Went down for a week expecting a nice relaxing place with good food and a mellow atmosphere (with good surf to compliment it). Ended up being blown away by how amazing the place is! Incredible food, very friendly staff, always someone fun to talk to, and a mini pipe on the beach to boot! I can't speak highly enough of... More

Buena Onda is the best spot! All the crew are super kind. Food is really good. Rooms are amazingly clean. You have everything you need. Plus, you got only a short walk to the surf. Bring your skateboard too! The mini is killing! Paz! Gabriel Quebec, Canada

We stayed here for three nights. We spent the first night in a deluxe room which for 69$ (we chose no air con, so it was cheaper) was probably not worth it if you don't care about tv. For 29$, are moved to the standard Oceania which was fine. The shared bathrooms are clean and the hot water is a... More

Buena Onda was even better than we expected. Philip, Sara, Connie, and Paul were fantastic hosts. They really created a friendly and safe environment. The room, pool, dinner specials (pizza night was fun, and we heard bbq night was also), cool people, and proximity to surf! And, there is a range of accomodations. So, no matter what your budget is,... More

Thank you very much to Phillip, Sara, Darlin, Mari and the rest of the crew for being so nice and friendly with us. I honestly have no complaints. The food, the room, the crew, the service, their affordable prices, even the people that stays there are great. We are planning to come back again on November. You can't go wrong... More

I've been to Buena Onda a handful of times now and every time we come to Nicaragua we go there. The service is perfect the workers are so friendly. I love the food and how every night there is a different special, so many amazing beaches within walking distance to go and catch great surf at all times of the... More

Clean, friendly, good food, great value, good location. My only complain is that for some strange reason the internet connection on my MacBook would not worked, but they tried very hard to solve the problem.

I have been to Buena Onda three times now over the past 2 years and I figure I should get around to writing a review. Philip and Sara run a nice property that is the best value in and around Playa Santana. There are nicer places to stay (you could rent a villa in Rancho Santana, but you will pay... More

After staying in at a homestay for a month Buena Onda was just what we needed. The property is like a small resort which is good since there is basically not much else around. My wife and I stayed for four days in both a private room and the 4 bed dorm. Both very nice. The shared bathroom is kept... More
