The house
This is where it all started.
Casa Oro was the first hostel and the first surf school in San Juan del Sur. It's still on the same corner, one block from the central park. The other four houses, the café, the shuttles and the chocolate all grew up around this house.
Inside there's art and colorful murals everywhere, and walls that were eco-building experiments. On the second and third floors, the balcony wraps around the corner: a good spot to watch the town go by.
Café Oro is on the ground floor. Breakfast is included, and there's fiber internet and filtered drinking water. The beach shuttle leaves from the door, and you book surf, tours and transport at reception without leaving the building.
A day at Casa Oro
From the lobby to the beach.
This is how a day can go in the middle of town. Step out the door and you're already on the street.
Pull the curtain.
Every bed has its own curtain and locker. You get up, lock away your things and go have breakfast, which is included.
To Maderas, right from the door.
The Playa Maderas shuttle leaves from Casa Oro. Hop on with your towel and you're in the water in no time.
Where you stay with everyone.
Casa Oro has a lobby and fiber internet. Work for a while, or plan the afternoon with whoever's in the next bed.
The beach, at the end of the street.
The balcony wraps around the corner. From up there you see the street, the town and, at the end, the ocean.
The sun goes down
And the night, steps away.
You walk back.
You're in the center, so nights out are on foot. If you came by car, it stays on the street: parking is free and guarded 24 hours.
