    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.

    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.

    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!

    Honestly nothing come to mind. 10/10

    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.

    Place is a bit removed from the main town.

    Thank you for staying with us Akshay! We are also proud of our amazing staff and ViYarte familia. We also love being right next to a beautiful beach and away from the bustle of town but understand for some they like being close to San Juan. Once the new highway comes in we'll be even faster to get there! Hasta la proxima :)

    Property response:

    Hi Claudia, My name is John, founder of ViYarte.
I was not on site during your 1 night booking (in our cheapest room option with a shared bathroom), but my team said you were rude to all of our staff and complained about every detail: that there were leaves in the parking lot on a windy day, that our Vintage Pop Up in our Boutique had ‘used clothes’ (which is the point) and the selection of our wine and bar among other things. We understand that you did not enjoy your stay and that is ok.
We tried to accommodate each of your many requests with a smile. 
We hope you enjoy your next destination as we will not be inviting you back to stay with us at ViYarte.

 Cheers -John & The ViYarte Familia

    The view, cleanliness, and friendly staff.

    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.

    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.

    It was so lovely to host you Samara! Great to have you for an extended stay and sink into the magic of Marsella. Looking forward to hosting you again. -John

    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.

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

    Property response:

    Hi Wendy, we hope you enjoyed your stay. Next time, please just order some fruits, we give people option to have desayuno tipico or fruit with pancakes. With your feedback we're also adding fruit bowl with homemade granola and yoghurt as an option for the included breakfast. We agree, the fruit in Nicaragua is amazing! Looking forward to hosting you again soon.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Gracias Tomas! Yes the nickname used to be Castle on the Hill! Alvaro and our staff are wonderful people. We hope to have you come back and stay again soon. Abrazos -John, ViYarte owner

I highly recommend this place if you want luxury at good price! Also close drive to the very popular surf beach of playa maderas. Hoghly recommend to eat at Doña chilo right down the road with the sweetest lady!
