Vacation rentals in Rio San Juan

The bungalow overlooking the lake with hammock and sun loungers allowed me to relax with a lovely view at all hours of the day and night, and that's all I cared about. I enjoyed swimming to the small island in front of the hotel (20 minutes round trip), even though I was very scared when I saw a big caiman, or a crocodile, throwing myself in the water right in front of me; ) I also enjoyed the walks in the beautiful surrounding nature. Finally, the food was good and remained at a fair price for a hotel restaurant located on an island with almost no other dining options. The place itself is quite spartan (no mirror, for example), but I had nothing to do with it, anyway when you are there it is secluded and very quiet, without meeting big world, and, combined with the landscape, it is a luxury. Finally, the Tigo internet connection, althougha little slow, worked well enough to do what I wanted. Friendly locals.

Great, nothing to report.

Very friendly and helpful.

We spent 3 nights in this lovely Cabaña and wish we would have had more time there! The experience was absolutely amazing! :) Clean and cozy room, comfortable bed with mosquito net, super nice balcony, extremely lovely garden, and very friendly hosts. It felt like visiting close friends. Susanne cooks very good food (I am vegetarian and that was no problem at all), her husband likes to share stories about his life and their child is very cute. We did a chocolate tour with Susanne and made our own chocolate which was very interesting and so much fun! I also did horseback riding with them - friendly, well kept horse and nice surroundings for a ride. Susanne took us to the village several times and we were able to experience real Nicaraguan rural life. Would love to come back and would recommend this place 100%! By the way: Getting there was no problem at all: Just take the local bus to San Carlos and from there the bus to Sábalos stops right in front of the house if you tell them.

We were unable to complete our travel to San Carlos, but I can say unequivocally that Ernesto is an excellent communicator! His Englis is great, and his friendliness and very quick responses have been super helpful! We are hoping to get down to San Carlos soon, and Ernesto will be our first and primary choice!

Doris was amazing! And her place is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Doris, you’re an excellent host!

Staying with Dennis and his lively family was wonderful in every aspect. The location is great, with the balcony overlooking the river and the sound of the nearby rapids putting us to sleep at night. There are plenty of comedores and small shops just meters away. All members of the family - Daisy, Dennis‘ wife as well as their four children - were friendly and open and it was great to talk to them or go for a little exploration. Thanks for the wonderful days!
