San Juan del Sur Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Sorry for the lack of blogging recently.. nothing was new to report till this past weekend.

I had the awesome oppertunity this weekend to go and visit with an old friend in the beautiful reserve of Las Fincas. Basically we lived the good life; played with all the animals (parrots, dogs, horses and other critters who arrived unanounced), d...

I didn't get a seat on the bus to the border, but thank heavens for my trusty cushion and daypack/backrest. I spent half the 5 hour trip sitting on the floor so most of Costa Rica passed without me laying eyes on it - first rain and clouds (fog in fact) from the Caribbean coast, and only blue sky to see to the Pacific. This time I crossed the bo...

A quick little entry about the tourist centre of Nicaragua...San Jaun Del Sur. I normally shun the really really touristy places but this one is different. It is s surf town and it has a funky little vibe to it. As long as you don´t mind paying a bit more for food, but who can complain while sitting in a little thatched roof bar overlooking the ...

We have been exceptionally lazy with our cameras the last few days so I'm afraid we have no visuals for you of San Juan del Sur. I guess the place didn't inspire us that much although that probably had a lot to do with the rain. I know, I know!! We have no right to complain about weather given what's happening at home and how much sun we've had ...

After a 5am start and 7 1/2 hours on the hottest bus in the world, we arrived at the Penas Blancas Costa-Rica/Nicaragua border crossing yesterday, and were horrified by the size of the queue. It stretched way out of the building and onto the car park, with people frying in the sun with all their luggage. Fortunately it moved quite quickly and we...

Safi and I arrived in San Juan del Sur after the pretty good chicken bus ride via Rivas. We met a nice brother and sister couple on the bus and we checked into Hotel Estrella on the beach front with a great view from the balcony over the glistening waters and white sands. Surfing is the game here, but gonna give it a swerve as Im heading off to ...

One of the rainiest weekends I have spend in Nicaragua. It would go to figure that is how our luck would go, it was sunny and hot all week long, and as soon as we get to the beach, bam! it rains almost the whole time. We made the best of it, Chloe, Loren, Emily, Sage and I had a fun girls weekend. We stayed at Hotel Estrella, beach front hotel. ...

Hi everybody! It´s been awhile, almost too long and too hard to keep everything up to date so I´m going to do it all in this entry. So what has been going on.....well in short....a canopy tour of Mombacho was attended which was a gruelling hour ride through very bad roads (you´d think I´d be used to them by now)around the volcano. This tour had ...
