“I’ll be back soon!”
Everything! You come as one and leave as a family! I originally booked 4 nights here and ended up staying a month! I loved it so much! Big thanks to the owners Nick & Tom, you legends! The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with hammocks & deckchairs and tables to chill in. Restaurant at the front to get those cocktails and good food most days. The hostel itself is more like a house, just 12 people max with 2 dorms and 1 double room situated around a big kitchen & living area, it’s super sociable and fun, you end up hanging out all the time with the great people that pass through and most people end up extending for longer. Kitchen is great for cooking.

“Great location and sociable place”
Great spot by the beach, nice and social hostel, Anna who was volunteering there was lovely. We stayed in the double room which is quite small, but with a fan and aircon and a comfortable bed. Nice to have use of a kitchen. Salty koala also does great food out front

Chill spot, nice people and the Republic is right on the beach! Waking up with a swim, go for a surf on walking distance and watching sunset at the end of the day at the front made every day amazing! There is a fine kitchen to cook and it is nice that the place is not too big: just two dorms and a private room. That made the place and the people staying over super relaxt. Nick is an amazing host and told us a lot about Nicaragua and nearby places to visit. You feel very welcome! We would love to come back.

“Beaches, best people, boss time”
Best place by the beach. Dorms and beds are great. But the owners and roosa the volunteer made it.

Popoyo Republic has such a homely shared-living vibe, the sunsets that you can watch from the terrace are incredible - and you are walking distance to many great surf spots. Will definitely come back!
