Host was awesome! Warning on web about needing a 4 wheel drive would have been nice and that the restaurant was not open any more also! But we still had a great time! Our host Said was very nice and helpful!

Epic Vacation Spot

This home is outstanding, and the location could not be better! The pictures do not do it justice - the view is stunning and the house is gorgeous (so much natural light) and sooooo comfortable. The location is a 20 second walk to a magnificent beach – one could not ask for more. Our hosts were nothing short of incredible hosts. They helped us with everything we needed. There was so much to do (boat trip, walking the beach, watching the sunset over the ocean, relaxing on the porch etc.) I can’t say enough good things about our stay. We highly, highly recommend this place. We will back!

Thank you very much Andrew and Taylor. It was an immense pleasure to have you at Playa Tesoro. Nicaragua has had a tough 3 to 5 years with Covid and all. But, the flights and tourists are back now, and it is clear Leon and area are now a destination. Thus, we are inspired to as of the Fall of 2022 to pour money into Playa Tesoro. People who come now will see a massively improved road, boat tours, big upgrades on all the homes, and a new Food Service option at the club house site. So, glad that you enjoyed the natural beauty, as it really is stunning. Gracias

Canceled at the last minute

We were really disappointed when the day we were planning to arrive at this property we received a notification saying our reservation had been canceled. This was a disappointing way to begin a vacation.

Secluded Beauty

We enjoyed our mostly private beach for the long weekend. The easy beach access makes the drive to this secluded area all worth it.

Perfect beach retreat! And the most friendly, welcoming staff. A real hidden gem!

Playa Tesoro is a perfect getaway destination. Fresh food, a private beach, great rum, and the most welcoming people. Thanks for the amazing memories!

Enjoyable and secluded

Great location and setting. It is a bit secluded which can be good or not, depending on what you are looking for. The miles of beaches are shared with almost nobody, and the ocean is friendly for adults and kids to swim, surf, boogey board, etc.. Not a lot of services nearby, but if you come prepared not an issue at all. Leon is close enough to make day trips but ideally you remain on the property to take advantage of the location.

Belle propriété pour ceux qui aiment la nature et n'ont pas peur de l'isolement.

Notre séjour à la Playa Tesoro fut très apprécié. L'environnement est très authentique, tranquille. La maison est telle que montré sur les photos. Propre, toutes les commodités sont disponibles (cuisinière, réfrigérateur, 2 grandes chambres avec lit confortable, air climatisé). Internet est disponible à partir du bâtiment destiné au lobby à quelques pas de la maison (en raison de vents, la connexion n'était toutefois pas toujours possible). Le chemin pour s'y rendre n'est pas évident mais nous avions reçu photos et cartes pour nous guider. Les gens sur place sont aussi très sympathiques et là pour nous aider si besoin. Nécessaire d'avoir un véhicule 4X4 pour s'y rendre (notre petite voiture s'est enlisée à quelques reprises dans le sable, chemin est accidenté) et d'arriver de clarté pour bien suivre les indications / repères sinon on s'y sent perdu. Le personnel du lobby offre les repas (choix du menu restreint). Conseillé de faire un arrêt à l'épicerie avant d'arriver car la maison est passablement loin de la ville.

Great stay at lonely beach

My girlfriend and I stayed for three nights at Playa Tesoro. It war wonderfull. The staff was very nice and cooked a great meal for us. There are only 3 bungalows there, so you have your own private beach. And - the best of all - we had seen a see turtle lying their eggs, right in front of the bungalow. I hope, they will not build to many bungalows nearby, because we liked the calmness. You really nead a 4x4 or any other "higher" car to get to the beach. Otherwise you have to take the taxi service.

My daughter and I stayed for 5 nights at the Purple bungalow last week. It was awesome. Thought I would get bored and want to keep travelling after two nights on the beach. Not the case. My daughter (and I) didn't even want to leave to do to Leon in the evening. Boogie boarding was a blast, swimming safe and easy. Tonnes of birds singing in the Mangroves. No bugs, nor mosquitos. Great on shore breeze to keep us cool on the terraza in the Nica heat. Project just getting rolling, but we loved it and the bungalow AC in the bedrooms was AWESOME!
