If you want local flavor, this is the spot. It's about a 3 hour road trip from the airport at Managua and well worth the trip. Filippo and Barbara, the proprietors of Club Surf Popoyo were fantastic hosts. Their homemade Italian dishes satisfied us every afternoon and evening. They have a wood fired pizza oven and made some fantastic pizza,... More

I had such a positive experience at Club Surf Popoyo that I joined tripadvisor so I could post this review. You can surf right in front of the hotel. The beach is lovely, unspoiled, & undeveloped, with 3 foot swells when I stayed there in mid-November. The rooms were clean & comfortable. The hospitality was welcoming and gracious. And the... More

This place isn't flashy or overly manicured, but it does all the important things perfectly. Location is excellent (quick walk to Popoyo beach and far enough from the standing water to the north that it avoids the worst of the mosquitoes that plague Hotel Popoyo). Rooms are simple but clean, with reliable A/C. Staff are friendly and diligent (always hanging... More

Stayed here for 3 weeks in july 2011 and loved it. Clean hotel with really good value for money: AC, hot water shower, wifi and really nice breakfast included. The place has an Italian owner and you can tell because pretty much anything on the menu tastes great (where else would you find perfectly cooked "al dente" pasta in central... More

We came with a group of 5 from North Caroina and did the week surf package. Everything was as advertised and more. We did both boat and truck surf trips and were never disappointed. Our surf guide, Gerald, was awesome. You can walk to Popoyo break or do the trips. All spots were fantastic. Filippo and Barbara as well as... More

What a great place! The best thing about it is that it is right there on the beach! You can sleep with the sound of the waves breaking on the shore and when you wake up in the morning, you just need to walk for 10 seconds to check the surf! You get everything you need... good rooms, internet, phone... More

This place is great. A very nice little hotel...much better than the local hostels, where we spent some time hanging out with friends. Clean. Good food, the staff is so nice here. Filippo arranged rides for us back to the airport which was in the middle of the night...was so nice to have that taken care of and to feel... More

Our stay at Club Surf was excellent. The food was great, the staff was really nice and the rooms were neat and clean. We did the surf package and had a blast visiting different breaks and local attractions. Thanks guys, we had a great time! More

This hotel stays right in front of the beach, excelent location, but, we recommend you rent a car (4x4) with GPS to get to know other spots around. The owners are italian, so the restaurant is the best you can find in the surroundings, and also the price is ok. Surfers can go with their girlfriends... Nice people, safe place,... More
