Jared was an incredible surf instructor, I'd easily consider it as my top reason to return! As an advanced beginner focused on learning and improving, I appreciated how Jared helped me hone in on my fundamentals, including making key corrections to my stance that other instructors had missed. By the end of my 3 days, I was able to trim the wave a lot more consistently. Yoga with the instructor Vibe was also amazing, and the rooms and grounds were beautiful. Food is good, but because the menu doesn't change, by day 3, we'd eaten our way through most of the menu and started craving more variety. The vibe of the place trends professional, which I'd say differs from the more warm/when-you're-here-you're-family vibes of some other places I've stayed in Nicaragua and Costa Rica- it's all a matter of personal preference. Overall, Malibu Popoyo was incredible value for a great experience!…

Just got back from a weeklong stay at Malibu Popoyo and made an account just to leave a review. I had an enormously fun time staying here. The rooms are really well designed and the layout of the hotel itself feels both communal and secluded. The native landscaping lends to the secluded feeling as well. The pool is gorgeous and you have a great view of it from the open-concept restaurant/bar. Beyond the great design, the staff was really warm and friendly. They learn your name (and help you with your Spanish if you want) and by the end of a weeklong stay they feel like new friends. The guided surf trips are great too - an expat resident runs the program and you're accompanied by two locals who have been surfing in that area since they could walk. They'll know exactly where to go for your skill level and where the best waves are at any time. Balance it out with yoga in their palapa and treat yourself to the wonderful food and drinks, go on some of their locally led cultural tours, have local cowboy Don Flavio take you out on a sunset beach horse ride, or just chill in the pool. Really recommend it and I'll be coming back for sure.…

I loved everything about my experience at Malibu Popoyo. The correspondence with staff prior to my trip was super efficient and detailed, they made me feel very safe and welcome and I had a great idea what to expect. The coordination of airport transfers despite my awful arrival and departure times was super helpful and the drivers they arranged were top notch. The space is beautifully designed and I literally wouldn’t change one thing about the set up or my room. The bed was literally the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had on vacation, the bedding etc top notch. Air conditioner and fan perfect and bugs a total non I issue. The food and drinks exceeded my expectations. Super fresh healthy and lots of options. The kitchen and bar staff very sweet and ensure a satisfying experience each interaction. I had no idea that Malibu Popoyo didn’t just have a surf board rental guy but a truly exceptional surf guide. Jared was beyond. Such a solid guy and unbelievably helpful with not only surf detail but I learned so much about the country, history, land and more. I Have been a surfer for quite some time and been to many places but had I’d known what a gem they had as a surf guide I would’ve stayed three times longer I’ve already told many people about this perfect place so maybe I should keep it a secret?…

My husband took me there in December 2019, it was FANTASTIC. We had planned to make Malibu Popoyo a yearly or twice yearly trip after our first trip. Then 2020 happened. We finally made it back in April 2021. Originally a couples trip but it turned into a boys trip with a big swell hitting. We were there for 10 days and it was amazing. Room. Location. Staff. Service. Pool. Food. Drinks. SURF. Everything was great! Jared, our surf guide was with us daily, we went to many surf spots and the boys were ecstatic, as a beginner surfer, I was at first intimated by the size of the waves. Jared and I stayed on the inside, I caught more waves than I ever have, I had a blast I never felt scared and it is 100% because of Jared. BEST Surf Guide EVER. Elgin is a great guide too, but he was practicing with the National Nica team. Yes, Elgin is that good and a surf guide for Malibu Popoyo. The Malibu Popoyo boat was also fantastic. Best boat in Nica, we took it to several surf spots and also fishing. My husband caught a 36 pound tuna! This was definitely one of our best surf trips and we are already planning another trip this year back to Malibu Popoyo.…

Popoyo is a gorgeous resort with an amazing staff! The rooms are beautifully decorated & super comfortable. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Delicious food and coffee at the restaurant and I really love the all inclusive package. They also host local events and it’s great to interact with the community here.
