Very happy here! Views were stunning. Staff was incredible and transportation charges they organized were fair. The compost toilet took a little getting used to and the smell wasn't unbearable but if it's the kind of thing that bothers you ask for a flush toilet.

Just amazing! :-)

Reviewed By NicoleD4646

I would give a higher rating if I could. This hotel is outstanding! I was the only guest and stayed in the room with ocean view. Oh my God... It was just amazing! The room itself is super nice, comfy big bed, huge bathroom, big closet with safe, desk and even some fresh flowers in the room, own terrace with sofa and hammock, stunning view. The beach is really clean and waves aren't too high, so you can go and enjoy swimming. If you feel more like having a good time in the pool: it looked very good, too. (I'm just more the ocean person, that's why I didn't use it.) Tracy manages the hotel and is a real super host. :-) She is always making sure you're fine. She took me to La Flor and offered to pick me up at any time I wanted - even in the middle of the night. Staff is also really nice, helpful, friendly and always smiling. I felt super welcome and like at home. Breakfast was fantastic: gallo pinto, eggs, really good bread, jam, fruits, fresh juice, coffee. ...and a lot! Lunch/ dinner would also be available. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience! I loved it and if I come back to Nicaragua I'll definitely be back at La Veranera. :-) Some organizational things: There is a restaurant next door and a small tienda is also around the corner. There is a bus from/ to San Juan 3 times a day. If you come by car, a sedan car will do it in dry season. But for rain season, you might even struggle with a 4x4. (On the way back we had to cross a river and only the bus dared to go.) If you wonder whether you could cross the border to Costa Rica at Frontera de Conventillos or at least use that road next to the boarder to/from Sapoá: I was told by several people it's not possible.

Great Value, Quiet Part of Town

Stayed 3 nights deluxe room. Oversized room with effective AC, WiFi, furnished balcony, the pool & gardens. well maintained & unexpected shuttle service to beaches & downtown sister hotel, Oro Hostel. helpful multilingual staff & extra service. eg coffee before opening & great breakfasts & Hotel Van took me to Costa Rican border. You are in a quiet part of San Juan del Sur, 2 blocks from the beach, walkable to the action downtown. Nothing fancy but a comfortable stay value priced in a good neighbourhood. Older reviews (I use Tripadvisor & took a chance) were with different management , I was well treated well & recommend.

Ok hotel

Reviewed By myrna415

The pluses: very close to the ferry station, beautiful gardens, awesome pool, friendly service. Air conditioning, wifi, and cable in all rooms. Minuses: rooms were small, dark, bathrooms very tight. No hot water. Our bathroom had no ventilation other than the door to the room. Our room was also next to the kitchen and was noisy starting at 6 am. The breakfast was not memorable. Overall good place to explore the island. My 8 year old daughter loved the pool and the parrots.

Perfect views in the midst of nature.

Reviewed By 974jeroens

La Omaja has the best location on the island. The views are really amazing; a sunset with a vulcano as dramatic backdrop cannot be found in many places... The gardens are lush and beatiful as well and the cabana's perfectly placed to give you the most of the views and lots of privacy. Food is good too and the freshly made juices are a real treat and very affordable. You are pretty close to nature and expect a spider or two, but also expect howler monkey's visting up in the trees now and then! It's an easy walk to a lovely pier in the lake where you can watch the birdlife or the stars at night; this is not a swimmimg location, but that can be done nearby. Staff is helpfull in arranging all kinds of activities if you don't have your own transportation. The pool is a bit smaller than it looks in the pictures but great to watch the sunset. There's excellent wifi at the restaurant, but not at the cabanas.

Nice stay

Reviewed By joannetsarouha

Clean room with nice breakfast options everyday. Big bed and bath with really hot water! Parking is available for scooters or cars. One bad thing was that our safe was broken so we couldn’t use it and the hotel didn’t do anything about that when we complained. The island is still developing and you are in nature so there were spiders and centipedes in our room, which is make my husband kill. But it’s to be expected in such a remote part of the world. Not many dinner options nearby, just two or three tiny restaurants. So, if you don’t have transportation you are kind of stuck with those options.

Very tranquil and customer service was amazing (especially Lisbeth and Lijah). Lisbeth made us feel at home and Lijah made sure we ate well and offered us a delivery service when we were hungry. I would definitely return here and recommend this place to others. If you can, get the suite at the top where You can see everything.
