I love this place. Came here to visit the local clinic that I support. Everything was clean, everyone was nice, the location was away from the hustle and bustle of citylife. They had everything you could ask for to stay "connected", wifi and cell phone service were great the whole time. From the moment I arrived in Managua, I met... More

Buena Onda is a beautiful, humble, and remarkably amazing resort to be a part of rather you are planning a family vacation, a honeymoon, or just back packing through the area. It sits right on the beach of Playa Santana- no need to walk anywhere for good surf! The decor is modern and fun, and the rooms are spotless. The... More

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at Buena Onda--Philip, Sarah and Connie were all super helpful and friendly. The accommodations were comfortable and being so close to the beach was wonderful. The surf was down while we were there but we were still able to find some surf down the beach a ways and you could tell the... More

We enjoyed Buena Onda very much. We like being away from the crowds and while Buena Onda was fully occupied during our stay, it wasn't crowded. Our 18 year-old daughter is an experienced rider and likes to go places where she can ride horses. The stables at Rancho Santana are within walking distance and provided horses that greatly surpassed her... More

By far the best spot on our 6-weeks trip through Nicaragua in November/December 2011. We really needed time off to relax and that's what we could in that wonderful place called "Buena Onda"! Everything, really everything suited perfectly! The always freshly prepared food was delicious and we highly recommend the special-dinners, those are AMAZING!! We usually started days with long...

I write this review with a heavy heart - because, while I do wish all the success to Buena Onda - i'd also love to keep it my secret! :D Me and my friend headed out to Nicaragua for the first time, and we booked what was literally the cheapes accomodation in the area. Thinking 'we could stay here' then... More

Buena Onda was an enjoyable place to access the beach. The owners and staff were wonderful, and the setting spectacular. The food was first rate. The owner was especially nice and gave me an escort to the local clinic when I was stung by a sting ray on the beautiful beach. We also exchanged reading lists and talked about the... More

My husband and I stayed at Buena Onda for 3 nights this month. The resort is stunning and the attention to detail on the finish of the buildings and landscaping is excellent. Our room was very comfortable, nicely decorated and clean (maid service daily). The only suggestion we would make would be to have a couple of chairs outside the... More

My husband and I went to Playa Santana with four friends of ours and we spent 5 nights at Buena Onda. The resort is absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious every night. The rooms were clean and the staff was lovely. What really made our stay special were the boat trips to perfect uncrowded surf that the owner Phillip... More
