My Favorite San Juan del Sur Hotels

There is an abundance of hotels in San Juan del Sur from the upscale expensive to the cheap and downright dirty. My favorites have to be the following:

La Posada Azul - This is a beautiful colonial style building just off the beach in the center of town. The rooms are nice and very comfortable, the staff is friendly and courteous, and it is just the most convenient place in town in terms of location. You are a very short walk to the beach, a block from the mercado, and on the one of the main business streets in town with plenty of shops, restaurants, stores, etc...

Park Avenue Villas - I stayed here on a long term trip and although the location is not as convenient as La Posada Azul, the rooms are very nice. They are actually all 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartment style suites with all the comforts of home. The location is a few blocks north of the main thoroughfare through town about a block and a half off the beach and is perched on a hill with a patio that may boast some of the best views of what I think is the best sunset in the world.

Piedras y Olas/Pelican Eyes - This upscale establishment is located on the hill east of town and offers rooms, small houses and large villas. All include queen size beds (or larger), satellite television, wireless internet service, air conditioning, and an in-room hospitality center featuring microwave, refrigerator, and purified water. The restaurant and bar, La Cascadas, is nice as well, but it is a little bit of a journey to town and everything on the hill is a little more expensive than down below.

Landmark Inn - I stayed here for a while and personally liked it. I have talked to others who had complaints about the noise, so if you are looking for peace and quiet you should probably look elsewhere. The location can't be beat though. It is actually next door to the Century 21 office across the street from the beach just north of the main road into town.

There is an abundance of low cost hostels in town where you can stay for cheap, but won't get much more than a cement floor and an uncomfortable bed. If you are in search of a hostel you can get dropped off near the market and a quick walk around will allow you a variety of choices.

Please note, these are my personal opinions only and they have no relation to Century 21 Gold Coast Realty.

Enjoy your stay in beautiful San Juan del Sur
