Delicious Food

During my stay, I was blown away by the quality of food at Nicawaves. The meals were excellent, and it was genuinely the only place in Nicaragua where I didn't experience any stomach issues. Friends who were staying nearby even came over for dinner because they loved it so much.

Comfortable & Clean Rooms

I had a private room that was just perfect! It was extremely clean, and the staff ensured it was tidied up every other day. I loved having a great air conditioning unit that kept the room cool after long surf sessions.

Awesome Surf Experience

I took the surf package, and it was worth every penny! Our guide was fantastic, ensuring we scored the best waves and had the best experience both in and out of the water. I had so much fun on this trip.
