We loved our stay. Gianni, his family and staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The perfect stay in Popoyo. We would stay here again when visiting Popoyo :) Muchas gracias

Great location, easy walk to the beach and surf break. Tropical vibes with hammocks surrounding the property.
I loved everything about the property.

Gianni is a brilliant host, super friendly with fun chat and very helpful. Norlan the housekeeper is also a lovely guy. The room was comfortable and clean (it was also cleaned a couple times during our stay), the kitchen is really good (fresh coffee every morning!), there are hammocks and tables outside for hanging during the heat of the day. The location is excellent - just off the beach, near the only two shops in Popoyo, next to several restaurants and opposite a board rental place. Easy access to the reef break (about 10-15mins walk), a bit longer to Beginners Bay. Wifi wasn’t great in our room but fine in the communal spaces. Great vibes, wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful week staying at wild waves in Popoyo. it’s a lovely little place, beautiful little room and a kitchen with all the amenities. We were seconds from the beach, minutes from Popoyo surf break and a 15 minute walk to beginners bay. Giancarlo, his family and staff were all lovely and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about the local area and the surf and he’s always there for any of your needs. we can’t wait to stay again. Thanks Gianny.

This was one of my favorite stays in Nicaragua. The location was so peaceful and quiet for sleeping but there are also several places nearby to grab a drink. The owner Gianny was so so kind and him or his lovely staff/family were there if you needed anything. The kitchen had everything you could need for cooking and was spotlessly clean. I loved that the fruit/veg truck drove by here selling things every other day. I really enjoyed the free coffee every morning and loved the atmosphere of this place, great for solo travelers and meeting other people. Beautiful garden with hammocks and it was right on the beach. Compared to other places in the area with a private room with en-suite this was really the best value for your money

The best place to stay in popoyo/Playa guasecate. The owner and staff where super helpful and accommodating. Giancarlo is very knowledgeable about the surf in the area. Right on the beach, but sand in the room and common area was not an issue compared to other places I have stayed on the beach. The place was always really clean. Free coffee is ready every morning. We will definitely come back to wild waves.

Giancarlos and his lovely family went above and beyond to make our stay very special. The location was absolutely perfect to check the waves as you walk straight onto the beach. The room was spotless and cleaned every day. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. It has definitely been the highlight of our trip so far. Absolutely loved it.

I made a mistake with my booking but it was no problem at all for Giancarlo and we fixed it straight away. The surf house is very clean and located right off the beach and within walking distance to the local restaurants and convenience store.
Giancarlo is very knowledgeable with all the local surf spots and can give any advice you need.
Our taxi was delayed when we checked out and he went out of his way to drive us to the bus stop.
The surf house is an excellent place to stay if you want to be right next to the surf with a well equipped, clean kitchen and friendly staff.
The wifi worked perfectly and there are boards to rent across the road with surfing out front on high tide. Magni rock (beginners bay) is about a 25 minute walk across the river at low tide.
Would highly recommend 🤙

Gianni and his family were wonderful hosts. Gianni was constantly and instantly ready to help, answer questions, or just to chat. We ran into some trouble with our surfing class where we felt ripped off and Gianni intervened to help us get some financial restitution, although he really did not have to. The vibes are immaculate, the beach is nice and the room was nice, big and clean.
We would definitely recommend anybody to stay in this place if they get the chance.

We had a great time here. Very relaxing! The owner helped us regarding getting to the place which is not the easiest. And Nordal who works there made the stay very comfortable, he enjoyed cooking so we had nice dining time with him. Super equipped kitchen.
Internet problems that are understandable for this location.

The location of the house is perfect: 20m walk to the beach, nice bars, cafés and restsurants nearby.
Nice hammock place to relax just behind the house.
Large rooms, good storage possibilities and enough plug ins to charge your electronical devices. Each bed has it's own fan which is really important with regard to the moskitos...
There was a mistake with the reservation on booking but after a quick phone call with the owner we found a good solution.
Unfortunately the bathroom in the 2 bed room is really smelly and the water drain in the shower works just badly. If you open the window in the bathroom your room will be filled with moskitos as there's no moskitonet on the window there. The big window to the patio has a moskitonet.
