Playa Hermosa Ecolodge

Considered by many to be one of the best beach hostels on Nicaragua's south Pacific coast. The open-air, six-bed dorm rooms in this rustic paradise catch the breeze to stay cool at night. Private rooms upstairs have giant mosquito nets. There's a great vibe and surf scene here, with a chilled-out, open-air restaurant. Transfers from San Juan del Sur are included.
