I just got back from 10 days down in Nicaragua surfing. Our original plan was to travel the coast and stay at different spots. Our first few nights were booked at Buena Onda and even though we did stay at a different resort after that, we ended up back at Buena Onda because it was just that good. The owners... More

This was my first stay on this portion of the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. It offers all the beauty of the beaches further south, but with a much more relaxed beach scene. I am a 60 year old who supports small-scale organic gardens throughout Nicaragua, so this is much more suited for my liking than San Juan del Sur, Pochomil,... More

If you're looking for the perfect surf trip/relaxing getaway with all around positive vibes and smiles then you've found the right place! This was our second trip in two years with a large group of friends and there's no doubt we'll be back again. We stayed for three weeks and didn't want to leave. The resort is absolutely beautiful, the... More

I stayed at Buena Onda for 9 days early March 2012 - I can't say enough good things about the place. Affordable, clean, good food and amazing dinner at cheap prices, the dinner specials are amazing, so tasty!!! The grounds are spacious and the pool is sweet. Located right on the beach, Sentana surf spot is just about 5 min... More

I can't write a review that even will do justice to the amazing month I just spent at the Buena Onda. The hotel property itself is beautiful. You can tell there was a lot of time and thought put into making it so nice. Its a mini resort, with a beautiful pool I spent most of every day reading beside,... More

My wife and our two kids, 5 and 8, stayed for a week at this friendly, beautifully maintained resort. We started out in the Europa room, but then upgraded to a room with a North-South orientation for more comfortable sleeping. Lots for kids to explore--beach combing, mango picking, great pool. The pool guy brought my kids coconuts and opened them... More

We were at Buena Onda for three days, and I have only good things to report. Conny was extremely nice and helpful, the food was excellent, the rooms simple and clean and the beach and surroundings beautiful. I think the sky at night on the beach was the more star-filled than anything I've ever seen - and I've been to... More

Just spent 3 lovely days at the resort. The entire stay was perfect. Location was remote yet very well maintained. The food was exquisite, and my 2 kids (11 and 12 ) had plenty to do with the pool, beach, and skate park. The two dogs ( Marley and Blue Sea?) were great companions. Conny was a lovely host and...

My husband and I rented the Oceania room for 4 nights. We REALLY enjoyed the very clean pool! The whole resort was very relaxing, just steps away from the beach. We have been traveling for 3 months and this was the best place we stayed at! The meals didn't blow us away, but overall it was a great experience and... More

I love this place. Came here to visit the local clinic that I support. Everything was clean, everyone was nice, the location was away from the hustle and bustle of citylife. They had everything you could ask for to stay "connected", wifi and cell phone service were great the whole time. From the moment I arrived in Managua, I met... More
