    I liked the place overall. They have different spaces to chill: Bar, sofas, outdoor tables, the pool and hammocks. Staff was kind and helpful. And the room was just like in the pictures.

    We were upgraded which was lovely! The room was big and the AC was fantastic in the heat. The shower was hot which we loved! The location is great - if you let the people at Finca Popoyo know you’re from Nicawaves they let you use their beach...

    Great place to stay if you fancy a pool and good food. Ensure to get one of the better, larger rooms. The staff was kind and helpful. We loved the food and the prices for drinks and food are fine. The pool area is lovely and you can hang out there...

    Amazing location! (On the side of the river with the surf, if you stay in a hostel in the "town" you have to cross the river to surf which you can't do at high tide or get a lift on the long road around, as you can't walk that road way too far)....
