Wild Waves Surf-House

Super happy with my stay and highly recommend 10/10 Loved my stay at wild waves it’s location is perfect. it is the best location in popoyo as it’s close to the main beach breaks and market. Super chill vibe and peaceful at night. For me one of the best places in Central America and the best place in Nicaragua I’ve stayed. It’s a 25 min walk to beginners bay but it’s walk along the beach so is actually really nice. The rooms are really clean and fresh. Same with the kitchen. Norlan who helps in the kitchen is super friendly and makes a really good sized breakfast. Also they have a blender which for me I always appreciate. Gianni was really helpful at helping arranging a surf lesson with a local instructor and giving information about the best local spots. He knows many people in the area so can help arrange anything you need. Taxis etc. I had a problem with not having enough cash because I didn’t realise popoyo didn’t have an atm and he lent me some cash to get by until I was sorted. Again I really appreciate this and it added to my stay as everything was no issue. Also popoyo surfing is great, many surfing spots in the area for all surf levels. The vibe in general is really friendly, very chill and has a super market and fruit trucks which come by many times throughout the day. Real paradise away from a city but you have all you need. A few restaurants I didn’t try because the kitchen was perfect and really clean so I just used the one at wild waves. The only issue is there in no ATM in the area so bring more cash than you need!

Nothing the property was great ! Just no ATM in popoyo

Great location, easy walk to the beach and surf break. Tropical vibes with hammocks surrounding the property.

I loved everything about the property.

Gianni is a brilliant host, super friendly with fun chat and very helpful. Norlan the housekeeper is also a lovely guy. The room was comfortable and clean (it was also cleaned a couple times during our stay), the kitchen is really good (fresh coffee every morning!), there are hammocks and tables outside for hanging during the heat of the day. The location is excellent - just off the beach, near the only two shops in Popoyo, next to several restaurants and opposite a board rental place. Easy access to the reef break (about 10-15mins walk), a bit longer to Beginners Bay. Wifi wasn’t great in our room but fine in the communal spaces. Great vibes, wish we could have stayed longer!

Awesome place to stay with awesome staff! Planned to stay one week, ended up for 3.. Gianni is a great host and always helpful to find the best waves around. Thanks for everything, see you again!

the owner was so helpful and nice, picked us up when we was dropped off by the bus ages away! helped us to get cash out also and a very friendly person with lovley family. really good location on the beach. nice kitchen with lots of equipment. hammocks and tables to chill. good spacious room.

not a huge issue as cheap but think it needs. to be clearer about purchasing / drinking the filtered water :)

We had a wonderful week staying at wild waves in Popoyo. it’s a lovely little place, beautiful little room and a kitchen with all the amenities. We were seconds from the beach, minutes from Popoyo surf break and a 15 minute walk to beginners bay. Giancarlo, his family and staff were all lovely and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about the local area and the surf and he’s always there for any of your needs. we can’t wait to stay again. Thanks Gianny.

This was one of my favorite stays in Nicaragua. The location was so peaceful and quiet for sleeping but there are also several places nearby to grab a drink. The owner Gianny was so so kind and him or his lovely staff/family were there if you needed anything. The kitchen had everything you could need for cooking and was spotlessly clean. I loved that the fruit/veg truck drove by here selling things every other day. I really enjoyed the free coffee every morning and loved the atmosphere of this place, great for solo travelers and meeting other people. Beautiful garden with hammocks and it was right on the beach. Compared to other places in the area with a private room with en-suite this was really the best value for your money

Nothing!

I liked the room - a very comfortable, I liked the atmosphere, the kitchen, attention to us. Everything was nice and pleasant. Good internet.
