I loved sitting here every morning and having a cappuccino. You can see the ocean.
Cozy living room vibes (guilty of photobombing everything with my favorite new hat).
Little collection of handmade local crafts for sale.
This feels like Nica.
And the yellow hat strikes again.
Classic sunset view of Playa Maderas, just down the street.
Living on the edge!
Taking it all in, with my yellow hat.
The rooms are quite simple but I love the vintage details.
Custom mural in one of the rooms, by the one and only Allison Kunath.
a better yoga deck in Nicaragua and I’ll give you my yellow hat.
Highs & Lows

Stunning view of the ocean, every sunset was a treat.

Size. you really feel at home, as the 6 rooms spread across two buildings. There’s a lot of room to roam and I had the pool to myself most of the time
-
Healthy food and snacks, which are hard to find outside the main cities in Nicaragua.
-
Fast WiFi, I was able to work all week uninterrupted.
-
Private jungle path to the beach, keeps you off the dusty main roads.
-
Some noisy evenings when outsiders come for dinner, if you have a room in the terrace.
