Mama Sara's is an awesome place to stay in SJDS. It is a block or two from the beach and is cheap! It has a kitchen and clean rooms, fan and a place to even do your laundry for free. We loved it and we highly recommend checking it out if you want a great place for a great price!

Cheap of course. Final price was not the original....hmmm. OK for the price but the price might vary based on what they think you should pay. It will be somewhere between16 and20 and all the rooms are basically the same...one with bunk beds Rooms are fine, small, no reading light; but in the heat, the air just doesn't seem to... More

I've been a bit lazy with writing reviews recently but mama sara's deserves it. We were welcomed in instantly, shown around and decided this was a good location, very clean and had a good kitchen. After dumping our bags and sitting on the balcony we were bought a plate of food and drink- completly unexpected but more than happy as... More

The folks at the Corner House in Ometepe referred me here, and they were spot on. I felt welcomed immediately and enjoyed Mama Sara's perfect location, close to everything, yet quite tranquilo when I wanted to return for peaceful sleep. Mama Sara is affordable, safe, clean, and personable. I was able to practice my Spanish and whenever I passed through... More

A homestay disguised as a hostal. One of the cleanest places we stayed at in Nica. Mama Sara is a genuinely warm mother who takes excellent care of her home and guests. She also periodically prepares and shares delicious meals/drinks with the guests. She and her family will help guests navigate SJDS, facilitate connections for getting cheap food and water,... More

While walking through the streets of San Juan del Sur looking for a place to sleep, and not wanting to take any of the sketchy looking men up on their offer for a cuarto privada.....a taxi driver named Goyo recommended Mama Sara House, he even led us to her doorstep! As soon as we walked in Mama Sara offered us... More
