San Juan del Sur Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We left Managua as planned on Wednesday morning. The express bus we had planned to take from Managua to San Juan del Sur did not actually exist so we boarded a bus to Rivas, a transportation hub about 30 minutes north of San Juan del Sur. Judy made sure we got on the correct bus and told the driver to make sure he dropped us off at the right bus...

A day off just taking it easy, a real coffee early on and then down to Dave's Big Wave shop for a monster breakfast in a bun and orange juice.
Caught up on the washing again.
Went shopping for cleaning products, found some cooker degreaser to clean the bike with and some car air freshener for the boots, trainers and riding gear which is ge...

we stopped off in managua on our way down. it really was a detour just to switch my internal flight from san jose, costa rica to peru to a month later, as we wanted to check out a little more in this country. but on being told to go to one travel agent to another, and finally to the airline company...and for them to say,´`nope, not possible`, we...

San Juan del Sur is a small surfing community on the Pacific Coast, near the Costa Rican border. It is the type of place where guys don´t wear shirts but they don´t need to because they are tan and ripped and waxing their surfboards on the sidewalks! The bay is a perfect horseshoe with dramatic cliffs on both sides. It is always full of boats so...

Well I kept a stiff upper, but quivery lower lip yesterday when i asked to switch homestay families. My first home was very "nice" to me, but not very talkative. Also, my cohabitor, Ben from Nova Scotia, spoke a lot of english to me around the family. Somehow it became a bit of a scene, because apparently when a student decides to switch homes t...

so i have now come to terms with the fact it takes an entire day to travel 100 km. its awesome though because it costs you a couple bucks and you get to see the country side in a very slow moving bus full to the brim! all they need is tour guide on the buses and they could charge another 50 cents. in any event yesturday was a pretty epic journey...

Looking for a real estate investment? Better act fast if you want to secure your fortune in San Juan del Sur! The amount of real estate for sale in and around this beautiful and as yet, unspoilt, Pacific beach town, is astounding. Making your way down the dusty road to the spectacular beaches to the north, ¨Se Vende¨ (for sale) appears to be the...

Got the 10.30am ferry from Isla de Ometepe back to the mainland. Saw the two monkeys tied with chains around their necks in a tree swinging happily from branch to branch. Apparantly they are sick monkeys and the owner gives them medicine... hmmm... have my doubts about that one, just hope one of them doesn´t miss a branch, cos the poor bugger wi...

Today was a very good day. It stared off not so good: we were going to go surfing again today, but had to make a deposit for our trip to Playa La Flor tomorrow. I don´t remember if I mentioned it, but we are going to Refugio de Vida Silvestre La Flor (La Flor Wildlife Reguge), a very significant nesting spot for Olive Ridley Turtles. Anyway, we ...
