This spot is lovely with sea breeze and a great view. It’s very relaxing and quiet. Great views from the Terrance, the hammock is the best part. Rocio was always responsive and helped with anything I needed. It feels safe and well taken care of. Update from other reviews: There are plenty of kitchen supplies now and a bug net around the bed, fan above and a floor fan as well. I’ll be coming back again soon I hope. 🤞

Gigante is real Nicaragua still. The Nica and western locals here are both rad and so so inviting to travellers who come to town. This is the perfect spot to stay in gigante if you don’t want to be in a hostel. 10 minute walk on the beach or 3 minute moto ride to the main street. Beautiful location on the cliff looking at both playa gigante over the forest and playa Amarilla. Great breeze, epic sunsets awesome host. Can even check the surf with binoculars at panga. Stay here, you won’t regret it. ⚡️

I absolutely loved this place. Being up on the hill with that beautiful view of the Amarillo surf spot was amazing. The house was minimalistic and nicely furnished, and my favorite spot in the mornings and throughout the day was the hammock – perfect for relaxing and reading.

we stayed ten days amd the views from the balcony with the two hammocks never stopped to he absolutely amazing. two beaches are in walking distance. rocio is very sweet and always quick to help, when there a problems. sadly almost everyday water wasn't runing and or the electricity was gone. rocio did everything in her power to get everything back on track. I'm agreeing to the criticism almost everyone wrote so far: there's a massive lack of kitchen utilities. the pans and kettles are bad, no glasses, no salt oil anything. one person also said, that on pictures it all looks minimalistic and clean... well clean it is, but it feels a bit empty. this place has soooo much potential, i hope at one point the owners would invest just a little bit and make it cuter and more welcoming. but still my friend and i were very happy that we stayed there.

Great place between the two beaches. The terrace has the view on both sides and you have peace, yet not far from infrastructure. An absolute hit of luck in the area!!! The only drawback of the kitchen does not offer any basic amenities such as salt, oil or sugar and is also quite rudimentary. For example, glasses were missing, but cups without end :-)

We stayed there for 5 nights and we enjoyed it very much. You can absolutely switch off and the view is wonderful. The property was clean and everything was there.

Expected a lot from the the pictures (clean, minimalistic). It has lots of potential especially due to the location but the place is not maintained well. There is a long list of issues, some key items: - rooftop construction above our head during several days which we were not told of before. Lead to noise and a lack of privacy (workers climbing in front of windows and on the roof) - Daily dirt from the construction including a dead bat next to the bed - Dirty bathroom when checking in which was "cleaned" very poorly after previous guests - high hanging hammocks, one of which broke upon first usage. So one of us fell with the tailbone in the rock floor below with pain still one week later - Inpolite attitude of the cleaning person. The local person managing the place tries her best to make one feel comfortable despite the circumstances (one star is for her!) - lack of mosquito protection on first floor We were about to move out upon arrival but lacked alternatives of holiday season.

Rocio is such a sweetheart- she's very attentive and responds quickly to any questions we had. She connected us with a surfboard rental, and a taxi on the day we left. She made sure we were taken care of during the whole stay. Screens on the windows are a needed addition as the mosquito net didn't quite cut it. Curtains downstairs would be nice as there were guys working on a building behind us often looking in and maybe a few more kitchen items ie. lids for the pots. Amazing views, great location, would definitely stay again!

Best spot in Gigante! With views in all directions, and a quick walk to 4 of the most beautiful beaches, food, and surf - Puesto del Sol is it. We came for a little work away trip and loved our workdesk set up in this beautiful micro casitas. Tips: Monkey Bar next door para desayuno y cafe, Juntos for sunset drinks and eats, Playa Redonda for crystal clear snorkelling, and Playa Amarillo for totally untouched beach walks.
