    You are a bit isolated to San Juan del Sur. It's 15 min by car. The hostel on the other side of the road has some shuttles. At night some neighbors listen to music at high volume. But overall it's a quite place.

    Context : We stayed there 3 nights. Not doing a retreat. This place is wonderful. The wooden construction are very nice. The staff is super friendly. The yoga sessions are great. The pool is clean and beautiful. The rooms are big, good looking, with everything you need. The breakfast are big and succulent.

    I honestly can’t think of anything – everything was fantastic!

    Eden truly is a paradise! I felt relaxed the moment I arrived and saw the stunning ocean view. The bungalows are very comfortable and beautifully designed. I really felt like I was sleeping in nature. Breakfast was a daily highlight: super fresh and healthy! What made the stay even more special was the warm and personal atmosphere. The staff was always there for me. I absolutely loved the hikes to the nearby beaches and the massages I booked. Eden is the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

    Absolutely nothing to complain about – except that I wish I could have stayed longer!

    Beautiful location surrounded by nature. The bungalows are spacious, clean and charming, with large, comfortable beds and quality mattresses. I slept like a baby. The food was fresh, healthy, and incredibly tasty! The staff was super friendly and helpful with booking my activities and transportation. The massage I added was deeply relaxing, and the yoga class was one of the best I’ve ever taken. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and self-care!

    The location is slightly out of the hustle and bustle with not many other amenities around (we knew this before booking so wouldn’t say this was a negative). We thought laundry was quite expensive albeit speedy.

    Amazing place! The owners have done really well to create what feels like a secluded jungle retreat without actually being that far from civilisation. The beds are so comfy, warm showers, AMAZING breakfast, staff are very friendly and attentive. Can’t fault the stay at all we loved it. Tranquillo vibes.

    Everythig was good

    This place is amazing!! Incredible swimming pool with a view, beautiful rooms & bungalows. There is also a cold bath which is a great idea in this tropical weather. All in all the property is well taken care of. The breakfast was really good and the best is that they modify it, so everyday you get different musli & type of eggs. People working here are so friendly and helpful! The man at reception gave us so much of good advice about what to see in Nicaragua. We were not part of yoga retreat so cannot say much about this. But you don’t need to be into yoga to enjoy this place. We loved it here and would be happy to be back. Beautful place :)

    If you’re not in to yoga - it is centered around this so breakfast is only at 9 etc so be aware about this. You’re also depended on the shuttles/taxis but it’s fairly easy to get and you can get reliable phone numbers.

    Relaxing vibe, great pool views, and delicious healthy and big breakfast! High quality bed and mosquito nets.

    Not their fault, but an asphalt yard opened up nearby and makes noise 8am-8pm. Not the pure jungle sounds I imagined, there is baseline construction noise anll day and no monkeys.

    Lovely staff, cabins, view, food. My kids loved the warm pool and I loved the big clean beds under mosquito nets. I would love to come back and take advantage of the yoga and resort meals on another trip.

    The rooms are a little sparse. They could do with more surface area for, perhaps, sitting and reading, and even a place to put your luggage. I have to agree with those who said that the beds are uncomfortable.

    A calm and peaceful vibe. The yoga teachers were exceptional, and all of the staff were kind. I love the refreshing pool, and the yoga studio could not have had a better view.

    The accommodation part of Eden is not as excellent. The beds are uncomfortable and the towels are harsh. Although a retreat center it is very loud at night with noise from the hostel below blending in with the roosters waking you at at 4 am. The location is also rather remote making it hard to access the nearby beach ( 20 min walk ) or the town ( 10 Min drive / 7$ each way. The yoga and activities can be a hit or miss.

    Eden is a wonderful retreat center with amazing views over the San Juan del sur bay. The yoga shala is beautiful overlooking the water. The food was also nice and homemade and we were eating together with all the other guests fostering a sort of community.

    It is such a lovely Hotel with cabanas, some of them with a beautiful sea view. They offer yoga classes/retreats which you can be part of, if you want to. The meals are held together in a family/friends’ like atmosphere where the manager, the yoga teachers etc. sit with you at the table and you are welcome to join or not. Everything is done with so much love and care and I can definitely recommend. They also offer excursions e. g. to Granada and one free excursion down to the center of San Juan del Sur and the Cristo statue. Highly recommended stay!!
