This is an amazing place - close to the beach, for surfers (who are mostly the clientele, at least during the season), a beautiful pool, and gorgeous new rooms. Tony has an architectural background, and he and his wife have done a great job of making the rooms spacious, colorful, soundproof, and fun. The staff is great - very friendly... More

We did a ton of research before we went to NIcaragua and really wanted to stay with surfari charters they were booked and recommended the "sanctuary" to us. We went with it and while it was a super nice place to stay, we were completely disapointed with their hospitality we wanted to know about the local breaks and when and... More

While this lodging "sanctuary" as they call it was decent, it's just too amateur and simply too far from where you'll want to be for your surfing and other jungle or ocean excursions. If it were half an hour closer to San Juan del Sur, it would be a better deal. Too far out of the way for the cost... More

If you are looking for an out-of-the-way place to relax, this is it. The staff are super-friendly and casual, so you'll feel right at home. The accommodations are very nice. I stayed in a "casita," which has air-conditioning, a private bathroom, and sleeps five. The pool is really nice, and the restaurant is casual and offers great food. (Get the... More

The Surf Sanctuary is the perfect, relax and peaceful place to recharge energy after a great surf session in the many just-walk-distance top surf breaks of Nicaragua. The houses and rooms are nice and clean, the pool is refreshing, the beers are perfect cold and the food is incredible! I´ve stayed here many times, the owners Tony and Nancy are... More

Maybe I am selfish,but I really want to keep this place to myself! Every morning I woke to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains, walked to the beach and explored the rocks, then came back and had a fabulous breakfast at the restaurant. While my husband surfed, I could lay on the beach or spend time in the hammocks by... More
