San Juan del Sur hotellia

Plussat: The staff is great. German and Rodrigo were amazing hosts. Breakfast was delicious.

Miinukset: Parking space is limited and the entrance doesn't look as good as the rest of the hotel.

Plussat: Great location on the beach with a nice pool and friendly staff who prepare a tasty breakfast with plenty of coffee.

Miinukset: The location is just across the creek from a very loud dance club. If you stay over the weekend, bring noise canceling headphones and don’t take a room with a view. Noise is at a truly astounding loud, thumping level which continues to 6am in the morning.

Plussat: Very friendly staff! Nice view about the ocean! Clean and cosy.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I like that this is a small hotel right on the beach with a very friendly staff. They were willing to help with anything you needed. The breakfast was excellent!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, close enough to walk to everything but far enough from the action for relaxing. Pool was very nice and there are lot's of lounging options throughout the hotel.

Plussat: The staff is very friendly, is a beautiful house with the perfect location, you will be welcome by the owner it self, the breakfast is huge and delicious, they sell beer and soft drinks at the spot, overall is the perfect place to stay at Sn Juan del Sur....thank you German and His staff...

Plussat: It has a great view of the San Juan bay. The employees are very nice and accommodating.

Miinukset: The bathrooms were okay because sometimes the water pressure wasn’t well. Also, the parking situation is poor and very hard to get in and out of.

Plussat: Great location & delicious breakfast!

Plussat: Nice and quiet location on the beach. Good breakfast, nice pool and sunbeds, comfortable (but very small) rooms.

Miinukset: There’s a small river (larger at high tide) you have to cross when walking to the center of SJDS, meaning wet sandy feet each time you enter or leave the hotel.

Plussat: Lovely helpful staff, great breakfast. Gorgeous views from the hammock outside our room.

Miinukset: The first night of our stay there was a loud party by the river until the early hours.

Miinukset: Lacation is not too good.

Plussat: Facility was nice, well located, and comfortable. Rooms were good, and staff were friendly. Victoria was nice and accommodating, and she has some sweet dance moves.

Miinukset: Only complaint was the security guy’s Phone. It kept going off - dinging for each text he received, as well as the music streaming from its small speaker. Putting it on silent would have been better.

Plussat: -The lovely pool we had for ourselves. -The more than excellent shower -The "terrace tower" with excellent view over the bay -Comfortable bed with cool airco

Plussat: Very spacious room, bathroom a bit small for that size room. Plenty of room to make a bigger bathroom. Enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking the water and city. The common areas were clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: I was charged $7.00 to use the washer and dryer. Would be a nice touch to have small continental breakfast for guest that don't want to get up and go out right away.

Plussat: Simple but it had all we needed

Miinukset: Staff was hardly ever around, luckily they were there when we checked in though.

Plussat: This is 'a home made for travelers, by travelers' and I absolutely agree. It was our home away from home. It's a block away from everything so perfect location, the room was spacious. Nice big bed, a/c, a really nice hot shower. There's a little pool to chill in, a living room area with couches and a kitchen. Yader was really nice and helped us with everything. This was the best accommodation we stayed at in Nicaragua!

Miinukset: That we didn't stay longer!

Plussat: Air con worked well, bed was comfortable, and pool was great, right beside the kitchen living area. Good (cold) water pressure in the shower, and the manager spoke good English - what more do you want?

Plussat: Relaxing excellent attention, centric, cool place

Plussat: Great location, staff is wonderful one of my favorite places to stay in town

Plussat: Great quiet location very close to the beach and close to the town center, easy access. We had our own kitchen and terrase, and there are several supermarkets nearby. Spacious bathroom. Friendly and very helpful host.

Miinukset: Kitchen utensils were old.

Plussat: Great location, pool, quiet, safe

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I liked that it was outside of the city by a couple kilometers. The view was amazing and the villa itself was spacious and clean.

Plussat: The space was nice and large and the a/c worked well. The staff were all very nice and the pool was nice to hang out at.

Miinukset: There was NO hot water in the downstairs bathroom or the kitchen! There was hot water in t upstairs shower but it was very dangerous. It went from cold to scolding and back to cold. We were never able to get it to work correctly. Every night the place was crawling with ants and I don’t mean a few ants, I mean big red ants everywhere. The toilet, the walls, the beds. Everywhere.

Plussat: The view was grate! The privacy of the villas was excellent.

Plussat: everything great, really good value for your money

Miinukset: The master room was a bit noisy when it was windy outside, other than that all good

Plussat: Beautiful historic hotel with an awesome view of the bay. Quiet.

Miinukset: The staff was unfriendly and seems burdened to provide service. They were seen on their phones instead of tending to our table for breakfast/drinks/dinner. This is different from other hotels in Nicaragua I have recently visited.

Plussat: Our room was comfortable and had a beautiful view! Great location!

Miinukset: I thought the staff was very cold and uncaring. maybe because of the more corporate feel as opposed to a smaller family run hotel. I have stayed in hotels all over the world, and worked in a high-end hotels in the US and never once have heard of being charged for an early check in. We had breakfast included and took advantage of that the first morning, the breakfast was unedible! Scrambled eggs that looked like soup and practically raw bacon... When the waiter finally asked if it was okay, as I had not touched it, and I said no, could I please just have some fruit, he told me they didn't have any, which seems very hard to believe as there is fruit everywhere! We skipped breakfast the following days. As we where leaving we asked for a bottle of water, (as they had been included during our stay), they told us we had to pay for it now as we had checked out 30 minutes prior. Really??? How petty! We spent the most amount of money here than on any other hotel in Nicauragua, and granted it had a beautiful view and location, however it is the little things that make me want to spend extra money on a hotel! Unfortunately we will not return!

Plussat: The view is amazing as is the location. And the breakfast is pretty good.

Miinukset: The staff was not super helpful and the facilities were just okay. They look better in the pictures.

Plussat: Location and well maintained The bed and room were excellent.

Plussat: Beautifull colonial building, well maintained. Very clean and comfortabele

Miinukset: Some of the personell seem to be not very interested. Unpleasant surprise to have to pay 50 dollars extra for tax, which should be included in the Total cost. Breakfast options limited

Plussat: Sangria was good!

Miinukset: The staff wasn’t friendly compared to all the other spots in Nicaragua. We really just slept there sat by the pool maybe once or twice. We had breakfast twice but last day switched it up because that was also just okay. Just expensive for Nicaragua and also other guest at the hotel had the same type of room for less and some paid more. Little weird prices were so different.

Miinukset: Room are small, no very clean, and dark. But good location.

Plussat: Good towels. Good air conditioning. Comfortable areas for lounging. Complimentary water bottles daily. Quiet. Strong hair dryer. Great view. Walkable. Fluffy robes, even though they’re too thick for this climate.

Miinukset: Pool is tiny. When there are two children I the pool, there’s no comfortable space for anyone else. Our room wasn’t cleaned until almost noon even though I specifically requested at reception that it be cleaned while we went for a walk. There’s no desk chair. No convenient place to hang clothes on hangers.

Plussat: pools, location, food, almost everything

Miinukset: staff doesn't know much, was charged more for first 2 nights basic room then booked a new reservation for half price and given suite. all down to who's on duty I think. loved the place but feel that was ripped off first part of stay.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: room has weird odor. Cleaning stuff was spraying some air freshener but afternoon odor came through. Payment problems

Plussat: The breakfast was great. The pool was very good. The ambiance was excellent.

Miinukset: The room was very dark. The bed and pillows were not comfortable. The shower was not very good.

Plussat: The pictures don’t do the property justice! The most adorable place I have ever stayed! Immaculate property! FRIENDLIEST STAFF! Most delicious breakfast! I can not say enough about how fantastic our stay was!!

Miinukset: The mattress was a little hard but totally ok

Plussat: A quiet place to relax and to clear your mind with a book next to the pool

Miinukset: Not enough beer hajaj

Plussat: The best breakfast anywhere! Fresh juice, fruit, freshly baked muffins, different eggs each day we were there. It was the best meal of the day.

Plussat: Well located hotel with friendly staff

Plussat: Peace and quiet, clean, pretty hotel, breakfast was great.

Miinukset: Beds were very hard. No sun loungers in the sun. Bed sheets not changed in 4 nights we stayed there.

Plussat: The place has lot of charme and room is immense.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, the surroundings are very noisy. There is a rule that you cannot bring guests to your room.

Plussat: Wonderful pleasant staff, thank you! Great Balcony views! Nice basic breakfast in the morning with stellar coffee of course :) we stayed here for 4 days as a central location for our various day trips to surf spots.. My wife and I also stayed at multiple other properties outside of the town... Cute courtyard and also a small pool to ... similar to an arab Riad ... was very welcoming...

Miinukset: Very noisy on the weekends until 3am ... the rooms are not sound proofed at all ... nice rooms, but not sound proofed. This would not be a major problem if there was not a club in the back... and also on the side of the hotel! Yikes! During the week it's no problem... however, staying here Thursday to Saturday night is a bit risky unless you want to party! ... maybe even Sunday... Monday to Wednesday nights it's a nice spot... If your looking to party, then enjoy! If your looking for sleep on the weekends / party nights I suggest researching club parties in advance of a stay here.... I used to DJ and I wasn't in the mood to have a big raaavvveee going on during the weekend, nor was my wife... ha ha! we we're usually getting up very early to go surf...

Miinukset: ALL good here. Service, clean, beautiful views.

Plussat: Is near to the beach

Plussat: The property was beautiful and in a great location in front of the beach and close to everything. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: The WiFi in our room didn’t always work.

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: We had a cockroach in the room.

Plussat: Great location, very good attention from the staff, plus the fact that is Pet friendly... I would definitely come back.

Plussat: Awesome and helpful staff! Alfredo was always available and went above and beyond. The property is very clean and taken care of. We enjoyed having breakfast looking over the beach! The location couldn't be better. All kinds of restaurants and things to do and they will guide you if you need help!

Miinukset: We knew about the noise ahead of time so it didn't bother us. If you are a light sleeper, this is not your place to stay on the weekends. For everyone else, this place was the best deal in town.

Plussat: Best location on Nicaragua's most beautiful beach.

Miinukset: Needs some maintenance.

Plussat: Private beach, great to take a stroll down during the day

Miinukset: Had a wasp inside the apartment, but was understanding to the fact that it’s an area where keeping the doors open during the day is normal.

Plussat: My 4th time to stay here. They always treat us so well. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Love the A/C in the rooms.

Plussat: Good large rooms and hot shower.

Miinukset: The beds are horribly hard.

Plussat: This is my third time to stay at this hotel. The staff is always super-friendly. They are very accommodating. Rooms are clean. A/C works great. Breakfast is simple, but sufficient. Grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. Patio is relaxing.

Miinukset: It would be great if the rooms were a little bigger.

Plussat: The area has been effected by tourism drying up and many places have closed. The Royal Chateau Hotel has managed to stay open, I believe, due to the excellent quality of the service they offer. Genuinely lovely Nicaraguan hospitality.

Plussat: My second time to stay at "Royal". The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Rooms were clean and well stocked with towels, soap and shampoo each day. Rooms were small but adequate. AC worked well. Breakfast was good. Eggs with either toast, pancake or Gallo pinto. Location was close to the beach but away from the louder nightlife.

Plussat: Very comfortable room with excellent air conditioning, good wi-fi, and abundant hot water. In a quiet location but only a block from market and restaurants.

Miinukset: Opaque film on windows obscured what would have been a great view from third floor room.

Plussat: Close to bars and restaurants. Great location

Miinukset: Bed a little hard

Plussat: The calm, the cleanse and the pool. The staff are really kind and I loved my stay!

Miinukset: The entrance to the place, it’s a little complicated for my car

Plussat: Remy was very accommodating to my needs

Plussat: Excellent destination to base yourself family friends or solo while in San Juan del Sur. The rooms are comfortabe beautiful and designs stylish simple. Courtyards decorated with small gardens of course - El Jardin. Bathrooms nicely tiled. Hosts are mucho amable and welcoming to all including friendly dogs. Pool is like a spa kept clean and leaf free from recent windy days on the hilltop. This is our 3rd trip to stay at El Jardin in the last 3 years while in Nicaragua.

Miinukset: Having to leave.

Plussat: The view is spectacular, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent! I am greatful I found this tranquil place. The pool is nice and not overly chlorinated like some I've had. A great value. I highly recommend it! And its right across from Nacascolo beach.

Plussat: swimming pool

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Hyvät ruoat,niin aamiaisella,kuin lounaallakin.

Plussat: The views at El Jardin are absolutely incredible! The staff was EXCELLENT and we really enjoyed the food! The rooms were clean and comfy. There was, AC as well as, a ceiling fan, which was a really nice treat!

Miinukset: This hotel is AMAZING, but it's not near the city center for SJDS - so if you are looking for a hotel walking distance to the bars and restaurants this is not it.

Plussat: I loved the sight, the location, the fact that the owners are there attending their guests, super kind and helpful. Also loved the peace and that it is a family hotel. No mosquoes! I will definitely recommend El Jardin to friends and family and will surely come back!

Miinukset: 1. The pool could need a makeover 2. Menu prices were high compared to what was delivered. 3. Kitchen took too long with meals 4. No TVs :( 5. Such a beautiful sight from room 5 but the restaurant could use a nice coat of painting on its rooftop. 6. More Parking Space 7. You had 0 amenities, based on the rate would be good to provide shampoo and conditioner.

Miinukset: It wasn't worth, the place was dirty they need to remodel, put some small fridge to keep cold water at least, the bed was uncomfortable

Plussat: Location is probably about the only thing you'll get here

Miinukset: The pool was super small and dirty to say the least. Full of debris not to mention it was not filtered. the villas are extremely hot during the day due to the design. The hotel is not well kept, broken pathways to the villas, broken walls all around, holes on the roof of several areas including main areas like the bar, reception, etc. this hotel is 2 years old. The bathrooms do not discharge correctly, we had to add a bucket of water as we pressed the handle to make it work. the shower handle was broken and had to use another villa to shower. The water pressure is nonexistent, you had to get real close to the wall just to get some water. The quality of the food was ok. We only tried the breakfast but other plates look good from where we were. The bar service was all around deficiente and unpolite. Managements was good and gracious but clueless as to what was happening.

Plussat: The towels were very old and only one towel for person

Miinukset: The variety of menu and drinks (cocktails, beer and rum) Towels were very old and only one per person The room has a bad olor. I found in my room two scorpions and I am allergic.

Plussat: Pool clean rooms and aircon

Miinukset: Poor service and shuttle

Plussat: The staff was friendly and provided good service.

Miinukset: The property is in pretty bad shape, the rooms are in poor condition (nothing like the photos) and the issue with the breakfast I paid for and the staff would not serve.

Plussat: The pool and the service by waiters were more than satisfactory and that is about it.

Miinukset: I pay to drink my own beers by the pool as a guest. The facilities are not as shown in the pictures, they seem almost abandon. The pool is the only thing in good shape, the palm roof is falling apart, the skate park is cracked everywhere, and the rock climbing is completely deteriorated. I would not recommend this place nor ever stay there again.

Plussat: Front desk staff was great. Enjoyed breakfast. For our room, there was both a fan and a/c, but we ended up using mostly the fan and a bit of the a/c (for the dogs). Really enjoyed our stay.
