Surfing Turtle Lodge

Puerto Corinto

I had an amazing time at the Surfing Turtle Lodge. The island is beautifull and waking up there was very peacefull. I like that they use local ingredients for the food, the pina colada is a real recomondation! When I was there it was not super busy (low season), but that gave me time to really relax and chill, which it is a perfect place for. I like the hut where you can practise yoga (next to the sea), there you also have the best sunset views! I slept in the dorm which does not have vans, but is kept cool due to it being open on both sides (with a sort of gauze wall). I dont know how warm it will be when all the beds are taken, but for now it was good! You'll wake up early if you don't put on a sleeping mask, but that is what I loved about the place. I woke up at 6 by the sunset and the beautifull suroudings, which was amazing. Also I really liked the food there. It is a bit more expensive than it would be on the mainland, but since this is an Island and they need to ship it there, I get it. 

Lovely time at the Surfing turtle lodge

Easy to get here from Leon , very well looked after the nature . You can surf all day long . Very comfortable rooms and dorms . Food is great and very fresh from local chef’s . 
Every day activity are going on on the beach or near the restaurant . Clean docility’s

A beautiful peaceful place with amazing staff , recommend to stay minimum 3 nights to enjoy most . Great organiser . Tha

The place is absolutely beautiful and the hostel is good if you want to rest and not move from the place. Hence, if you're a Backpacker, this place is a paradise 

But, be aware that :
- there is no other restaurant in the surroundings, except the hostel, and it's expensive and you'll wait an hour for your food.
- they will not clean your room until you're gone and I don't want to remind you that toilet paper goes in a trash bin in Nicaragua
- I did not see the solar power (as described on their website) but I did hear the gas generator.
- If you want to flee, be prepared to ask for a horse and a boat (which can be long) as the hostel is far away on an Island.
- If you plan to rest, take into account that they do like to party on Tuesday.



Not as good as they sell it to me 

Turn off and enjoy! This place is something very special and we would have liked to have stayed longer. The atmosphere here is familiar and we have had many nice encounters. - Very friendly and helpful staff - Surfing opportunity - Volmeyball together for sunset - Delicious food - Baby Turtles - Beach walk at night, where we could watch Mama Turtles lay eggs - Starry skies - Away from all the troubles - Everything that the heart desires. Thank you very much!

What a great place to stay.

This hotel is not recomendable. It is kept very poorly, the restaurant is below average and our bungalow was more of a shag. Staff is Not attending well, you always have to walk over to thema to order something.
The surrounding is stunning and the beach is nice.

Very dissapointing

It's a great place to have fun, there are so many ways to distract yourself with the different games they offer, they're so kind to you, at night accommodation and easy access, you just get by the hour and the boat will be waiting for you.

Excellent place.

This place is makes you feel one with nature. Starting from the arrival after crossing a river by boat. You then take a horse cart ride through a beautiful local road. A few minutes later you arrive to a lush property full of palm trees and flowers. As soon as you walk in to main common area you can hear the sound of the waves from the reception. A great place to relax during the day and take part in the festive activities at night.

A great place to relax and be one with nature.

I spent 10 days during X-mas and New Year. It was highly relaxing. Stunning empty beach where little turtles were released twice a day (bunches of almost 80 every time), program run by SOS Nicaragua. I slept 3 nights alone in the big 18-beds dorm on the first floor (10 $) : although many comments on previous tripadviser's reviews are correct, nevertheless when somebody is sleeping there, a thorough cleaning is done daily, so for me it was perfect. A nice breeze from the sea was entering through the windows protected by mosquito nets. A huge veranda was a good spot to read calmly or to perform yoga. The last 7 days I camped with my tent (5 $). The restaurant is good and not that expensive : 4 $ for big breakfast incl. coffee and milk as much as you want - lunch/dinner around 7 $ or fish 13 $. As I was eating only one meal a day at 3/4 pm (apart from breakfast), I preferred to cross the river and eat good fish in the ranchos at the pier in Poneloya. There was good music at the reception all day long but luckily not too loud : it didn't reach the beach nor the upstair dorm. Lots of local staff for few guests, max. 40 persons at tthe beginning of the year. Ping pong table, cards, volley ball net, surfing boards available. Not anymore (or not yet) a party hostel. Highly recommended !

Just Perfect !

Super nice place. The surf was epic, although the rip current was very strong, but man, what waves :). As for the Yoga,,, we arrived 2 weeks after the seasons ended so there were no yoga instructor... however, the staff were really helpful and sorted yoga classes for us either way. Food was nice and the people lovely... I can recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and have a great time:)
Also, the flor the cana rum will keep you happy ,,,,

Mr.Marcus

Very chill place, far away from the villages. Empty beach just for the guests, but bad waves for surfing - don’t expect much (for beginners will be fine). Delicious food, even if you have to wait sometimes for 1h (when it is full booked). The way to get their is not so hard as it might look - just go by chicken bus from Leon to the first stop in Poneloya, find Chepa’s bar and ask for a boat1$). After the horse will be waiting for you (free) or you can walk 10 minutes (the pass is well marked).
We have stayed in the bamboo hut - amazing experience  to feel the beach vibes. 
Best sunsets and friendly stuff!
