Good Stay

The stay was great, I had a blast with my family and the rooms were comfy, although I do have to point out that my Villa had an issue with one of the doors, the lock that should've kept one of the doors close was broken or something, thing is, it was open. Thankfully the villa had 2 bedrooms that coud be locked from the inside, but it is a downside.

Very nice but note that you have to cross a river to get there specially when it rains recomend to have a 4x4, it’s close to the town in car too far to go walking. and if you’re an early bird you won’t be able to drink coffee or anything before 8 Am which was an inconvenience for us since we were awake early. Also if you want to check out or leave before 7:30 AM you have to let them know ahead of time because there’s only the security guard and he’s not allowed to let anybody go before the receptionist gets there to make sure you don’t have any bills pending at the restaurant or any charges pending. The beds are very uncomfortable and sounds like it’s going to break but it’s affordable price the pool was clean and it’s not that deep perfect for kids

Everything was good except the shower, hardly any flow and expensive extras, like $3 water, but they're trying to make a living too!

They have bugs in the rooms. Very scary. My room was upgraded but bugs in the rooms. Spiders, ants and even a centipede. Staff is really nice though. But try avoiding staying here due to bugs..

I paid $150 a night, and the room didn’t have towels, soap, shampoo, and the TV cable didn’t work. The parking space was limited, and they knocked on my door at 7 am to move my car so other people could get out.

The facility is not too bad. Quite and pleasant. It’s just a bit too far from the city. Also, you have to cross a river and there is no bridge. If you take a taxi it may not take you all the way to the ranch if it rains or rained days before and the river water is too high. Not bad for the cost value per night of stay. Friendly staff.

This property ad was deceptive. The drone shot shows a "water park". It was one average sized pool with water. What appeared in the picture to be other pools was cement painted blue but dry (not joking). Worst of all is that it advertises to be in San Juan del Sur. SJDS is five actually miles away, and the last 1 mile is down a long dirt road crossing a river (no bridge). Since it rains nearly every day in SJDS, this "road" is continually a muddy jeep trail. We almost didn't get there to check in and we damaged our rental car trying and we were nearly stranded at night on a muddy road since there was no night receptionist. Of course, it is nearly impossible to book a room last minute in SJDS so this made matters worse. Fortunately, my paid guide was able to use his influence to first get us access via the security guard to our room after we arrived, and then get us a room at another hotel for our second night. Bottom line: If you want an off-road adventure and you have a high clearance 4x4 mud rig, this might be the right hotel for you. For people who want a nice hotel in San Juan Del Sur, avoid this hotel at all cost. Although the hotel promised to refund my second day since we could not access the hotel due to their muddy road and 20' river crossing, it has not refunded the money thus far and it has been five days. Sadly, the staff was very pleasant and seem to be victims of dishonest and unscrupulous ownership/management. AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COST.
