Disappointed the room at the top of the hill (unique room) didn’t have running water to shower in the evening or morning. Very short periods only.
Common areas especially communal kitchen, dining area not cleaned well.
Library full of spiders and not cleaned.
My room had wooden shutters and no glass on the windows. Spider found in room, had to buy insecticide.
Concrete floors no rugs.
Good air conditioning.
My stay here was great, it's a very beautiful property. The pool was refreshing, and there was different seating options to hang out. It was not very busy when I stayed here, so it was a very relaxing atmosphere. I would be thrilled to stay here again in the future.
Beautiful, comfortable, and amazing staff. This was a great place to get away from it all and relax. I was a solo traveller and enjoyed it here. With a group of friends this would be an amazing place to stay.
The hotel was located a fair drive away from San Juan Del Sur, but was close enough not to be really inconvenient. Check in was easy and they gave me a suite/private cabin which was fine for me but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with trouble walking as it was up about 10 flights of stairs, but the view was fantastic.The food was fine and the staff was friendly and helpful when necessary.
The hostel is amazing and the staff is great! They have so many things, from a yoga deck to a cinema room, it’s the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed. People are pretty chill since everyone staying there is just relaxing, surfing and going to beaches around. The location is a little bit inconvenient but they’ve shuttles to the nearest city.
My gf and I had a great time staying at Salena Maderas. It was a great place to unplug and relax. The beach is about a 10min walk away, but what a beach it is; if not one of the best surf beaches I've ever been to. It was clean, and the water was pristine. The staff were warm and friendly. The surf school was great, best instruction and guidance I've had thus far. Thanks Salena Maderas!
Check-in took much longer than it should have. There were only two other people in my eight bed dorm, but I wasn't allowed in the room until 3pm, so I had to change in the main public bathroom and wait. The location is remote and the private shuttle they organized for us to leave was over an hour late. Facilities are great, but the organization and service are lacking.
The hotel is really close to Playa Maderas wich is great, it just opened about two weeks ago but the facilities are in great shape, it still needs some finishing touches but overall it was a very pleasant stay. Loved the breakfast buffet although it would be better if you can include that in the room price.
