The Surf Club is an amazing place to stay. The tree houses are awesome, each with a nice view and are very comfortable. The views are phenomenal but most importantly the owners and the atmosphere that they have created make this place truly special. The food was outstanding as well. I highly recommend to anyone going to visit Nicaragua. The... More

Our entire trip to Nicaragua was fantastic and staying at BVSC was a highlight. I booked a treehouse and surf lessons as a surprise for my husband and it couldn't have turned out any better! The two young couples who host the hotel as well as the owners take every opportunity to make sure you have what you need and... More

... staying here right now. It's as good as I remember from last year and I'll be back for more. Easily deserves its number 1 Trip Advisor ranking and various recent global press mentions. No surprises that they have been busy this year but the exclusive number if guests means it is always intimate and always cool. A cut above.

After some initial scheduling issues, we were looking forward to ending our vacation at BVSC, hoping that our stay would live up to all the previous reviews. It did and we are so glad we stayed committed to visiting. Our two host couples, Ashley & Jose and Jet & Alex, were lovely and provided us with excellent meals all three... More

Booking at Buena Vista is the best you can do. It takes some time to get there, but it is worth the trip. Where SJDS itself is pretty crowded, this place + beach is the perfect place to relax, take some yoga lessons, read a book, meet some new people, enjoy good breakfasts and dinner and ride a big wave....

Gesellig is a word unique to the Dutch, difficult to translate into English (especially if you don't speak Dutch). It's a blend of cosy, friendly, relaxing and welcoming. Buena Vista Surf Club dishes it out in spades through its owners Marc & Marielle with the support of Jose, Ashley, Kathleen and Jordan. It is a truly special place, with amazing,... More

Buena Vista Surf Club is truly one of the most special and amazing places we have ever stayed anywhere in the world. It's simply beautiful, off the beaten path, and very relaxing. However, it's not a luxury resort (a plus in my book), which means it's not for everyone and therefore, it does attract a certain type of traveler. Marc... More

I'm sure like many other travelers out there, I've always been in search of that magical, amazing place to stay while traveling; some place that's more than a bed to sleep in at night- a place that's truly an experience unique unto itself. It's usually a hit or miss. This time, I felt like I hit the jackpot! Buena Vista... More

Buena Vista Surf Club is not for everyone. If you are a member of the Four Seasons or even the Marriott fan club, this is not the place for you. However, if you do not mind the lack of warm water in the shower, no AC in the rooms (you really don’t need it) or the 45-degree incline trek to... More
