HC Liri Hotel, hotel in San Juan del Sur

The HC Liri Hotel is located on the beach and is a 5 minutes' walk from San Juan del Sur, It features a swimming pool, private parking and a terrace with ocean view.

I loved the location, the ambiamce of the place . The room was comfy. enough towels were available, and the bed was good enough to get 8 hr sleep. Wifi was strong in my room, I was upstairs with view of San Juan del Sur beach. The breakfast was very tasty fruit, eggs, toast, coffee and gallo pinto as well. Also the owner was very charming cool dude I would definitely return, the beach access was amazing. Right on the playa!

Hostel Tropical and CoWorking, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Hostel Tropical and CoWorking is located in San Juan del Sur, within 1148 feet of San Juan del Sur Beach and 1.5 mi of Nacascolo.

Excellent choice for digital nomads and/or those looking for a clean quiet hostel in the center of San Juan del Sur. Spent a week here working remotely and the Internet was fast, stable and battery back up kept it functioning when the electricity in the town went out once for twenty minutes. Friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and very affordable room price for an otherwise bit pricey town. Everything was clean and functioned well and was very appreciative of the coworking room having AC.

    There's something magical about this little beach community.

    There's something magical about this little beach community. The vibe and energy are great- restaurants and bars with excellent food & drink everywhere. Locals and tourists are friendly and helpful. We know a tiny bit of Espanol but were able to communicate with no issues, and English is spoken more prevalently than I had expected. Can't wait to visit again!!

    It is a busy town, with lots of surfers and retired folks living or visiting. Lots of motorbikes for getting around. Some excellent restaurants along the beach front including Henry's Iguana Bar, and Maggies' Restaurant up the street. Good fish tacos at little kiosk. Great beach walks, lovely sunsets and a few hikes to do. One to the Jesus protecting the bay and the other to the lighthouse on the opposite side of bay. Wear good shoes for those.

    Great little beach town with numerous bars and restaurants with amazing sunset views. Very walkable even in flip flops. Not a bad meal to be found! Lots of fun places to watch American football if you like that.

    everything is walking distance, you can get to the know the town easily just walking around. I liked Vivian restaurant, nice place, clean, friendly staff. the beach was full of trash... plastic trash, cups, bottles, cookie wraps, cans... trash all over the sand and in the ocean and for some reason nobody seems to care. it was very impressive and quite sad. Looking Good Surf House was a great place to stay!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting! pretty calm in the day and evening, not sure about after that! we were there 2 days and for us that was just right. We went to Remanso beach one day and Maderas beach the other. Rented boards at each and tried to surf! Maderas waves were better, at least when we were there in April. We were at the beaches for about 5 hours each day. I didn't love the fact that Remanso had no shade and neither seemed to have much for facilities, except the few bars/restaurants that you kinda had to eat/drink at in order to have some shade or a shower or somewhere to hang out. Not really my favourite scene. SJDS itself was small town seeming in the center and easy to get around walking and lots of food options and the beach in town was great to explore with the kids, swim or watch sunset. It's easy to get in and our of either on bus from Rivas or taxi- 20$ from the Ometepe Ferry for 4 of us. 25$ to the border organized through Casa Oro.

    In the town there are a lot of open sewers and the smell is bad in many places. There is a lot of trash here and there. There is a lot of trash around the beach. The food is ok, the prices are alright. The better prices are away from the beachfront. Tamarindo is a much nicer and cleaner beach. The Nica's need to clean up the trash and the open sewers.

    Morgan’s Rock sits in a fantastic spot, right on a perfect beach you’ll likely have all for yourself (or almost) with sunsets guaranteed. We found the staff superb! Our bungalow was a piece of tranquil eco luxury in which we felt super comfortable. Food is great, clearly with Nicaraguan character, and at its best. You’ll see monkeys all around. We actually had a sloth sitting in the tree besides our bungalow. A stay is pricey but comes highly recommended if you are looking for tranquility in a high end eco setting.

    Very friendly host, with good English. Good breakfast, either Nicaraguan standard or a waffle. Clean nice room, pretty small but spacey enough for me. Enough of drawers. Recently renovated surprisingly large shower, with nice tiles but only cold water, which though seems to be the case in most places. I really liked it and I’m likely to go back if I ever need to spend overnight at San Juan del Sur downtown again.

    Right in the center of San Juan del Sur, every commodities are in walking distance. Javier is incredibly helpful and available for any questions you may have. They are a lovely family business, very friendly and welcoming. The hostel is cosy and has all the basic things you may need. We were staying in a private room with AC, perfect for the few nights we spent there. I would go back :)

    ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! The managers were wonderful and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The food was the best that I have had in Nicaragua. The breakfast was included in the stay. Don’t forget to try the banana pancakes. All of the items on the menu were delicious. We were there for a week and had them all! A big shout out to everyone at Hush Maderas!

    The place itself is not nice at all, not very charming or anything, but has the necessary things (beds, bathrooms, mirror, fan) and is what you can expect for the price. It does the trick for a cheap place to stay. No AC, we didnt encounter much in Nicaragua, but the fan above the bed was very powerful and kept us cool throughout the night which was great.

    To avoid confusion just consider this as a hostel and not a hotel. If i considered this as a hotel its not very good... but as a hostel i like it. I stayed 2 nights and this as a good value for the area. The location is perfect and it includes a very good breakfast. The room was large but very basic. The staff were amazing... very nice

    We only stayed for one night while we sorted out some logistics for our extended stay in San Juan del Sur. It is a very basic, but charming, old house that was quiet for sleeping, and in a very easy location for arrival in SJDS. The staff were pleasant and the included breakfast was good. The air conditioner worked well.
