The room was clean, the staff was super friendly and accomodating, the surrounding is noisy (but that's all of San Juan) so bring your earplugs. Would definitely stay again.

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!

I believe that their add on Expedia says beach property. It’s a block away. They have a nice restaurant but restaurant patio is 4 feet away on an open patio. You can hear them as well they would hear you too?

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 Rooms were small and very out of date.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.

Great location. Nice rooms, comfy bed. AC and hot shower. The walls were thin though so if you are on the ground floor expect some noise from the street and the restaurant.

air conditioning was excellent. We didn't eat breakfast but were offered it. It's a good restaurant so assuming it would be good. The only drawback is for older people as there's a steep set of stairs if your room is top floor. Otherwise, it seems good value.

This was a perfectly situated place to rest between long days at the beaches near by. Clean and comfortable beds. Loved having my own washroom and shower. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.
