“We had a lovely relaxing stay on this pristine, secluded beach, with some great surfing!”
It was a beautiful, natural, and secluded location with a pristine beach. Great and fun adventure to get here. Hammocks, flowers, and beautiful plants everywhere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely relaxing stay with some great surfing too!

It is an amazing, cool place, with a great sunset view, long, beautiful beach you have for yourselves. I have liked the vibe a lot. People from abroad either volunteering or having an employment are the best. Thank you so much, I am greatfull I could stayed with you there. The access is easy, if you go from Leon, you can take a Chicken bus, it leaves every hour (like 8,25am, 9,25 am, and so on). If you send a message to the hotel that you are in Poneloya, they organize a boat (10 minutes ride) and the horse carrige..it goes smoothly..the breakfast (Nica) was tasty.. if you get up early, you can watch millions of stars on the beach

“A paradise if you want it ☀️🌴”
The place is really remote and a bit more complicated than just a bus ride to get there - buuut once here it is paradise: The area is very spacious, many palmtrees and chillspots. It feels like an open livingroom overseeing the ocean, people linger, chat, chill. The endless beach is perfect for morning strolls (or runs) to then enjoy coffee in sun, yoga at the deck or try some surf! Or will you manage to walk the slackline? Evenings come with beachvolleyball and campfires (bring your own marshmallows for they dont sell them (yet? ) ) and options of movie-nights, games or even beerpong if you are not too tired from your beachday - needless to say i enjoyed my stay and would recommend at least 2 nights to maybe see some turtle-hatching as well! Its not a resort but very island-princess-vibes ✨ (Also ask for Isla if you are down to get a tattoo !)

“Perfect for relaxing but cleanliness/overall atmosphere could be improved”
Perfect place for relaxing, there was a number of things to do in the hostel (surf, yoga, horseback riding, slackline, long walk on an empty beach, turtle releases). The food in the restaurant was good.

“The best dorm I’ve ever staid in, I could see the stars from my bed”
Simply paradise! It’s away from the villages, it’s dark so you can see the stars, you have the whole beach to yourself, and so many hammocks to relax in. And they pick you up with a horse and carriage, that is an experience in itself!!! Wonderful!! Ps, bring snacks of you need snacks. And donate to the homeless dogs.

“Island chill”
The isolated location almost like a private beach. The activity equipment for use was good and the lounging areas, especially the thatched shade with sun beds. The food was excellent.

The lodge offers amazing views of sunsets, a 15km long beach which is almost always completely empty, and amazing cabins directly on the beach with a view of the Pacific ocean. The menu is amazing, especially against the background of the unique location of the lodge; the chefs in the kitchen were very great. The ride to the lodge with a horse carriage is another very special experience.
