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 are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. However your reservation was made for 2 people in a standard double room with one queen bed, yet you arrived with 3 people. We have a strict occupancy policy to ensure the comfort of our guests and that the rooms/hotel are not overcrowded. In cases where guests arrive with more people than the reservation allows we either offer an upgrade to a family room, if available, or we must refuse the reservation because the information was not accurate. In this case there were no other rooms, because it was a busy holiday weekend. Instead we made an exception for you and allowed all of you to stay in a room meant for only 2 people. We advised it would not be up to our comfort standards but you requested to stay anyway. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy the stay more but if given accurate information we are confident that we can provide you with a better experience in an appropriate sized room for your party.

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!

Excellent experience across the board!
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!

On the beach hotel with super chill staff
I really liked the super chill staff at Costa Oeste. This is a nice hotel in front of Playa Santana, with minimal amenities, comfortable bed, and the public area had a nice set of hammocks, pool area is clean and welcoming, enough parking spots behind the hotel, all good. the good: -I arrived 3 hours before check-in time, quite tired and with a splitting headache. They were kind enough to speed up room cleaning. I waited in the beach lounge area for 45 minutes and the room was ready for me, this was fantastic! -rooms with great ocean view -good room ventilation (even though there is no AC) -perfect location for those sunset shots the bad: -could be a fluke but nothing I ordered from the menu was available, and their own website menu doesn't match the real menu. Nevertheless, the chef managed to make a nice and tasty seafood dish the ugly: -nothing, all good and very recommendable!

Thank you for choosing Hotel Costa Oeste and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We offer a/c rooms both upstairs and on the garden level as well as more economical fan only rooms. We only offer fresh seafood dishes, so unfortunately if the fisherman don't have anything fresh then we won't offer any specials that day. The standard menu is always available. Thanks again and we hope you can return again soon!

Costa Oeste was great for a relaxing (quiet) getaway. The staff is wonderful. The food was delicious and the views are amazing! Some of the furniture could use an update but we were still comfortable. We highly recommend renting a 4WD vehicle as the roads leading to the property is completely unpaved and is in a very remote location. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend staying here.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious with a great view of the beach. The pool and beachside lounge area is nice with hammocks. However, we did not have hot water the first morning so showered and washed my hair with cold water. The restaurant was pretty empty and the tacos I ordered were pretty bad. Had to pay US$ 30 extra for a room with AC. Nice hotel with great potential, great staff but expect more for a hotel that charges US$150 per night.

The time of year matters
A quite beach. Check with the hotel to see if it is beach season (lots of sand) or surf season (less sand more rocks). The time of year matters. This is a nice new building, lots of room to relax, surf, swim or stargaze. Not much to do in the area but we did enjoy the food, staff and drinks.

Thank you so much for choosing Hotel Costa Oeste. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. This has been a particularly active surf season with large waves for most of May, June, and July. The surf crowd has been ecstatic, but the waves have eroded most of the sand for the moment. We should be back to a full sandy beach by December/January . We hope to see you again.

Hola Juan. Deseamos que haya tenido una mejor experiencia durante su estadía. Las habitaciones se limpian a diario y se inspeccionan antes del check-in de cada huésped. Lamentamos que el baño no haya estado a la altura de sus estándares. Verificaremos con el servicio de limpieza para ver qué pudo haber salido mal. Desafortunadamente, debido a que se encuentra en una parte remota de Nicaragua, la electricidad puede fallar ocasionalmente, especialmente en la temporada de viento. Pero tenemos un generador que encendemos que permite que las funciones básicas de luces, ventiladores, etc. sigan funcionando hasta que regrese la energía principal. Por respeto a los demás huéspedes del hotel, no permitimos el uso de parlantes privados. El restaurante toca una variedad de música durante todo el día y la música que compite al mismo tiempo puede ser desagradable. Sin embargo, la playa está a solo unos pasos y eres libre de llevar tu música allí. Esperamos que disfrute de sus futuros viajes.
