Perfect location right on the beach with a lovely bar/restaurant serving great food. Staff were super helpful (especially Alex at reception) and whole place was really clean. Really lovely friendly atmosphere

Chille plek direct aan het strand. Medewerkers zijn vriendelijk en het eten uit het restaurant is prima. Er hangt een ontspannen sfeer en elke dag is er beach volleybal.
De gezamenlijke keuken is echt oud en kan zeker een upgrade gebruiken. We vonden het matras ook te hard maar dat is natuurlijk persoonlijk.

Lovely hostel directly at the beach. Atmosphere is great. Many spots to chill and relax.. every evening there is an option to join an activity in case you would prefer. Staff is very helpful and kind!
Had the best surf lessons here during my trip in Nicaragua!
Was planning to stay one night, but ended up staying 4! Highly recommended!

Toller vibe, man ist quasi direkt am Strand. Jeden Abend wird Volleyball gespielt und es gibt eine Happy Hour. Das Essen schmeckt gut, es gibt aber auch noch weitere Restaurants nebenan. Die Betten haben alle Moskitonetze.
Die Duschen und Toiletten waren bisschen zu basic und hätten öfters gereinigt werden müssen.

The location of this hostel is amazing. Right on the beach with the bar area opening onto the sand and sea. The staff are friendly and the place has a really chill vibe. I had originally booked 4 nights but stayed for 9. The bus from Leon runs every hour and drops you off right outside the hostel so it's very easy to go to Leon and surrounding areas.
Nothing to dislike.

Mano a Mano is absolutely the best place to stay in Las Peñitas. Location is amazing (right at the beach). Good food, Wifi, comfortable rooms with van (temperature is good a night). Besides this, they offer volleybal games and other activities.

The atmosphere, the staff, the fact that there was a guitar available to play.
At night it was too hot and the too fans were not enough.

The place is really nice and clean.
Sadly pets weren’t allowed.
The 50% in advance of the reservation was very complicated, I needed to go to the bank to make a deposit or pay through a link.

Beautiful eco hostal on the beach. the staff are lovely, volunteer Julianne and surf coach Kelvin are the best. every bed has a fan, locker (with plug socket inside) and mosquito net. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, but there is also a shared kitchen if you want to cook for yourself. You can take a private surf lesson for $25 or hire a surfboard for $5 an hour, $7 half a day and $10 full day. Every day at 5pm the locals come to play beach volleyball as the sun sets. they also have a yoga deck upstairs with yoga mats.
nothing. the only thing you should be aware of is there are no ATMs or grocery shops in Las Peñitas.

Everything was perfect and it was just sad to leave...
The facilities are great, the location, the view, the food. Every single person working at Mano a Mano is super nice and creates a very good atmosphere for everyone. Thank you for everything

All what I expected was met. I love to have silence and peace when at the room. I would like to go again. The staff was so great and very honest, I value so much that!!
I was missing so much my type of drinks which was not on the menu. Bamboo or Cubata is a great option they should include for the one that prefer something sweet and soft.

Beach access, the yoga deck, having a double kayak one could borrow for free to explore the mangroves, cheap surfboard hire
We stayed in a private room - the walls are incredibly flimsy so you can hear word for word your neighbours’ conversations. On our last day when we picked up our backpacks which had been lying on the floor, they were covered in hundreds of tiny mites. The bathroom door doesn’t close and is see through so a bit awkward if you were sharing the private room with people you’re not super close with. One of the women working at the bar was unbelievably rude - we ended up eating elsewhere as we didn’t want to deal with her again.

- The beds were comfortable
- Bonfire in the evening
- wifi is bad
- loud music because of a event (was not communicated). There was loud music at 6.30am!!
- activity board is just show. If you ask employees things, everybody says something else. There is only yoga if the teacher shows up (if there is even a teacher).
- kitchen and bathroom are dirty. Toilet doesn’t flush properly

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location right on the beach, great restaurant with quality food options at fair prices, and a generally very well organised hostel.
I would only say that during the really hot hours of the day, there's not much place to escape the heat when everyone is trying to find comfy a spot in the shade in the common area. Not a major issue but I imagine it could get a bit crowded when at full capacity.

The owners are the nicest people and this hostel is so well thought out. The place has everything you need and is one of the most beautiful places we stayed in on our whole trip.
