After a long day of travel we were welcomed with complimentary drinks and snacks! and to top it off we were swept away to catch one of the most amazing sunsets we had seen in Central America. We were glad we decided to stay outside of San Juan Del Sur as this is where the surf beach and to our... More

This is my second stay at this guesthouse, which a nice upgrade from backpacking for comfort and relaxation (e.g. the canopy lounge). I’m an intermediate surfer, who’s been surfing in a few different countries (my girlfriend is a beginner surfer who loves it)….. and the best beach for surfing we’ve been to, is only a short walk away from this...

I travelled with my young son of 5 and am already hoping to return with the rest of my family. Our hosts were outstanding; they went out of their way to make sure we were happy. They were really friendly, knowledgable and compassionate - and they were good cooks! (Although it is not advertised they do offer meals for a... More

Hosts Lisa and Jake go out of their way to make families feel at home. Wonderful dinners and breakfasts for those interested in dining at the B&B. Our separate cabin was perfect for families with little kids. Easy walks to two beaches, including Playa Marsella with gentle waves that are ideal for younger swimmers. So glad we stayed outside of... More

By far the cleanest and most comfortable stop on our vacation. Jake and Lisa were great at helping us line up tours and pointing us in the right direction to the best restaurants. Location is great with just a short walk to 2 beaches especially Maderas where the good surfing was. Lisa serves up a great breakfast every morning especially... More

We had a fantastic time at Lazy Jakes Guesthouse! Our holiday was a mixture of relaxing, partying, and adventure. The beaches that were within walking distance from Lazy Jakes were beautiful and had great surfing. Lisa and Jake recommended and helped us book different activities and tours such as sailing and baby turtle hatching; which was an unbelievable experience! San... More

I was looking for a place that was clean and away from the chaos of San Juan. Lazy Jakes is perfect for that. Lisa and Troy are great hosts and really know the area. I am not a huge traveller so it was nice to stay at a place that could guide me in the right direction. It is only... More

Highlight of my trip! Jake, Lisa and little Jake were the perfect hosts. Felt like home, the rooms were super clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this location for anyone; I felt safe and wasn’t worried about leaving my stuff in the rooms. Lisa is an amazing cook (Banana chocolate French toast was amazing!). They gave awesome recommendations of where... More

We had a great time at Lazy Jakes! The room we stayed in was very clean and nice. It was a short 10 minute walk to Marsalla beach, and a 20 minute walk to Madaras beach. The beaches in San Juan Del Sur are beautiful. Jake and Lisa were wonderful hosts showing us around, recommending good places to eat, things... More
