Hospedaje Yellow House

Caribbean Coast


The closest thing Bluefields has to a hostel, the Yellow House is a brightly painted collection of buildings set in some fairly wild gardens by the waterfront in the barrio of Santa Rosa, a short cab ride from downtown. Rooms are ultra-basic and share bathrooms, but come with mosquito nets and use of a big kitchen.

The Swiss owner welcomes guests warmly and offers fishing trips, community visits to settlements along the coast and overnight trips to the Pearl Keys.
