9/10 Wonderful! (60 reviews)
"The place was amazing itself but there’re crabs everywhere around the property due to hurricane season. The breakfast was amazing. I book a private dinner the dinner was amazing. The room was great but there too many crabs in the property that ruined the experience."

"This was our second stay here. We came back as it is the place to go if you go to San Juan Del Sur and want to relax and be away from the busy life of town AND there is a beach nearby.
