Location was beautiful and staff was exceptional.

The shower was kinda cold, and a bit dated as though it needed an update on the tiling. The shower curtain didn’t really keep water in and the lip of the shower was too low. To access anything you do need to use a taxi which in Nicaragua right now seemed much more expensive.

The restaurant made good food and reasonably priced. The plentiful availability of drinking water was convenient. The rooms for comfortable and spacious. The location was very quiet and the beach was 5 minutes on foot.

Honestly nothing come to mind. 10/10

This Place is incredible. The room are tastefully decorated, beds are super comfortable, the linens impeccable. Everything was very clean, the staff is super friendly. The yoga room on the top floor is insane with big windows overlooking the beach and the misty cloud forest. (My kids were able to run around and blow off some steam in the yoga space during a rainy afternoon - definitely something that we didn’t expect to have such a great impact). The food is definitely above average for a secluded place with fair prices, you can even preorder fresh fish the day before! There’s free water and a coffee station too. The pool includes a kids pool as well, which was great! The beach is reachable by foot and less than five minutes away. We had the beach for ourselves during week days. You can discover tropical birds, monkeys and frogs on the property as well, there even was a brochure explaining which animals you can spot - also something that was just a fun thing to do which we didn’t expect 😁 Definitely would recommend to stay here as a family when there are no retreats ongoing, 10 out of 10!

Place is a bit removed from the main town.

Great location for private vacation. Close to a private perfect setting with a great beach. The place is a bit remote and private and a bit removed from the main beach and square. If you are into such a setting with great views, nature, and an excellent staff.

Great location, with amazing views. Very nice building, with several terraces to relax and rest. The yoga shala is beautiful. Great service from both staff and the owners themselves.

The churrasco had great flavor but quality meat couldve been better. It was as soft as churassco should be. The tortilla chips with your breakfast option were pretty stale and hard to chew. Soft tortillas would be a better option. Although everything else on the plate had great flavor.

The view, cleanliness, and friendly staff.

Incredible stay! ! After a mix-up with another booking, John accommodated us at the last minute without any hassle, turning what could have been a stressful situation into an amazing experience. John was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special – we arrived to find petals on the bed and a lovely glass of wine waiting for us. The hotel itself is stunning, with a perfect location and an atmosphere that feels both elegant and relaxing. The food was exceptional and every meal felt like a treat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and the hospitality made it even more memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special getaway!

We reserved the apartment (Cabaña) and one of the rooms AC wasn’t working the first night, but they accommodate us in another room until the unit was fixed.

Beautiful property, friendly staff, amazing food (cook Blanca makes a great fish). Shout out to John for his hospitality!

Highly recommend staying here for a longer duration. It was close enough to several beaches, either by walking or easy shuttles, but was also quiet and secluded. The location itself, as well as the spaces within the hotel, are beautiful and set up with a lot of intention. The owner was friendly, informative and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here if you're trying to surf, explore or if you want sunrise yoga and to reconnect quietly. You are close to several restaurants as well as on location kitchen who are extremely accommodating.

there was never any fruit served with breakfast, and central american fruit is something we really look forward to

Lovely place with a perfect mix of traditional Nicaraguan sensitivities and a little bit of new-agey woo woo, but in a good way, not a cheesy way.

Our stay at Villa Viyarte in San Juan del Sur was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking location, nestled perfectly between lush greenery and the stunning beach. The serene and picturesque surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable family getaway. What truly set our experience apart was the exceptional staff. Sahara and Josue, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. They were always eager to accommodate any request and their friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our vacation. The beach was a haven of tranquility and beauty, offering the ideal setting for relaxation and adventure alike. Whether we were soaking up the sun, exploring the shoreline, or simply enjoying the stunning sunset views, every moment spent on the beach was magical. Villa Viyarte is a gem in San Juan del Sur, and my family left with cherished memories and a longing to return. It's a destination that offers the perfect blend of comfort, and natural beauty, all made extraordinary by the wonderful people who make you feel like family. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable retreat!

I really have nothing to complain about. Maybe it's just that it's a bit more expensive by local standards, but it was worth it.

This accommodation looked like a castle from a fairy tale. Very quiet and peaceful environment. Nice clean rooms, terrace with a beautiful view. The pool is also a big plus, although I didn't have time to take a bath because I was exploring the surroundings and the ocean. It's a bit further from San Juan del sur, but the very helpful and friendly Alvaro drove me to town and back. A short walk away is a beautiful quiet beach with a great bar and food.
