Hostel Tropical and CoWorking, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Hostel Tropical and CoWorking is located in San Juan del Sur, within 1148 feet of San Juan del Sur Beach and 1.5 mi of Nacascolo.

Excellent choice for digital nomads and/or those looking for a clean quiet hostel in the center of San Juan del Sur. Spent a week here working remotely and the Internet was fast, stable and battery back up kept it functioning when the electricity in the town went out once for twenty minutes. Friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and very affordable room price for an otherwise bit pricey town. Everything was clean and functioned well and was very appreciative of the coworking room having AC.

    There's something magical about this little beach community.

    There's something magical about this little beach community. The vibe and energy are great- restaurants and bars with excellent food & drink everywhere. Locals and tourists are friendly and helpful. We know a tiny bit of Espanol but were able to communicate with no issues, and English is spoken more prevalently than I had expected. Can't wait to visit again!!

    It is a busy town, with lots of surfers and retired folks living or visiting. Lots of motorbikes for getting around. Some excellent restaurants along the beach front including Henry's Iguana Bar, and Maggies' Restaurant up the street. Good fish tacos at little kiosk. Great beach walks, lovely sunsets and a few hikes to do. One to the Jesus protecting the bay and the other to the lighthouse on the opposite side of bay. Wear good shoes for those.

    Great little beach town with numerous bars and restaurants with amazing sunset views. Very walkable even in flip flops. Not a bad meal to be found! Lots of fun places to watch American football if you like that.

    everything is walking distance, you can get to the know the town easily just walking around. I liked Vivian restaurant, nice place, clean, friendly staff. the beach was full of trash... plastic trash, cups, bottles, cookie wraps, cans... trash all over the sand and in the ocean and for some reason nobody seems to care. it was very impressive and quite sad. Looking Good Surf House was a great place to stay!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

    The town wasn't as bad as I was expecting! pretty calm in the day and evening, not sure about after that! we were there 2 days and for us that was just right. We went to Remanso beach one day and Maderas beach the other. Rented boards at each and tried to surf! Maderas waves were better, at least when we were there in April. We were at the beaches for about 5 hours each day. I didn't love the fact that Remanso had no shade and neither seemed to have much for facilities, except the few bars/restaurants that you kinda had to eat/drink at in order to have some shade or a shower or somewhere to hang out. Not really my favourite scene. SJDS itself was small town seeming in the center and easy to get around walking and lots of food options and the beach in town was great to explore with the kids, swim or watch sunset. It's easy to get in and our of either on bus from Rivas or taxi- 20$ from the Ometepe Ferry for 4 of us. 25$ to the border organized through Casa Oro.

    In the town there are a lot of open sewers and the smell is bad in many places. There is a lot of trash here and there. There is a lot of trash around the beach. The food is ok, the prices are alright. The better prices are away from the beachfront. Tamarindo is a much nicer and cleaner beach. The Nica's need to clean up the trash and the open sewers.

    Very cool hotel, unlike any I have been too. They have a skateboard park, waterslide, waterpark, rock climbing wall and a bunch of other activities all blended into the resort. It was a pretty unique experience and not to mention the staff were super friendly and attentive, the landscaping was kept up, food was great and well priced, especially the Pizza, best pizza I have had in Latin America. Overall great stay and I recommend it to everyone!

    For our first impression of Nicaragua, Buena Onda was all we could have asked for! The rooms are tasteful and have large, comfy beds, the magnificent view from the common space reaches all over the Bay of San Juan del Sur, every day changing homemade, delicious breakfast is included, there are hammocks to chill in, adorable dogs and cats to chill with, they sell cold beers, sodas, and water, and the host and hostess are just too kind.

    It is a quiet and clean place close to the market, restaurants and the music bars in San Juan del Sur. This place has a clean kitchen and comfortable places to sit on sofas, chairs or hammocks. Maria studied English at elite international schools in Managua and was a corporate lawyer from a powerful family with high-level connections in government. But you need to think about your safety and security here.

    This location was great if you want to escape the craziness of San Juan Del Sur. There's a nice beach right beside the property which is great if you're learning to surf. The beach is quiet and chilled. Faith and James were lovely hosts. Really nice people and lovely to talk to. It was really quiet too which is what we were looking for.

    This place is a jewel. It's not a classical hotel with the normal staff. It was clearly built originally as a private home, and that's what it feels like. The views are fantastic, it's quiet and peaceful but only 5 minutes from the beach and the restaurants and shops. Best place I've stayed at in a long time.
