We booked SurfZone via the internet months before we went to Nicaragua, this is usually something I don´t do, but I got over excited for the trip. A few days before our arrival we were told we were upgraded to SwellView Villa (closer to Playa Maderas) due to roof damage at SurfZone. There were 4 of us in total. But... More

The place is beautiful. Great architecture, great layout, fantastic atmosphere. The pool is great. Chely and Magenta do a fantastic job of making you feel right at home. You feel more a guest of their's than a guest at a hotel. It is off the beaten bath. Quite remote, giving lots of peace and quiet. Yet walking distance to Playa... More

I traveled with a few friends to surf a few days in Playa Maderas, Nicaragua and we stayed at Surf Zone. This place was super nice. It is all open air, surrounded by tropical jungle, with a small, but pretty pool. The paintings on the walls are awesome...palm trees, parrots, waves, sunsets...made of colors that all blend to create a... More

Do not go to this plqce, you can do so much better in San juan Del Sur and even in the street where this so called hotel is located, this is 30 minutes drive from san Juan Del Sur. The owner does not seem to be able to motivate his staff, heard horrible stories about him. The pool was dirty... More

On the whole, loved Surfzone and we look forward to going back with friends during the winter holiday. Beautiful spot, nice rooms, and walking distance to two stunning beaches. Totally off the grid and away from the heavy party scene in San Juan, but close enough if you wanted to catch a shuttle in for some people watching. Chely was... More

We stayed in Surf Zone for three nights and it was amazing. The hospitality of the couple running the place is the best (try there delicious meals and cocktails!), the rooms are beautiful and because the hotel only has four rooms, you'll always feel that you have a luxureus hotel all for yourself! It's near to the best surfing beaches... More
