I really liked the hotel at first sight. Upon arriving the check in staff was not friendly at all. I was very aware that there would be charge for the 5th person but its the way she expressed herself was rude. Also the room was dirty and smelly. The linen had lizard poop on it and the bathroom smelled awful. We kindly asked for her to please change the sheets and to please clean the bathroom. Again she did so in a rude manner. At this point I was so frustrated. I drove from Managua to Leon with family to experience the beauty of the beach. Tired and frustrated I decided to take my family to the hostel 2 hotels down to eat dinner. The customer service there was awesome nothing like where we were staying. Also the pool was dirty. My nephew had to clean it. I will say the next morning staff that cooked breakfast was awesome and very nice. I hate that I didn’t get her name. Lastly I will say the hotel is beautifully decorated but staff needs good customer service skills.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was roomy and clean. Water heater didn't seem to be working or maybe they don't heat their water but we found it refreshing coming in from 90's temps. Food is available at the restaurant. Drinks and snacks easily available at any time. Grounds were clean and nice. Bring repellent, tons of mosquitoes. Location was walkable. Restaurants nearby. Beautiful beach with amazing sunsets.

I was recommended to go to Las Penitas a small surfing village by the locals and it was amazing, I stayed at Hotel Tranquilo and it was all first class, the service, pool, food, music play list and drinks, if you are lucky you will meet the owners Jack and Carmen, they go above and beyond. I highly recommend it.

Any place on the beach is going to have a great feeling. The air, sound of the waves, and relaxing atmosphere are soothing. This place puts you there. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was good but not great. The room was comfortable, clean, quaint, and functional with the amenities you’d expect at a hotel.

I had rigorously traveled around Nicaragua for the week prior to my stay at Hotel Tranquilo. I craved some much needed recharge time, this place couldn’t have been more perfect! Food was great, rooms were nice, hot water, hosts were second to none. I was even lucky enough to meet and exchange war stories with the owners, great folks, proud owners that care about their property and guests. The beach was great, and clean. I will be back with kiddos next time!

We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay here at Hotel Tranquillo . We had arrived in Las Penitas later than we had expected but Carmen reached out to make sure everything was okay . You can really tell Carmen and Jack really care about their guests and want to ensure that they feel accommodated and welcomed . The hotel grounds are beautiful . Quaint and feel like a little paradise . Rooms are spacious and so nicely decorated . It was very hot the days we were there but the property had many shaded areas you could sit and relax or play many of the games they have there at your leisure. Food was really good . The gallopinto had everyone raving & the drinks were 10/10. We were travelling with two other families we all left with the consensus of truly enjoying our stay and any chit chats we had with Carmen and Jack . We would gladly book our stay here next time we are in the area . Thank you so much Jack and Carmen .
