Javi is a fantastic host. He has the town wired and can help you with just about anything you need, from surfboards, to fishing trips. The food his family made for us was fabulous. And the place is only getting better, as they are constructing a new bar and restaurant in the common area.

Javi is a wonderful host and his place is terrific and everything is as advertised. Know that Scorpion Bay is very remote and not for a tourist seeking luxury and resorts. It is for surfers chasing the swell. Some basic advice: 1- bring booties as the lava rocks are sharp and are everywhere along the shore. 2- bring Solarrez or some type of ding repair. Sometimes when the tide gets low your board might hit a rock if you drop down on a closeout. 3- bring enough pesos to get you through as long as you plan to stay. The town doesn’t take credit cards, the closest ATM and bank are about 3 hours away via car. Regardless of all that Javi is there to help at all hours of the night and is really a special host. Plus his sister who is an excellent cook will make meals for you as a very reasonable price. If you are a surf Nomad and want to visit Scorpion Bay, Javi’s is the place.

I stayed at Javi's place with 2 friends for 5 days, and it was a wonderful experience. Javi was very responsive, and helped us with all our needs. There is an A/C available, but we didn't need to use it, the provided fans in each room are enough. If you want to use the A/C, you will need to pay a little money for the gas that is needed to run the generator. Each room is also equipped with a TV and its own bathroom. Javi is such a wonderful host, he helped us with many things, even organized for 2 evenings a cooking at the house, so we just needed to come home from our surfing and sit at the tables and start eating. If you have a chance, take advantage of his place, it is in walking distance to the first point, and if you are a good walker with a surfboard, the second point might be also walkable. For the other points you might want to use your car if you come for surfing, or prepare for a longer walk. Otherwise everything important is in walking distance like a store, or a few restaurants. I can highly recommend to stay at Javi's place, I will return if possible.

Stayed in Javi’s 3 bedroom house for 8 days in August with my daughter and another friend. So very nice to have the air conditioning as it was hot and humid, we all slept like babies. Went fishing with Javi and Mele on a slow surf day and caught 9 dorado and 1 bonita in just a few hours on his boat. A great value and so very convenient to get just about anywhere in San Juanico. Javi and his family will welcome you and literally treat you like one of there own.

We enjoyed our time at Casa Javi. Fishing with Javi was great. He is an awesome host. The house is comfortable. Solar plus batteries give you more power than the rest of town. Stop in Constitución for gas, food, and cash. The town is cash only, no cards. The beds were nice and the room fans were powerful. We never opted for AC. If you want AC, you have to pay for the gas to run the generator. We cooked a lot of meals at home since there were not a lot of open restaurants. Javi took great care of us.

My friends and I had an amazing time at Javi's place. It is in prime location to everything. It's only a few minutes away from surfing 2nd and 3rd point. We very much appreciated that Javi would check in to make sure everything was "ok". This place is amazing, beyond spotless, and also has everything you need to stay. One of the many highlights of our trip was inviting Javi's family over for dinner. It was an amazing experience and the best fish tacos my friends and I have ever had. More importantly, it was a wonderful experience to have had the opportunity to eat together and talk about Scorpion Bay, Surfing, Fishing, and everything else in life. Javi and his family are just amazing and beyond hospitable. If you are a Surfer or a Fishermen. Javi's place is where you need to be. I highly recommend staying at Javi's and I look forward to returning there again soon.
