I discovered this treasure while checking good surf spots, its really good and close to the costa rica border. Beach is wonderful - food is good, though not much for veggies like me . Internet is very fast (for central america) and stable - worked a few hours, then surf :) very recommended - if you come from costa rica,... More

I stayed at Playa Hermosa beach hotel for 3 nights during Semana Santa. It was the perfect getaway from town. Every morning we woke up and checked the surf from our balcony. The hotel his walking distance to multiple surf breaks so we surfed a different break each day of our visit. Surfboards and boogie boards are available for rent... More

A quaint hotel with a very naturesque feel. Not for one craving luxury and amenities, but rather for the visitor desiring a quiet and isolated hotel with a wood cabin feel, and large balconies with stunning views. A one-minute walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern Nicaragua (not to mention incredible surfing). Definitely recommend.

Wonderfull place to have relaxing time , i love the sunset and the waves. The beach is huge and there was nobody on it. Looks like a private beach. We had a room with an ocean view . the bed was comfortable. No bugs of any kind . I liked the balcony .

I've stayed here at this hotel/hostal a couple times now, and have enjoyed it very much. It is really off the beaten track, however still close enough to SJdS that you don't feel totally isolated.The beach here "Playa Hermosa" (beautiful beach in Spanish.).....really is one of the nicest beaches I've seen in Nicaragua. It's a large beach, approximately 3km if... More

Beautiful spot. Allows you to catch really early waves and walk the blackened beach by night. Really depends on what you're looking for. When we stayed in 2011/2012, there were few others so the nights were wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Infrastructure is fairly basic and unless you bring your own food, you're eating what they make in the restaurant... with... More

I've stayed at Playa Hermosa a few times, but now they have electricity (fans!) and a solar system that offers lights and fans all night. The food keeps getting better, they have baby turtles (part of their environmental program) almost every time I'm out there, and the employees are all very friendly. Its rustic to be sure, but for the... More

The Good: Very cool rustic, cabin room on top floor, overlooking the beach. Bathroom and room were both clean and fine. The beach is simply stunning. Great for people of all ages, especially kids. Tons of nature to investigate and great surf for beginners. The restaurant serves good food and strong drinks, which is a huge plus for me! The... More

On a positive note the beach is incredible. It is remote and worth the drive down isolated bumpy road as it is so beautiful. However, I would not stay at the "hotel" more like a bunk house. We traveled with 3 children and got bit all over. It took us 2 nights to figure out after nighttime bites and bloody... More
