Most beautiful beach I've been to in Central America, great staff, good food and drink, and best of all...an outdoor shower! Most days you can catch a baby turtle release as well. More

this was one cool beautiful beach. Nice little laid back surfer inn with cold beer and a great view. We spent a couple of hours relaxing on the beach loungers and walking to the far end of the beach. Another pristine Nica paradise. Getting there is more than half the fun. More

Our room was upstairs, with a huge balkony overlooking the sea, you could push the doors to both sides so you had the whole view. The bathroom inside was clean and... More

However, I had set myself and our party of surfers up in one of the ranchos, and after 45 minutes the staff came over and evicted us with no explanation. We had to squeeze into a different area with other surfers. I saw them do... More
