- Miguel (9/5): - La atención. Lo retirado que esta de la playa, pero bien es cuestión de caminar un poco. Volvería a visitarlo por la atención y lo bonito que es.

- Victoria (8/5): - Me gustaron las instalaciones y la pizza es divina El acceso es terrible.
- Michael (8/5): - We really enjoyed our time at this hotel. The layout is one of the best parts—the rooms are creatively arranged around the pool and near the restaurant hut, which gives the whole place a unique, communal feel. The pool itself was very nice and a great place to relax, though it looked like it could use a little maintenance in a few spots. The food was a major highlight. We especially loved the pizzas, which were delicious, and everything else we ate was also very good. The walk to the ocean was manageable, but it would be a huge bonus if a shuttle service were available, even just on demand. Overall, it's a great hotel, and we would definitely be willing to stay here again. It has a lot of charm and we left feeling happy with our trip.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Small resort that needs some updating. It is fairly remote with not much around - the closest beach is about a 5 minute walk away. Food and staff were great though.
- Samuel (10/5): - La atencuon desde la llegada y el estar pendientes del servicio extra solicitado.la comida es excelente (no nos enfermamos) y el ambiente del personal nos hizo sentir bien alojados..!
- Soyoup (10/5): - Simple, clean and friendly hotel. Close to beach. In hotel restaurant is pretty good considering the location.
- John (8/5): Great place to stay - We really enjoyed our stay. The room and bathroom were a good size and nice and clean. The pool was lovely and there were plenty of pool loungers. The Restaurant was great, excellent menu and good prices. The staff were fantastic. There were a few power cuts, but that is expected and Las Dunes have a generator so not an issue. There was no supply of Drinking Water, you had to buy bottled water from the bar. But they did supply unlimited Tea, Hot Water and Coffee. The mattress was a little saggy in the middle and it was a bit of a tight squeeze up the sides of the bed, but that was just personal preference.
- Jorge (6/5): I was specting some soars of a refund - The cabin are cute and colorful I checking late around 8pm unfortunately the power went off about midnight at that point the backup system didn’t go on until we were checking out and on top of all we didn’t have water.
- Morgane (10/5): Perfect cocoon - The welcoming and sympathetic staff, the whole place itself is a cocoon, the cabin was great too (and with air-conditioning) and right in front of the swimming pool. It's a short-walking distance from the beautiful beach of Aposentillo.
- Heather (6/5): - Unfortunately there was construction happening because of a fire that destroyed the roof over the dining area recently, so that meant noise and the pizza oven wasn't running. There was a misunderstanding about the cost of transportation from the airport. The Expedia ad quoted $45 but I was told that it was an old price and that I needed to pay $100. The room itself was nice and clean, unfortunately there wasn't a light in the bathroom. The pool and dining area was also clean.
- George (8/5): Very good - Cute little spot with a clean pool and room. 5 minute walk to beach and food was excellent. Would definitely stay again.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (8/5): Staff was super lovely and helpful! Limited food menu but food was good. - Very clean and the pool was great Not super accessible without car
- Patrick (10/5): Make sure workers are cared for - I’ve heard the hotel had a fire. I hope the wonderful staff is taken care of by the owner.
- Staff (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was good, adequate, not huge. It was the oof season, lots of rain, roads bad, staff good. The roads.
- Leola (9/5): Superb - Gorgeous resort - the rooms are clean and large with good Aircon, the pool is lovely and the onsite restaurant is great (mains $10-15). The staff are lovely too. There are quite a few mosquitos around (it is set just back from the beach so that's why) so bring bug repellent! The rooms have mosquito window covers which helps. The WiFi was generally bad most of the time qe were there.
- Bailbonds (8/5): Very good -

- Dr. Luis E. Fernández (10/5): - Fantastic place. Went with my wife and dog. Food is really really good, place is nice, quiet and clean. All around a great stay. Definitively planning on visiting again.
- Heyling (10/5): - Realmente cumplieron mis espectativas, el lugar es muy lindo, bien cuidado, todo muy limpio. El personal en general es gente muy alegre y amable, la comida es riquísima y hacen unas pizzas artesanales fenomenales. Volveré sin duda.
- Cameron (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly staff! Delicicous food. Nice Pool. Just 100 m from the beach. The food was a little bit expensive.
- Emanuel (10/5): - Llegamos y el personal fue muy atento al recibirnos, la playa está a 10 minutos caminando, es un espectáculo, cuidaron cada detalle durante nuestra estancia.
- Jose Orlando (10/5): - Un lugar acogedor! La cabaña estaba limpia, la piscina, el restaurante sirve una pizza y costillas de cerdo deliciosas.
- Guillermo (2/5): - I couldn't stay in the place because there were no rooms available unfortunately I have no explanation what happened if the system allowed me to make the reservation and when I arrived at the place I was not available
- Patrick (8/5): Surfing was amazing - Location is amazing Restauarant only had rum drinks. No other liquor. No juice. Non fresh fruits or vegetables. It’s the tropics????
- Joshua (9/5): Superb - Amazing clean pool, nice cozy rooms, lovely staff very helpful, food was outstanding, air con works great Loud frogs at night was hard to sleep, water pressure comes and goes in room, need a motorbike to access the boom for surfing (which was well organised!). Wifi wasnt working for most the nights we were staying there unfortunately
- Stryker (2/5): Don’t waste you time… - This place is not actually on the beach, to surf the boom of s about a 30-40 minute walk. The staff was awful with exception to their new lady I believe the manager. She was a breathe of fresh air. Wi-fi never worked and the power was out one of the 3 nights we were there. They had a generator but only turned it on for an hour so no fan and no air conditioning was an awful way to end. Also we never got our 3rd breakfast we pre paid for because the power was off, but they conveniently turned on the generator a few minutes after breakfast window was closed, so we paid for lunch. I would never stay there again. Definitely our worst experience in Nicaragua.
- Haendel (9/5): Great spot, nice pool, close to the beach. - The pool was nice, very close to the beach and good restaurant at the property. Nice AC in the bungalows, they are a nice size, big enough for a family / group of 4+. Bathrooms are nice as well. Price of the food is a bit high but it is good quality. Road to the beach is a bit janky.
- Debra (10/5): Very peaceful and quiet -
- Rosalie (10/5): Las Dunas was cozy, convenient, and the staff were incredible! - The staff at Las Dunas were incredible, especially Mayling! They were very attentive and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. The food was delicious and the breakfast provided each morning was great! The internet kept going in and out but besides that everything was great.
- Rosa (7/5): Good - The staff are nice. The internet connection is not good inside the blue bungalow.
- Milton Antonio de (10/5): Beautiful location - Amazing place. My second time there. A true gem. Paradise. Food is excellent. Service superb
- Alex (4/5): Not worth it, many better beaches and hotels - I was disappointed by this hotel. There was no formal check-in procedure, we were given keys to the room and that was it. As it's a hotel that is supposed to be about surfing I needed to know about the local beaches, transport, hiring, tides, and other recommendations. I was given none of these things. The closest beach isn't very nice and only has surf once a day. This place is very remote, there's no shops or restaurants in the vacinity. This is fine if you have your own transport, but we didn't, so we were essentially stuck at a hotel for 3 days instead of enjoying the surf. The on-site restaurant provides basic, uninspired food for relatively expensive prices, 30-40% above market rates. Surf board hire is US$20 per day, double what you pay in better surf spots like Playa Manderes. There's no reason to go here instead of other, better beaches. I booked for 3 nights, would have been happy to leave after the first.
- Jesse (10/5): Tropical paradise!!! - Las Dunas is a beautiful place with great food a wonderful staff and an incredible vibe. I can’t wait to go back!
