popular with backpackers and it is a very good option to stay. They have private bedrooms here, but I stayed in the dorm.

A bed in the dorm costs about 5 dollars per night, and includes fresh blankets and a place somewhere in one of the bunkbeds. The dorm is clean and you have enough space to stall all your stuff. The staff also pays attention to all their guests, so if you don't belong in the rooms, you don't get in.

The guesthouse has good toilet and shower facilities, they have a kitchen that can be used by all guests and a nice area where you can sit in a hammock or on one of the seats on the nice patio. In the evening they play music here, they serve drinks and it is a good spot to meet other travellers. At (I believe) 22:30 the music is turned off and you're expected to be quiet: either you're going to sleep, or you get out to find another place to have a beer.

Unique Quality: Casa Oro also is a good place to get information about San Juan del Sur. If you want to know anything about the visits you can make to the seaturtles around here. Or if you want to go surfing on one of the desolate beaches around SJDS, Casa Oro is the place to be and to book your tours.
