I flew into the airport in Liberia, costa Rica and made my way up to San Juan del Sur looking forward to a hot shower and a nice bed. It was dark when i arrived and the herbal smoke that rolled across the patio was thick. I had made a reservation and sent a deposit, just needed to check in.... More

How can you complain when the first step you take outside in the morning is right onto the sand? We checked into Yajure with intentions of staying only a night or so. We had to extend our stay because we just love this hostel and love Chely. He is awesome, friendly, welcoming, and pretty darn hilarious. He has an exuberant... More

I stayed here back in August of last year with six of my girlfriends after staying in two different hostels in San Juan Del Sur before hearing about Yajure by word of mouth. Hanging out by the pool was amazing...there is so much room so nothing feels cramped. The hostel is right on the beach so there is always a... More

Planned on 4 days, stayed 3 weeks. Best atmosphere of any hostel I've stayed at. Always a great crowd, social atmosphere, great common area outside. You can buy beer there or bring your own, Ping pong table, tv room, clean swimming pool, right on the beach, hammocks to chill out in all day under palm trees. Can't beat this place

My boyfriend and I stayed here at the tail end of Semana Santa and loved being away from the craziness of the town. The hostel is very clean and Chely, the owner, is extremely nice-- he handed us cold beers the second we got there-- and very helpful, offering us advice and surf lessons during our stay. He definitelyThere were... More

Hostel Yajure was an amazing place to stay--I stayed here with a girlfriend of mine at the beginning of our trip in Nicaragua, and we absolutely loved it. We planned to stay for only a couple of days, and extended it to four since we were having so much fun. The atmosphere at Hostel Yajure is what makes it so... More

My friend and I stayed at Yajure for a couple days at the beginning of our trip. It was the best hostel we stayed at in Nicaragua. The hostel is exactly what we wanted out of a hostel - really relaxed and fun. The whole place has a really awesome vibe. Chely is laid back and fun to chill with.... More

The beachfront location and the people who run the place (even oscar) are unreal, the pristine pool and the open space living were the nicest and cleanest we saw in 5 months of travelling through Central America. The music and the chilled out vibe were all-time. Chely and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Didn't matter what we wanted,... More

Living in Costa Rica, I travel to San Juan del Sur often for a little vacation from my life of vacationing. The first place I ever stated at was Yajure and have stayed there ever since. It is located on the beach at the North end, about a five minute walk from the busier part of town, which is really... More
