I stayed at Maderas Village for two nights, way too short, but nonetheless a great experience. The boutique hostel & hotel is up on the hills overlooking Playa Maderas, so if you're a surfer, you can always check the swells up on top of the Dreamcatcher House. The dinners at Maderas Village are top-notch and super good ... definitely have... More

This place is wonderful, you will literally feel like you are staying at a friend's house with all of your basic needs taken care of. A great place to come with friends, meet new friends, or just relax on your own. It is a short walk from the best beach in Nicaragua with amazing sunsets. The staff is great and... More

I was at Maderas Village last week with my daughter and I am seriously having the worst holiday withdrawal I have ever experienced. We simply had a wonderful time. When I inquired about visiting I was told to think of it as something between a boutique hotel and a friend's house. The description is perfect! We felt very much at... More

Everything about it was great! Most relaxed I think I've ever been in my life. The hospitality was amazing and the food was incredible and so fresh! All of the staff was so nice and became our friends instead of just people that work there. All the other guests that were there during our stay were awesome and we have... More

Our trip was intended to recharge, re-energize and to explore what Nica has to offer. The Maderas Village was the ideal spot to not only recharge in the warm sunshine but to also stay connected (if so desired) as there are idyllic working spaces equipped with wifi. Most days we awoke to culinary bliss and an inspired space to work.... More

The formula for a great travel experience isn't overly complicated and yet there are so few destinations that get it right. From the moment I got in touch with Dickie I knew right away that they had put a lot of thought into creating a meaningful experience for each and every traveler that came to stay in Maderas Village.

The minute you land all you have to worry about is finding your bag.....the folks at The Maderas Village do the rest! we suggest landing in the afternoon so that you'll be in san juan del sur by sunset to kick off your trip. when you get to the Dream Catcher House, dinner will be awaiting you and you can...

I traveled to Nicaragua for a week over New Years and stayed at The Maderas Village for 7 days. I travelled with 3 of my girlfriends. We had the BEST time. The Maderas Village is a great place to kick back and relax, surf and/or yoga (if that's your thing), and meet some cool people. We met some amazing people... More

I stayed here based on a recommendation from a friend and I could not have been happier. I had an amazing vacation and it was all due to The Maderas Village. The people, services, activities, food and general vibe of the place made it a relaxing, exciting, delicious and fun experience. A lot of cool and interesting people stay here... More
