Hostal Villas Mexico, hotel in Rivas

Located in San Juan del Sur, a 3-minute walk from Marsella Beach, Hostal Villas Mexico provides accommodations with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared...

We booked with Hostal Villas Mexico because it was budget friendly and close to Maderas. At first we felt a little out of place because no one spoke a lick on English and there were no other English speaking travellers there either, but as we were exploring the place a couple of ladies who work there introduced them selves and took the time to show us around and patiently dealt with our bad Spanish as we tried to communicate how appreciative we were that they were showing us the beautiful land. Apart from the free breakfast and coffee they had already made us, they also made us the most delicious fried fish rice and chips for lunch, and invited us for dinner! They were so accommodating lovely and sweet! I sadly can’t remember all their names…. Maria, Janet? I think haha And…. Gosh I don’t remember but three main ladies seem to run the joint and they are awesome! We joked around, got hugs, and it ended up being a very lovely stay. Cabana #2 was sooo clean, had a mini fridge, air conditioning, super comfy bed, tv with cable with lots of movies you can swap to English, Clean ensuite that provided plenty of TP, clean towels soap and shampoo. We Felt super safe and secure, as there is security at the front gate, and again breakfast, coffee and packed lunch included (though we had ours there) it was great! Very quiet and chill and surrounded by lots of trees and plants and they are adding more diversity and plants all around, can’t wait to revisit in 10 years to see how it looks! Super super close to marsella and 5 minute Moto ride to Maderas.

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.

    The price was very good and the room had everything we needed, including a cord to hang out clothes. It is not a fancy place. We liked the vibes and the atmosphere. The family that runs the hostel is super nice and helpful.

    There were only two redeeming qualities this hostel possessed to make our stay somewhat bearable: the volunteers and the proximity to Playa Amarillo. The volunteers were terrific, very friendly, very helpful, and excelled at giving the place some energy. The hostel is located just five minutes from Playa Amarillo, which was some fantastic surfing while we were there and something I would recommend to anyone that surfs, especially beginner to intermediate surfers.

    It was very pleasant stay in this family hostel. It is little bit far from city center and bus station, but you can easily walk or take a cheap taxi. ATM, shops or restaurants are few minutes far. It's quiet and safe place with good kitchen and wifi. Hosts also let us do our laundry there. I can't recommend more. I have to say that hosts were so friendly and price is more than good.

    Max and Martha were the perfect hosts! This property is their home and they really make you feel like it’s also your home. I stayed one night after visiting Ometepe Island and before an early flight the following morning. They offered to pick me up from the ferry and helped me organise the fastest and cheapest transport to get to Managua early the following day. They even woke up and took me to the bus stop around the corner at 4am and checked in with messages to make sure I arrived safe! Such a lovely, homely experience!

    The location of the hostel is just perfect. Small cabins surounded by coconut trees. Its remote but you feel safe all the time. 5 min walk to the beautiful beach of Popoyo. Trent couldn't be a better host. In the morning you get an awesome breakfast with fresh fruits from the area and in the evenings Trent will explore the local kitchen with you.

    Great stay at Ruamoko hostel. The owner welcomes you with a smile and kindness. The dormitory is big and spacious there are even 2 bathrooms in the room of 8! The sea is just next door and the atmosphere is really cool in the hostel. I recommend :)

    I really liked our stay in Hostal Maria. She is the cutest ‚mama‘ and makes the best breakfast :) we booked two beds in the dorm and were alone for our whole stay, that was funny. so if you just need a place to sleep and not for party or meeting people or cooking your own stuff this is super worth it for the cheap price!
