Very nice place overall, it looks much more expensive than it is. Pool is cleaned daily. Easy place to relax but close access to the beach. Away from the noise of the backpacker hostels. The food is outstanding. I'd happily stay there again. The employees don't speak any English but are attentive and friendly.

The Italian family that owns and runs it is very nice but all 3 are chain smokers. The mom and dad basically sit in the open air restaurant and smoke all day which makes eating there less enjoyable. When none of their guests are smokers you'd think they would get a clue and change their habits.

The place is spotless. This place is put together (and also built) by professionals. Italian owned, so the food was outstanding, wine selection - pretty much the best I've seen in nacaragua, and the list goes on. Our casita was beautiful. The b'fast (included) was top notch; with a varied selection, outstanding juices and coffee. Highly recommend!

Super minor inconvenience, so consider this feedback. But having to buy drinking water (and it was cheap) rather than having a jug available for guests, was an inconvenience. But, repeat but, it's not a deal breaker just an observation...

This hotel is just lovely! We felt at home right from the beginning, the owners are such lovely and welcoming people who went out of their way to make our stay special. They were always available for questions, even helped me with a little birthday surprise for my boyfriend and prepared breakfast boxes on days where we left too early to eat proper breakfast. Which brings me to my next point- the food! It’s a wonderful breakfast with nice variations and it’s also one of the top places in las penitas for dinner. The rooms are a decent size and decorated really cute. They were cleaned once per day, the bathroom is nice and clean as well and so is the overall area of the hotel and the pool. We even tried extending our stay here, but they were already booked (rightfully so! 😊). It’s super close to the beach hostels , which are the main hang out spots in las penitas. Would recommend this for sure- great value for money!!

This is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed at and made such beautiful memories here. The host is so kind and so accommodating and all the staff are so nice. The food at the restaurant is so delicious and we were able to order it to the pool and our room! Super close to the beach and so many good restaurants. Cute cat at the property too. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Nicaragua 🥰

Nothing it is as perfect

What a little gem!!!!! We had been travelling for 5 months so wanted to treat ourselves for Christmas - staying at Puesta del Sol was wonderful. The communal areas are beautifully decorated - the pool area was a slice of heaven - so relaxing and loved the decor. The pool itself was pristine! Our cabana was amazing - so comfortable, great design and loved how it was decorated. We were staying for 4 nights and didn’t really want to leave. Breakfast included was great - so tasty and a good variety of options. The staff & owners were brilliant, always on hand to help with anything. The cabanas are set back from the road behind an Italian restaurant, which is run by the same people - it was really delicious food and always busy. And having the restaurant there meant that you could enjoy a lovely chilled glass of wine whilst sitting by the pool in the sunshine!

It would have been good to have had some filtered water available, instead of having to buy bottles each time, but only a minor thing! Also, worth noting that the property is not on the beach front but set back on the other side of the road from the beach. It is a quick one minute walk to the beach so very close.

- The owner + the staff are so attentive and kind. The owner arranged an early morning taxi (6:30am) for me to the airport when I left, and prepared a to-go breakfast for me. Unbelievably thoughtful and so appreciated!! - Loved the pool and the grounds are lovely, great place to chill - The restaurant has wonderful Italian food - Short walk to beach, excellent location

- The towels were quite scruffy

The breakfast was excellent. The room faced to the ocean, beautiful view. Local restaurant was also perfect with italian cuisine. The owners was Italians, very kind and helpful. The pool was not big, but ideal for relaxation, partially covered with tropical plants.

During the hottest hours the room was a little warm despite of aircon. The restaurant was at higher price than usual in Nicaragua.

1. Beautiful cabañas - new, spotlessly clean, decorated to perfection, with attention to every detail. There was even a plant in the room :) air con and also a fan, safety deposit box, big mirror; patio to seat outside; 2. Great pool to chill; 3. Amazing restaurant (I had carbonara, as I craved for something that reminded me home) and it was great; 4. Lovely hosts and all staff - I woke up early and one of the staff saw me and brought me coffe to my cabaña 😍; If you go to Las Peñitas, don't think twice - and if rooms will be avaiable, book straight away, you will not find anything better in town.

Great spot right across the street from the beach. Clean rooms, nice pool, friendly staff. Working AC. Fast wifi. The restaurant was amazing, loved having amazing Italian dessert each night of my stay before nodding off in the hammock by the pool. They make fresh pasta and bread onsite, both of which are amazing and I drank lots of their fresh juice. The owners are wonderful. They made sure I had everything I needed during my stay, including rides to and from the airport, arranging tours, showing me how to get around, giving recommendations on what to do, etc. They really made my trip! Nicaragua is a wonderful country and Las Peñitas is a special little beach town. I’m so happy I stayed at Puesta del Sol! I’ll definitely be returning!

I loved everything about the property!

Breakfast delicious and beautiful beach just the other side of the street. The owners were lovely persons and nice staffs.

Nothing wrong with the hotel but there are a lot of poor stray and hungry dogs all around the village, it's very sad to see. There was one night where right next to our cabañas a little dog whined and cried for hours while I heard others fighting. One night, I found it unbearable to hear and we couldn't sleep my husband and I.
