I stayed here for three nights in April, and loved every minute of my stay. The hosts are gracious and warm, and the rooms are an excellent value. On top of all of that, the hillside location is nothing short of beautiful. Will definitely return.

Just left Casa de Olas. Had a wonderful time. The staff and owners are friendly and helpful. My husband and I are already trying to figure out when we can return. Hostel is a little out of city but with shuttle and taxis, never a problem going into town. San Juan del sur is great little town by the sea.... More

As someone who has spent over 6 years traveling, staying mainly in hostels... Casa de olas is probably the best I have ever experienced. The food and rooms are top notch and very affordable but it's the atmosphere that makes this place so amazing. Do yourself a favour and pay a visit to Fred and Carla (and buzz!!) you won't... More

We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 4. Now I wished we had not left. It has a hostel feel, but has far more class. The owners and staff contribute to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. They know your name after a few hours and go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time.... More

This is truly the most amazing place I have ever stayed at. Fred and Carla treat everyone like family and they both hilarious! They spend time with the guests and the vibe here is very inviting! They have family style dinners at 730 and have a round bar that makes it so easy to talk to people. The infinity pool... More

If you are going to San Juan Del Sur, you must stay at Casa de Olas. Everything about this place is amazing and to really understand this you'll have to visit; however, I'll try to sum it up in this review. Firstly, the Casa is on top of a hill that overlooks the entire town and ocean. The view is... More

I loved this place! It's beautiful, inexpensive & fun, the food was delicious, and Fred treats all his guests like family. We were traveling between a handful of cities and once we arrived here, we realized that we had struck gold & things couldn't be better, so we stayed until the end of our trip. This is the first place... More

Stayed here twice already, because it is nice in so many ways. It feels like home from the moment you arrive. Casa de Olas is a beautiful place high up the fill with a swimming pool and a beautiful view of San Juan del Sur. It is very clean and Fred and Carla really make you feel at ease. Casa... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Casa de Olas is a unique place to stay. While some would consider us a hostel others consider us the ultimate B&B. We have dorm accommodation (an 11 bed dorm and three 6 bed dorms) for those traveling on a budget or in groups along with private King & queen rooms. All rooms have en-suites with Tropical Showers. (Note that when we say tropical shower we mean that the shower is not artificially heated and comes naturally from our well). We are a short drive or 5km walk (remember we are on a hill and not everyone likes walking hills) to San Juan del Sur beach. We want to be sure that this is clear :). We have an amazing view over the bay and town that provides epic sunsets. We think staying a little out of town is the best way to experience SJDS. We have a shuttle service that runs at designated times each days, if you would like to travel into town outside of these times please let our staff know and they can advise how best to do this. Safe travels and we hope to see you soon!! ... more   less
