Marsella Beachfront Hotel

On Playa Marsella's sand, a beachfront hideaway minutes from Playa Marsella and close to Playa Maderas. A short drive (about 5 km) puts you near downtown San Juan del Sur and landmarks like Nacascolo Beach and the Christ of Mercy Statue. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, this small beach hotel is built for surf days and slow sunsets.

Staff speak English, Spanish and German, and on-site services include a massage room and concierge to help plan excursions.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge on the terrace or picnic in the garden. Dive with the local diving club, let kids loose in the playroom, or unwind at the massage room—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access. On-site essentials include a bar, restaurant, tour desk, laundry and safe-deposit boxes; pets are welcome.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free self parking is available onsite and an airport shuttle is offered 24 hours for a surcharge; front desk operates on limited hours.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and there’s a beach bar for cocktails by the sand. Expect simple, satisfying meals that match the laid-back coastal vibe.
