Really sad to be giving this rating as this property had everything to be a 5-star stay, with an amazing view to the town/beach and a nice little pool area etc, but unfortunately my stay was a nightmare! Do not book the room by the pool/with view to the town/beach, this room is right next to the kitchen! It is extremely noisy with staff talking, cooking, people having breakfast etc. honestly it really is that bad! The door to enter the room is inside the kitchen/common area so there’s constant noise of people talking/doing stuff. Also, at the back is the laundry space so you hear the washing machine constantly working & staff are always hanging clothes etc so they can see you through the window, no privacy at all! The “balcony” area advertised is not private! There are tables for the guests to eat outdoor - I got woken up at 7am with the noise of a couple eating breakfast and talking loud right in front of my window. Also another guest sitting in the recliner chair on that space. Also be aware that there is only one lady “in charge” (she’s the cleaner, cook, receptionist, etc) and she only speaks spanish which would be a huge language barrier for a lot of people. Breakfast is super small/simple and location is quite a walk from the beachfront area (super inclined as well so it’s a bit of an effort to get to the top by foot). Not super clean either (had staines in my sheets and towel). Don’t know about the rest of the rooms but I definitely DON’T recommend the one by the pool!

Lots of stairs to walk down the cabin, needs lighting. It was super dark and very unsafe for us at night. Super deep. There were lot of ants and bugs walking around the place. Please be aware of security cameras looking at you, no privacy. With was one of the reasons that I booked this one. Breakfast was late and very simple. No parking lot. Other than that is ok.

Worse place!!! STAY AND DO NOT BOOK!! We got to this place in the middle of a hot day, our taxi took us all the way to the top of the hill, if you did not know this is not in walking distance from the beach. Very steep. But that is not the issue. We were greated by a lady who did not speak a single word in English. No problem, I pulled my translator. She was requesting full payment, that is AFTER we have already paid for our first day through Expedia. She insisted we pay in full although I showed her receipt from Expedia where we were clearly charged for the first day. Did not matter how many times we tried telling her, showing her, we eventually were forced to leave the property (mind you this is basically somebody's house with a tiny pool, almost like a hostel). So we got thrown in the heat, out in the street, she called us a cab. Our driver took us to Hotel Alcazar a nicer and more expensive hotel on the beach strip. Reported this to Expedia, they could care less. Supposedly they tried to contact the place, did not get ahold of anyone within 5 days and sent us an email stating that full charges apply! And yes, we got charger close to $400 and never stayed there. We are now disputing charges with VISA, we will see how this goes. Horrible place, horrible people, beautiful country though, just find a different place and know that Expedia is not Airbnb, crooks hiding behind a corporation. Last time my family will book through Expedia.

Enjoyable

Lovely facility, very relaxing. The lady overseeing the place, Marjorie, is very kind and responsible. I enjoyed my daily breakfast. The rooms need a little TLC and a bit more insect control throughout the property. Be careful with the hill up to the property, it's very steep.

The property has a very nice view of the bay, which makes it worth the stay. The pool and patio area is really nice, clean and enjoyable. It's a short walk from the center of the town but the last part is uphill. The only issue we had is that the room (pool view) we had is right next to the kitchen and there were a lot of ants, and the garbage is next to the room door. The cabin rooms seemed much better options.

My partner and I decided to book this hotel as it seemed like it would be a nicer place to rest than a hostel and to enjoy the pool with great views. For positives, the staff was really nice and present if there was any questions we had. But I really am writing this review because the listing is not accurate to what the place provides. For starters, we booked the bungalow with the balcony and when we arrived, there was another couple who was given our bungalow and we "had the option" between two other side cabins. This was disappointing from the start because we booked the specific cabin we booked for a reason. The listing says there is a stocked mini bar we can help ourselves too, and there was nothing of the sort. The fridge in the kitchen did not have anything either. Keep in mind this "hotel" is a bit of a ways out of town up a steep hill, far from any other places that offer food or drinks. The listing also says "Yoga classes are offered at the gym;" ? There is no "gym" or yoga, just a mat provided for a self guided practice. The wifi would barely stay connected for more than 5 minutes at the cabin. There are dogs in the neighborhood that bark all throughout the night (not the properties fault but it should be noted). This property is nothing like a "hotel" and more like a hostel airbnb that provides the bare minimum for the rooms and experience. With so many options in SJDS, I highly suggest choosing a different place to stay.

Cabin was ok, the guys who worked there seemed nice but the one woman was aggressive. One night we were reading books in our cabin and suddenly she came yelling at us about (maybe) pizza?? no idea what was her problem. Staff do not speak english at all, even though it said at booking site that they do. Overpriced place.

The good: The buildings were well constructed and very lovely. The location and view was super beautiful. The pool was clean and a perfect temperature. The staff was always helpful and friendly. The not so good: The room needed a bug screen to keep biting bugs out at nighttime (our arms are covered in bites). For the cost of the room, it should also have included the basics that most other hotels of that price range include: shampoo, kleenex, and a new bar of soap each day. We shouldn't have had to go shopping for these items. There also should have been hand soap in the kitchen and in the shared bathroom by the pool. The poolside and outdoor lounging areas would benefit from more comfortable seating. We would have spent more time relaxing at the Casa if we could have had more comfortable seating. For the high price, we expected more comforts.

The view of the pool and SJDS is awesome and relaxing. It is close to town 10min walk, although the walk is very steep. Inside the room needs more maintenance/decor and upkeep with bugs getting in. A good place for surfers or those that don’t mind the stay being a bit on the rough/camping side of things.

Beautiful view, modern accommodations

We stayed for 3 days/nights in the main building and were overall very pleased. The view is beautiful and pool was refreshing. Breakfasts were decent - my omelette was a little runny one morning but that's a possibility anywhere. There was a small miscommunication regarding booking a taxi to the airport our last morning but using google translate the wonderful lady in charge of breakfast called someone to arrange the taxi last minute - all was well. The minibar was an added bonus and the staff were all very nice. We arrived early and were able to use the pool while they made up the room (which was ready early). No matter where we stayed we always kept in mind that infrastructure in Nicaragua is not like home - there may be periods of no power, hot water, etc (the town was replacing poles and power was out everywhere). They upgraded the water pressure while we were there. There were a few moments like that in each place we stayed however this was the only place that looked into the reasons and tried to have any inconvenience shortened. *The walk up the hill was not that bad if you don't have mobility issues. My partner has a bad back and he found it challenging but completed it a number of times. A couple that was there at the same time usually took a taxi from the centre of town. We didn't take advantage of any of the shuttles to nearby beaches or activities, but the value was good.

Greatest place in San Juan del Sur

While all the hostals on San Juan del Sur offers small rooms, Casa Andalucia will give you the maximum experience of comfort and tranquility. The pool view rooms are the best choice, you'll receive free mini bar, big room and all commodities required. Staff is great to talk to and they'll serve you in anything you need. The hotel has private security and awesome town view.

Very Relaxing!

This hotel is a bit out of the way, but so worth it for the great views. It felt like I was staying in a villa instead of a hotel. The free breakfast was simple, but delicious, the staff was friendly, the property is gorgeous and well kept (infinity pool, great views, clean, comfortable, free WiFi, free parking and security monitored 24hrs/day). The room I stayed in (poolside cabana) was very simple with no AC and no door on the bathroom. It was comfortable nonetheless, but I mention it only because some may want to stay in another room. The hotel itself was a gem and I was very happy to have picked it. It is a bit of a hike up & down the hill, so driving is your best option, but it is manageable by foot. I loved my stay and was sad to have to check out!
