Costa Oeste

I wish I could give this place a low score to keep it off people’s radar, but I can’t keep this gem to myself. Where to start…The staff are all amazing and super helpful. Willing to book horse back riding, taxis or get you set up with a motorcycle rental. The rooms are cleaned daily and there is always someone around to take a food or beverage order. I travelled there with husband and two teenagers. Kids were pretty independent on site. They swam everyday, played in the ocean out front or walked the beach. They fell in love the two cats - Marlee and Snowball and dogs Kaya and Ziggy. We felt super safe. What I wish I had known was how close various beaches were. So if you’re heading down to surf, there is a spot 5 min walk south. 10 mins north you’ll hit beginners beach - great for kids. At that beach there is a restaurant you can eat at, at the top of the hill called Magnific Rock I think. Beautiful for sunsets. Beyond Beginner further north is Popoyo surf break. We used a motorcycle with surfboard carrier to shuttle ourselves to Beginners Beach and Popoyo as it was easier. We didn’t fly any surfboards down. Costa Oeste has some to rent on site or you can rent at Beginners Bay if you don’t want to transport it down the windy beach. Food - amazing. We ate at Costa Oeste a lot or ventured next door for great vegetarian and vegan fare. Surf 99 was okay. The red building at Magnific Rick was really good too. No issues eating the veggies or drinking ice cubes. Hope that helps!

We had a wonderful time at Costa Oeste! We were a family of four with two small children, and we were thrilled with our choice to stay at Costa Oeste. The layout of the property was perfect for entertaining kids all day and having plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the beach, the pool, our room, the bar, restaurant and games. The staff was incredibly friendly and we felt so well cared for the entire time. Definitely THE SPOT to stay in Popoyo!

Our stay at Costa Oeste surpassed our expectations in every way. The room was impeccable...clean, comfortable, spacious an nicely designed. It was perfect for our family of four. With only six rooms in the whole place, it was also so peaceful and quiet which we really appreciated. The staff were great...helpful, very pleasant and they provided great service. The food at the restaurant was just superb (which I can't say about everywhere in Nicaragua). Portions were very ample and the quality (taste and presentation) was excellent. It's the first time in Nica that I had a juicy, tasty burger! The grounds were beautiful and the pool area as well. Everything was so well-maintained. Location: You can't get better than the Santana beach area. Not a surfer but it's the best surf in the country. As for swimming, the shoreline is rocky but you can definitely find pockets of sand and once inside, it's sandy and shallow. We had a blast in the ocean! We can't recommend Costa Oeste enough! Would love to come back!

The workers, the vibe, the food and the service was amazing. I went with two kids and they helped me arrange a safe ride and tour guide that helped us see all the sights. 10 out of 10.

Excellent location; food and service. Mattress could have been more plush. I would definitely recommend as a great getaway for families and couples also individuals wanting some R&R.

The room was clean. The staff very friendly and helpfull. The view was wonderfull. My 18 months baby could play outside with supervision. The pool was also genial.
