Stayed a few weeks in early Sept. Nice and quiet as it is off season. The place is Gorgeous with beautiful views. Lightning storms over the Bay were fantastic. Peace and quiet compared to being in town. Timothy and his wife are the recent owners. Tim is supposedly and "amatuer" chef but i have had meals there that make the best gourmet restaurants in Florida pale in comparison. The rooms are simple but beautiful. No TV's but this is a place to relax and you can't find better in town. Timothy and his wife are a wonderful and interesting well traveled couple who are very accommodating. Tim set up a nice Scuba dive for me with a great local dive master. Would return in a N.Y. minute

We stayed here for the final week of our holiday around Nicaragua and found it to be the perfect way to both to relax in a bit of luxury and to visit San Juan del Sur and the surrounding beaches.

The sunset views over the bay were amazing, our room was spacious and comfy and the French/Belgian couple were really friendly and helpful - giving us lifts to the beaches and town centre and helping to organise surfing and turtle watching tours for us.
The real highlight was the food which wouldn't be out of place in a top restaurant back here in London- try the steak and enjoy the breakfast.

I close my eyes and wish I was still there!

My husband and I have just spent a relaxed overnight stay at El Jardin. Room 10 and 9 have wonderful views of the sea. The rooms are bright, clean and very pleasant with their own balcony, which is perfect for a relaxing stay. The owners are wonderful hosts and the food, which is prepared by Timothy the owner, is made with care and the passion of someone who loves to cook. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to have a peaceful break away from it all! Would definitely stay there again, and recommend it to anyone who prefers small hotels that have a personal touch.

Stayed here for two nights and loved it. The view is amazing (from room 8), the rooms are great, and it's not far from town and the beach. The owner was even nice enough to drive me into town. I could have spent a whole week there.
