My best friend and I just spent three nights and three days at Los Cardones and were sad to leave. The staff (everyone from the owners to the managers to the Nica wait staff, cooks, and massage therapists) were incredibly attentive and wonderfully kind. The food was delicious - there was a lot, so ask for smaller portions if you... More

The beach break directly in front of the lodge works for a couple of hours either side of high tide. Great surf. The lodge is simple. No electricity, drop toilets but beautifully done, lots of cabanas each with it's own shade, lounge chairs and hamocks. Suitable for kids. Local staff are friendly and, great and paid well. All sorts of... More

Los Cardones is a little slice of heaven. Excellent staff, great food, and fun waves. This was our second time visiting Los Cardones and we'll be back again. Special thanks to JB, Travers, Captain Dan, and the whole Nica crew for making our trip even better. More

It is very laid back and so cool to relax on the hammocks with a cold beer. The evening meal was lovely and everyone eats together. Rooms were comfortable, remember this is an... More

no A/c, no TV, no power outlets, no lights, no flush toilets, no hot water. Absolutely loved it. Have been back three times now and will stay again next time I am in the country. Friendly staff, good vibes, always a wonderful mix of guests. Great food, and lots of Tona's. Will see you in the line up. More

My two friends and I can attest to all of the great testimonials being ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Everyone at Los Cardones is so kind, considerate and really treat you as an individual, special guest. Laure (Owner) is an AMAZING hostess. She provides awesome customer service and as a great bonus, is also a great person whom my friends and I enjoyed... More

Wow. Beautiful ecolodge about 2 hours outside Managua, Nicaragua. I am not a surfer but was really attracted to this place for its remote location. I tried to surf and, admittedly didn't make it...but thoroughly enjoyed trying! If you're a serious surfer you should bring your own board as the selection was limited. The food was absolutely delicious and the... More

I'm a little bit behind in writing this review but needlesss to say, Los Cardones Surf Lodge has been, for the past 5 years, the best resort I've been to in Nicaragua. If you want to surf all day, drink beer, eat incredible food (3 meals a day) and meet people who share the same kind of stoke for the... More
