Looking into where to stay at Las Penitas. Considering Hotelito Oasis, Barca de Oro, or La Samaki. Anyone have advice on picking a place to stay? Thanks! | ||
we stayed at Barca de Oro. it was nice. laid back. $20 for a room with 2 single beds, private bath. la samaki is the only place in town with internet :) oasis looked ok too. they were on the main beach. there's a side beach that's less crowded. oh what am i saying? there was like 20 people on a huge beach in early january. las penitas rocked! | 1 | |
I too stayed in Barca de Oro but visited La Samaki as well, and ate in both places. I would be happy to stay in either. Same prices. | 2 | |
Stayed at Oasis. It was fine. $15 for double....$20 for the rooms on the beach. | 3 | |
I had a great time in Las Penitas. It's a great backpacker destination. I recommend staying in the dorms of Oasis ($6). DON'T go to Playa Roca--the American owner (Cookie) is cheap, strange and possibly a bit racist towards the local Nicaraguans. | 4 | |
