Popoyo Republic, hotel in Popoyo

Located in Popoyo, a 7-minute walk from Santana Beach, Popoyo Republic has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Great location right on the beach. Feels more like a shared home than hostel which I liked. A/C was a game changer and Thom the owner is super nice!

The Barrel Hostel, hotel in Popoyo

Located in Popoyo, a few steps from Popoyo Beach, The Barrel Hostel has accommodations with a private beach area, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

We payed 15 bucks per bed in a 20 people dorm. The beds were fresh, comfy. The dorm was overall nice. The one bad thing is there is no shower (?!?) only the one outdoors for like rinsing from the beach. Otherwise, the hostal is nice. Don't recommend the food.

Perfect spot with the most amazing view of the waves and the sunset, this is a relaxing place in a local fishermen village. Don’t go if you expect party, this was very relaxing and the staff was amazing . Too surf location too :)

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Amazing green central reservation which gives such a cool jungle vibe to the place. The host (Johnathan) was super attentive and friendly which made the holiday so much more comfortable and easy going. The rooms were super comfortable , sturdy and secure. The kitchen area was ideal for cooking and socialising with loads of hang out spots. the hostel was in a great spot for going surfing which of course is the most important! Best place I’ve stayed at, I’ve recommended to all my family and friends.

    The hotel was quiet, cleaned everyday and the rooms were so nice and spacious with a massive comfy bed! Felt so relaxed here and its footsteps from the surf and in a great location near the best restaurants and cafe.

    The most beautiful hostel I've ever stayed in. Gorgeous open plan kitchen dining living room with pool overlooking field. Great location being a few minutes walk to the beach and a 20/25 minute walk to Beginners Bay for surfing. Lovely owners, staff and volunteers and a delicious free breakfast everyday.

    The hostel staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always available to make your stay memorable. As a solo female traveler, I found this place safe and welcoming. The hostel's design is stunning, the dormitories are impeccable, and privacy is respected. Additionally, its ideal location just a 2-minute walk from the ocean and 5 minutes from the fantastic surf spot at Santana Beach makes it a perfect choice. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nicaragua.
