Cabanas Rusticas, hotel in Las Peñitas

Situated in Las Peñitas, within 600 metres of Poneloya Beach and 600 metres of Las Peñitas Beach, Cabanas Rusticas features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as...

We were there as a couple and stayed in one of the private cabañas. We really enjoyed our stay, despite the heat we slept pretty well. The bed is confortable and has a nice mosquito net. We felt welcomed and appreciated the chilled family vibe of the place, it is also quiet and the internet works well if you need to do a bit of work. The kitchen is also well equipped if you like to cook. You do need to walk a bit to go to the beach but you can also rent bikes :) If you have a mean of transportation (we had a moto), it is also super easy to go explore and spend the day in Leon !

Surfing Turtle Lodge, hotel in Las Peñitas

Situated in Poneloya, less than 1 km from Poneloya Beach, Surfing Turtle Lodge features accommodation with a garden, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

The lodge offers amazing views of sunsets, a 15km long beach which is almost always completely empty, and amazing cabins directly on the beach with a view of the Pacific ocean. The menu is amazing, especially against the background of the unique location of the lodge; the chefs in the kitchen were very great. The ride to the lodge with a horse carriage is another very special experience.

Very nice hostel. Stayed here for 3 nights and would totally recommend it! The place is very chill, the staff are nice and it has a good location close to the city centre. We had an issue with a nearby laundrette, and the hostel staff stepped in to help us translate and resolve it. Thanks again for that 😊

Staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. Location is right in the city center, everything is walking distance. The indoor garden is absolutely beautiful, an amazing place to relax! No aircon, but still pleasant with the fans. There's also a restaurant with many food options and a great bar. You can grab free filtered water and coffee. If you would like to do the volcano boarding (which I'd recommend), you can book it at the hostel. They also offer other activities and many shuttle options. Definitely book this hostel!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, 2 min walk to town with all the privacy you need. The pool is AMAZING and sooo nice to have it to myself. There's a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, shower and everything you need. I feel right at home here. The best place I've ever stayed in Nicaragua for sure. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Very nice place overall, it looks much more expensive than it is. Pool is cleaned daily. Easy place to relax but close access to the beach. Away from the noise of the backpacker hostels. The food is outstanding. I'd happily stay there again. The employees don't speak any English but are attentive and friendly.

    Patrick, the owner, went above and beyond to help everyone out, with great recommendations for nearby, a really easy system for cheap drinks at the hostel and he even repaired my board bag for me when it broke a little. There is a really nice relaxed vibe at the hostel, a great kitchen and an amazing dog! Would recommend

    It was probably the best hostel I've stayed on the beach side in Nicaragua! The vibe was just amazing, so laid-back but family-like and friendly. Matteo, the owner is super fun and helpful, the rooms nice and clean, the kitchen comfortable, beach is just 2 mins walk. Common area was pretty and comfortable to work (good wifi, unless there's no electricity in whole village haha) or just chill. Lovely volunteers as well!
