Hostal Villas Mexico, hotel in San Juan del Sur

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.

Hostal Namborus, hotel in Rivas

Hostal Namborus is located in Rivas, a 4-minute walk from San Juan del Sur Beach and 1.6 miles from Nacascolo.

Virgil was very helpful with advice on transportation to surf breaks and on board rentals. The room was clean and had everything I needed: a comfy bed, shower, toilet, and air conditioning. A helpful staff member was always present at the front desk and I felt very safe.

    Very clean, really well decorated, rooms and bathrooms are a good size. Lenin was a great and helpful host. So far the best hostel I have stayed in. 5 mins away from the main bus stop and in a great location. Really recommend a stay here.

    Great location just 3' downhill wallk to the beach. Pretty organised with lockers, ensure bathrooms, breakfast and they also accept cards (without additional charge). It's pretty as sociable as I like and doesn't become a party hostel. Had a great stay!

    Cute hostel with private rooms a few meters from the beach and the main street where most shops and restaurants are located. Our room was quite small but very cheap. The hosts are nice and try to help when you have a question.
