El Jardin

It was like been in Italy

Silence and the view worth Million $

Good folks. Good vibe.

The place is amazing, very quiet, nice pool, good food, birds. Room upgrade for free to one with stunning seaview

The final price on booking didn't include 10% taxes, was written in small letter only after clicking on the little info icon. The water from the shower itched in my eyes.

The kayaks and the BBQ area.

If the rooms had an actual kitchen and not a burner.

Beautiful, small, great food, exceptional staff!

Had to get a taxi to get to town.

The views from the room were nice. The room was colorful and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good and the hotel helped to organize a scooter for rent.

The location was very remote- it's roughly 15 minute drive to San Juan del Sur. There was nothing within walking distance so you need your own transportation or rely on taxis. It was windy everywhere but because of the location on the top of the hill the wind was horrible.

Upon checking in my card was swiped for a charge less than the hotels.com price that I paid earlier in the month..when questioned I got no answer. Sheets were scuffed and stained and just placed on the mattress. On our last night someone left a tap running in a room on the same level as us. Room 7, and I woke up at 1030pm to a flooded room with half an inch of water that had soaked my computer bag. Managed to track down the nite manager who I helped clean up the wet floors with mops, broom and towels. The next day when I checked out there was no attempt by any of the staff to acknowledge or apologize for what had happened. I was then charged for supplemental food as expected. When I returned to pick up my bags I was then told they had shorted me the bill and i still owed 12, more. One would think that all the inconvenience of a flooded bedroom would have at least warranted some sort credit but nothing was offered. Instead I just received a glazed look and an additional bill. Not surprised this property is for sale !!!!! I will never return.

I was in town for my cousin's wedding at TreeCasa, and was recommended to stay at El Jardin with some of the other wedding guests. I am very happy I did. The view is incredible and the setting very intimate. El Jardin has wonderful, attentive staff and offers an experience that feels like a welcoming B&B, homey and without the cost and pretentiousness of a larger corporate hotel. The breakfast provided daily is very good, as are the offerings on the lunch menu. The room was comfortable and clean, with a view of the ocean. Transportation to and from the hotel was easy, as the staff was happy provide the contact of a taxi driver (which driver was happy to provide transportation for us on our request throughout our stay in SJDS). I had a great stay at El Jardin and highly recommend it.

The mattresses are very firm, but this may not be a problem for others. Additionally, bedding includes only a top sheet and two pillows, which may not meet the needs of many guests. There were periodically some medium-sized spiders in the room, but the hotel is located in a dense, undisturbed jungle, where I'd hope there are more spiders than humans!

Need have chair on the balcony to read or sunbathing .
