Cute, clean hotel

Cute hotel. Very quaint, clean, good breakfast. Good value for the price. We stayed at the casita. Bed was a bit hard and they don’t have colchas just thin bed covers but overall it was ok. What I love the most was that it is very Nicaraguan.

A true tropical gem!

Small, clean, friendly hotel in excellent beachtown location! Fabulous cooked breakfast consisting of NICA local fare. All employees strive to make stay pleasant. Our 2nd visit to this city-I would certainly stay here again. The pool was extremely clean. All aspects of the facility are well maintained. I would recommend!

I could live at La Posada Azul.

This was my 4th or 5th trip to San Juan del Sur and the first time staying at La Posada Azul. This place appears to be an old colonial style hotel, dark wood floors, verandas and rattan furniture and tropical landscaping. The setting is beautiful, the pictures can hardly do the place justice. Breakfast was amazing, my favorite was the breakfast burrito and the kitchen were all very accommodating. The front desk staff were all very pleasant and also accommodating whether I needed a hair dryer, a bucket of ice or directions to local attractions. The room was spacious and quaintly appointed with rattan furniture including a large wardrobe. There is no television in the rooms, which I found to be a positive. And the shower was hot! (a luxury in Nicaragua). They have 3 or 4 seating areas where one can read or just sip a coke or Tona from the "bar". You could help yourself and just had to note on the sheet at the bar what you had taken. And they have a small boutique with items from local artists and businesses such as pottery, woven baskets, beautiful scarves and coffee. I will definitely be staying here again.

Slice of Paradise in San Juan del Sur

The Posada Azul was wonderful. Perfect location, incredibly clean, wonderful breakfast, and lovely staff. The property was pristine and a slice of paradise. The only way it could have been improved is the addition of some hammocks in the garden ;) Thank you for a perfect stay!!

Charming but Hard as a Rock

The Posada Azul is a charming old home converted into a small hotel. It is quite charming and well located. Most of the staff were nice and attentive although a couple could use a little more customer service training. Although small, the rooms were nice and clean. Our major complaint is the bed. It was as hard as a rock. Neither my wife were able to get much sleep. We are international consultants and accustomed to sleeping in all kinds of hotels. However, I don't think we have slept on a mattress as hard as the one at the Posada Azul.

Stilvolles kleines Hotel in guter Lage

Sehr schönes Ambiente in einem ehemaligen Holz-Wohnhaus, stilvolle Einrichtung, die hinteren Zimmer (Zi. 4 bis 6) sind sehr ruhig, Zimmer nahe der Straßenseite leider etwas laut wg. Verkehr (Zi. 1 bis 2), kleiner Pool aber schöner Garten, gutes Frühstück und sehr freundlicher Service, gute Lage in Strandnähe in einem kleinen Touristenort. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen "Stadtstrand" mit Restaurants dahinter, keine Liegen, kein Schatten, weniger zum Schwimmen und nicht zum Relaxen geeignet. Insgesamt jedoch niedrige Bebauung und nicht hässlich.

Everything was perfect!

Everything about our stay was perfect! We arrived early in the morning before check in time and they allowed us to store our luggage. Once the room was ready we checked in very easily. The hotel staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is a small hotel with only 7 rooms. It includes a full, served breakfast every morning and it was so good! Ours was fruit, muffins, coffee, tea, juice, and a different entree each day. The grounds are very nice and tranquil with pretty flowers and a nice pool. The pool has towels so no need to pack one or use the one from your room. The honor bar was very handy when we didn't want to go out to the stores in town. There is a little store attached with cute gifts to bring home. The location is perfect! Just off the beach on the quieter end of town so you can relax if you want or just take a quick walk and be right in the thick of the party. There is a watchman at night, so we always felt perfectly safe. I would and will stay here again. They are wonderful!

Great Little Hotel

My wife and I loved this hotel. Staff was amazing, location was perfect, and the colonial style courtyard was a great place to relax. We have stayed in many boutique hotels in Central America and this one just might be our favourite. The breakfast was also much more than we were expecting. If you don't like this little gem there might be something wrong with you.

Great hotel close to everything!

Stayed at about 5 hotels in Nicaragua and this was my favorite! Ideal location close to everything you need in San Juan del Sur without the noise and inconvenience of staying on the main streets. This hotel is tucked away in a nice little corner off of a side street away from the main drag, but close enough to walk anywhere you want. This is more of a family oriented hotel with only a couple of rooms. Everything is very clean, well maintained, with friendly staff. Breakfast each morning was unique and delicious!
