My stay at El Caite was absolutely amazing! The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of San Juan del Sur, close to everything, including great restaurants, shops, and all the main attractions. The bar downstairs is simply outstanding. The service is impeccable, the staff are friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere is exactly what you want when staying in a vibrant beach town. I will definitely be coming back without hesitation and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Juan del Sur!

Upon check in we did not get any info if there is wifi, they didn’t tell us that the hotel lobby doors are locked past a certain hour. So we might have not been able to get into our room. Rooms were small and very out of date. Not clean.
