Buena Onda Beach Resort

Resort

Excellent service. Blessings.

Excellent service. Aurelia and Jilly are great hosts. Great food, beautiful place, perfect atmosphere! I want to go back.

Super cool place to enjoy the beach. Nice service and the food is delicious. They also have craft beer from Erdmans, kambucha and other delicious drinks. Highly recommended.

This place was amazing! People here were so nice. We stayed in a big house and it was beautiful. There is security on site 24/7. I had my 9 year old son with me and he really enjoyed the pool and concrete skate ramp by the ocean. We did a horse back ride too. Everyone was very accommodating. The food and drinks were never a disappointment. I'm booking my next trip and staying here again! Now with my 7 month old son too :)

Absolutely amazing! Untouched beauty first hand.

Nice place to spend a week and eliminate the stress.

Spent a week there. Delightfully chill. Staff is friendly. Place is immaculate. Food is fantastic. You'll want to go back even before you reach concrete. I will return.

This was my first experience here in Nica… great staff, good food… awesome surf guide, Patrick… he'll take care of you!

Buena Onda beach resort beat our already high expectations. We spent a week in the Villa Don Ernesto, a nicely equipped, beautiful spacious 2 bedroom house. The thoughtful layout of the beautiful gardens made for a relaxing time spent by the pool. The kid friendly environment made for a stress free, safe stay. We couldn't say enough about the amazing staff, they went above and beyond. From our arrival to departure they put us at ease in a friendly casual atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit.

There is a skateboarding half pipe super cool at the beach and they let you use skateboards for free! The staff is very friendly and polite. The place is colorful, clean. The pool is clear as the air. I highly recommend this place. The beach is a beautiful natural show! Consider plan you vacation at Buena Onda.

This is a very good place with reasonable rates for the area. You will pay premium if you want A. C. A lockbox and private bathroom etc but it's still far cheaper than other places. Bit of a warning, some rooms have poor ventilation and get super hot. Beds are comfy and there is hot water and good pressure in the showers. Pool is very nice, and the beach really is just steps away. Pretty spectacular! Food is ok but you will probably need to venture out for more variety — there are a fee other good places nearby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything I needed was provided. I enjoyed my time here!

This is a really beautiful camp. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the service is excellent.

Hands down, 5 stars. Great accommodations on site, including restaurant with affordable food (a little bit pricy for Nicaragua, but the convenience is a factor), pool & a 30 second walk to the beach break. The staff & owners are very helpful. They coordinated our transportation to/from the airport for $40/person. We stayed in the Private Villa, which was incredible. A/C, maid service, kitchen, private balcony, you name it. Surf wise, we scored in the summer, offshore winds blowing all week. If you're looking to get barreled & chill in a laid back beach spot, go here! We mainly surfed Playa Santana, but there are other breaks nearby. Only complaint surf wise was that the waves closed out sometimes, but could have just been the sandbar at the time. Only other complaint was that 3 friends and I got sick, not sure how we got the bug. It was paradise… I plan to definitely go back :)

One of the best. Probably better than Magnific Rock.

Beautiful place, clean nice and with security, place is very nice except for the owner, we were asked to quiet down while the crew was having a party upstairs with music (crazy) also they charge for everything, we had to ask even to get our change back when we payed! Sometimes is not about a nice place but about service quality, not good a surf vibe from the crew.

Good food, clean rooms, security. Property and pool are well cared for. Food prices are a little higher than elsewhere but I wouldn't expect less since it's very convenient to just eat there. They should let you refill water for free to cut down on plastic. We stayed in a bunk room for 4 people called "Europa". The room has 2 fans but no AC, the screen windows are small and it doesn't catch breeze very well. We left the door open every night for more air flow. All of us at some point ended up sleeping outside on hammocks or cushions under the rancho. For the budget traveler that wants some convenience and modern features it's pretty nice. The only gripe is more airflow in the room. Staff is very friendly and seem aimed to please.

The perfect place to disconnect, close to all the waves. Good food and great staff!

Let us rent boards and use their mini halfpipe, cool place.

A quiet place, with a cool swimming pool and rooms very comfortable. The prices are good. Ideal to go with family or friends.

Great staff and great food! Inexpensive accommodation, grounds amd rooms are well kept. Beach at your doorstep and hammocks for days!

Best place I have stayed at. Surfed everyday, the staff was on point and the scenery was great.

We arrived late at night to Managua and stayed in a hotel close to the airport our first night. We scheduled a ride with Buena Onda to pick us up from our hotel in Managua at 8am the next morning. Alec was on time, funny, and so polite — great first experience right there! he took us to Pali! to grab groceries for the 8 days we would be at Buena Onda. He waited outside by the truck with our bags and surfboards! My first thought when pulling up was "oh my gosh it really does exist! " We planned or trip months in advance and just kept looking through the pictures. Day dreaming at work another words. Brenden and Jenny met us with a welcome beer and told us how everything works on the resort and told us the surf is real good if we wanted to just chat about it later and go ahead in the water. Awesome people! It was 4 of us (2 couples) and we stayed in Casa Don Ernesto Villa! It's perfect. It had everything we needed from cookware, coffee, creamer, sugar, silverware, dishes, towels, linens… everything! No complaints from our group. They were also willing to set up any activities and rides we needed. From horse back riding, to massages, to surf trips… anything you want — the crew at Buena Onda will do their absolute best to get you the best! I highly highly recommend this place! it was completely safe, honest and couldn't of felt more like a home away from home in Nicaragua. Thank you Jenny and Brenden!

Buena Onda was one of the highlights of my wife, 19 year-old daughter and my trip to Nicaragua last winter. Philip and Sarah are gracious hosts and really strive to make their guests welcome. The facilities were much better than we had expected from a hotel that caters to surfers. We aren't surfers nor were at least half of the other guests. The beach was beautiful, excellent for walking and quite free of litter! We had called the day before we arrived and were lucky to get their last room. Our daughter went horseback riding every day down at Santana Resort. She was delighted with the quality of the horses and convinced the caballeros to let her ride a different stallion every day. Meals at Buena Onda were a delight. The food was excellent and we very much enjoyed visiting with the other guests. This spot is well off of the beaten path. We took a cab to get to Buena Onda and had Phillip arrange our outbound transportation back to Grenada.
