    That said, there were a few downsides. As a digital nomad, the Wi-Fi was extremely frustrating—nearly unusable for work. The layout of the property includes odd steps and sloped walkways; I tripped or slipped nearly every day, so be cautious. While the lobster burger was great, the fried lobster I had for dinner was overly salty and the salad was soggy. Also, my shower didn’t have hot water, which was disappointing given how sensitive I am to cold showers.

    I stayed in one of the bungalows and overall had a pleasant experience. The room was a good size, and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room for my things. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I appreciated that breakfast was included—it had a decent variety—and I received a 10% discount for lunch or dinner, which was a nice touch. The lobster burger was definitely a highlight! The A/C worked well, and there was also a ceiling fan for extra comfort. I really enjoyed relaxing on the porch with its hammock and sitting area. Best of all, it's located right across from the beach but still quiet and peaceful despite being surrounded by other buildings.

    - Having to pay for water refills, even a glass of water with dinner or to refill a water bottle at the bar is ridiculous to be honest (been to many other cheap hostels around Nicaragua and drinking water is always free) Even one of the staff said they thought it was ridiculous - Extras are overpriced and better options can be found around the island. E.g. Bikes are $12 a day but had to return them as they were so low quality. Go to Franky Bikes round the corner for the same price and much better quality. - Shower wasn’t hot most of the time - TV didn’t have great signal so some channels didn’t work. It did have streaming services but the wifi wouldn’t connect. - Few lizards/ants in the room but maybe to be expected

    - Good location on beach and lovely setting around the rooms with palm trees, hammocks etc. - Very good beach bar for drinks and good reasonable food in the Buccaneer (get the kingfisher carpaccio) - Decent breakfast with help yourself coffee and waiters were nice.

    The breakfast options were very limited, and often not all options were available. The prices in the restaurant were also relatively high, which was not completely related to it’s quality. It was also not very clear why a beer would cost more at the beach bar, then in the hotel restaurant. In general, it’s pricing policy is not very transparent.

    The cabins are very beautifull located and constructed, all though i didn’t expect to share a patio with neighbours. It’s in the middle of a lot of nature, with lots of birds and other small wildlife. The rooms were clean and spacious. It was close to a private beach, and the staff were very friendly.

    The bed had a ledge along one side, making it awkward to get in and out of. There is only one outside chair to sit on the veranda. No drinking water in the room Cats used the sand in the restaurant's outdoor seating as a litter box. I had to advise a mother not to let her child play as he was digging where a cat had taken a shit that morning. No beach towels

    Close to beach. Quiet. Nice restaurant and also a beach bar. Good food. Very friendly helpful staff

    Food was not appealing and super salty Room was not super clean, they left some things from previous tenants. They just cleaned very superficial.

    It has hot water and air conditioner. Location is ok, You can walk to the bank and to the beach. It was quiet at night. They let us checking early.

    The hotel is a bit dated, with peeling paint etc. For what we got it's a little expensive.

    The location is great, right on a beautiful and quiet beach. The room was large and had good AC. The restaurant was nice and the staff very helpful. A good place to spend a night before flying back to Managua, as its only a few minutes away by taxi.
