We had a wonderful stay at Buena Onda! Once you got up there, you don’t want to leave anymore. The place has an amazing view, great chill areas and everything you need for enjoying San Juan del sur. The hosts are super kind, they gave us a lot of tips (even for other places in Nicaragua) and contacts for where to rent a scooter or book a Zipline tour. Breakfast and coffee were great too and everything was clean. There is a good atmosphere in the hostel.

There was no drinking fountain or similar. And of course you need to consider that the location is up the hill - but for us it was perfect to spend a chill evening after a sunny day in San Juan del sur.

"Quiet setting. Beautiful People."

9.0

A great place that attracts good people, quiet setting, quiet part of town, but easily walkable to all that San Juan del Sur has to offer. Sandra and Elvin were fantastic and always ready to help with recommendations and whatever I needed. (even a bar of homemade soap!) Thank you x a thousand.

"Perfekter Aufenthalt in einem sehr gemütlichen Anwesen."

10.0

Ein rundum perfekter Aufenthalt. Das Hotel ist sehr gemütlich und liebevoll inhabergeführt, man merkt sofort die herzliche Atmosphäre. Alles ist sehr sauber und offensichtlich frisch renoviert. Besonders beeindruckend ist der wunderschöne Blick auf das Meer und die Stadt. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl und willkommen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
