Dreamsea Surf Resort Nicaragua

Absolutely loved my stay at Dreamsea. The property is beautiful, rooms are fresh eco-lodge style, peaceful and surrounded by nature, with such a unique jungle/surf atmosphere. Everything felt very clean and well looked after, and the staff were genuinely amazing so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The pool and common areas are beautiful, and the whole place has a really relaxed and good energy. I also loved the food and the activities. It feels like much more than just a place to sleep - it’s an experience and a community!

Honestly, very little. Even though there is no AC in the rooms, I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and comfortable the room was. The natural airflow and surroundings made it perfect for me.

Personeel was echt mega lief! Daarnaast was er een mega betrokken Italiaanse vrijwilliger, iedereen onthield je naam. Erg fijn.

De wc was iets verder lopen van onze kamer. Bij het zwembad waren geen ligbedden enkel stoelen.

The colourful plants, the vibe, the construction

A little bit of sewage smell

The people staying at the dorms seemed to be satisfied with it. But there was not a lot that I liked. The place looks amazing from the outside. Has great 'potential', but it's super run down inside and feels like a disaster. Especially for the $80 per night I paid. Thank you for the free smoothie (that wasn't on the menu, I couldn't choose it - just something they threw together).

The list is pretty long. I really wasn't sure if I want to leave this review but the disappointment is too much. I felt frustrated that the booking said double room with a private bathroom and not the external private bathroom. Easy to assume the bathroom will be attached - it's not. I was really looking forward to having my own bathroom attached and that’s why I booked it. The check in took over an hour. I wasn't shown anything around the resort. I couldn't choose what dinner I wanted, it was only one choice - pretty pricy and not very good. The fan is really loud in the room. The curtains mouldy and if it was windy outside they keep on floating - unable to feel comfortable naked. Bedside table lamps have European plugs so couldn’t use them. Plants are dying. Internet in the room was on and off. I slipped on the stepping stones on the way from the reception to the room... Also, I mentioned all this to the reception staff and because I paid already, they couldn't do anything. She apologised. But my disappointment stayed with me. I don't ever leave bad reviews because I know they are harmful for the business. Dreamsea is a big company though and the standard was awful. I hope no one else has this experience for this price.
