Nicaragua Resort: Chef Arrives at Nicaragua Hotel

Resort in Nicaragua Welcomes New Hotel Nicaragua Chef

It's all coming together at our San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua resort.  Our new hotel chef, Geronimo Athuel Amaral, arrived today.  Although he was born in Brazil, Amaral is familiar with cuisines from around the globe and is especially experienced with Italian, Oriental and Brazilian cuisines.

Educated at Senac, a world-renowned culinary school, Amaral developed a keen understanding of menu development, kitchen management and plate aesthetics.  His food is absolutely amazing.  Formerly the chef at Miramar Surf Camp, the demands of a Nicaragua hotel venue are nothing new to Chef Amaral.

Geronimo has been developing his craft for seven years.  He is sure to be an excellent addition to our Nicaragua resort.

Beach Hotel Nicaragua: Hotel in San Juan del Sur Gets New Look

Nicaragua Beach Hotel: Hotel in San Juan del Sur Gets Remodeled

Our hotel in San Juan del Sur is upgrading its natural surroundings to form a beautiful beach hotel in Nicaragua. After consulting with landscaping services and nature reserves, we compiled a list of the most aesthetic plants that we could cultivate in Marsella, and thanks to careful research and hard work, our Nicaragua beach hotel looks better than ever.

The nature surrounding the Marsella Beachfront Hotel in San Juan del Sur is unrivaled.  Thanks to our location in the southern part of the country, we enjoy the complex plant life that northern regions do not.  This includes hibiscus flowers and many fruit-producing plants.  Our property is covered with coconuts, which are just as fun to cut down as they are to eat.

Below are some photos of the new landscaping at the Marsella Beachfront Hotel.

Surf in Nicaragua: Beaches in Nicaragua to SUP

Anyone planning a vacation to surf in Nicaragua should keep in mind that Nicaragua beaches offer some of the best stand up paddle boarding around.  With offshore wind, clear water and gorgeous headlands, the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel will introduce you to this trending watersport in one of the most exotic locations in San Juan del Sur.

Nicaragua Surfing: Best Nicaragua Beaches for SUP

Yesterday, we went on on a one hour trek to experience stand up paddle boarding in Playa Marsella.  Most of us had never tried the sport before and had a blast learning something new, fun and active.  Needless to say, this won't be the last time we stand up paddle board at the Marsella Hotel.

If you've read our other posts, you know that Playa Marsella is a secluded beach, enclosed by two towering cliffs.  This is the perfect scenery for an SUP session.  We paddled within a few feet of hollow caves, carved deep into the sides of the bordering headlands.  Playa Maderas is only a 15 minute paddle away, and when you journey around the cliff separating the two beaches, it's a whole new perspective of the ocean.

On the other side of Marsella, we paddled South, around the other headland and to an uninhabited beach.  The journey tool about 20 minutes, and the sight of waves pounding on high cliffs, producing incredible rock textures that only nature could create, made the experience both humbling and liberating.

Although, at the moment, there's not much demand for stand up paddle boarding in Nicaragua, this trending sport is sure to reach the tropical region of San Juan del Sur.  The aesthetic allure of the land and sea, and the forgiving nature of the clean waves, makes San Juan del Sur the perfect destination for paddle boarders.  At Playa Marsella Beach Front, we will have a selection of carefully chosen SUP designs that will interest beginners and even the most advanced paddle boarders.

Hotel in Nicaragua: Nicaragua Beach Hotel and Restaurant

Nicaragua Hotel: Beach Hotel in Nicaragua and Restaurant

What could make the best hotel in Nicaragua better?  Great food!  And not just great food--fresh seafood and pizza cooked in a Nicaragua-built brick oven.  That's what you can expect at our Nicaragua beach hotel.

We just finished putting a shingle roof on our outdoor seating area and the Playa Marsella Beach Font is transforming everyday.  When we began this project one month ago, no one could have guessed the quality of the outcome.

We're putting together a menu that features cuisine from New Orleans, the Mediterranean and Nicaragua.  We'll have everything from fresh lagosta to shrimp po' boys.  Our three-course menu will be developed soon and I'll have it posted here ASAP.

If you have any questions, want to make a reservation or come see the place before we open, email us at playamarsellahotel@gmail.com.

Vacation Costa Rica vs Nicaragua Beach Resort

Costa Rica Vacation or Beach Resort in Nicaragua?

So, you've decided on Central America, and naturally, a vacation to Costa Rica or a trip to a Nicaraguan beach resort are at the top of the "potential destinations" list.  But why not have your cake and eat it too?  Why not stay on the border of these two incredible countries, enjoy their natural beauties and experience a variety of activities that most resorts wish they could provide?  At the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel, this is exactly the type of vacation we provide.

But let's look at the facts...Costa Rica is a lot more expensive and suffers a more humid climate in many areas.  And at the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel, you're getting all the excitement of Costa Rica and more.  

San Juan del Sur and Playa Marsella feature the exotic wildlife and nature of Costa Rica, including monkeys, mot mot's, hibiscus flowers and tropical plants.  Combine that with our hotel's traditional architecture and oceanfront view and you've got the whole package that Central America has to offer.  The infinity-edge waterfall pool doesn't hurt either.

We're also adding some new, fun activities to the list: disc golf, paintball and repelling.  Combine that with beach volleyball, surfing, spearfishing, diving and snorkeling, and it's hard to say that one week here is enough.

As we speak, our team is hard at work building a two-story, outdoor seating area for our restaurant.  Our food will draw inspirations from New Orleans, Mediterranean cuisine and traditional Nicaraguan dishes to create a stellar menu.

See you soon!

Beach Resort Nicaragua: Surf Nicaragua, Relax and Have Fun!

The last week has been a big one for our Nicaragua beach resort.  We welcomed three more guests to surf the best beaches in San Juan del Sur, we completed construction on the pool-side suites and we are making incredible progress with the Marsella Beach Front Resort kitchen.


Beach Resort in Nicaragua: The BEST Value!

The time truly seems to fly here at the Marsella Beach Front Resort and Hotel.  Just a few weeks ago, our team faced a laundry list of tasks that seemed daunting to say the least.  But today, the progress we have made has instilled a new energy and freshness that will propel us to the finish line.

We're still scheduled for a full-scale opening in mid- to late-July, and with the hype surrounding htis new beach resort Nicaragua, there's going to be no shortage of tourists at the Marsella Beach Front Resort in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

Next week, we leave for Miami to finalize the purchases of our main attractions: kayaks, beach volleyball, SUPs, snorkeling equipment, foosball and more.  Combine that with the infinity-edge waterfall pool, exotic nature and an unmatched view, and there's no hotel that provides a better all-around experience for guests.  With rooms starting at $17 per night, the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel is sure to be a hit from the start.

Surf Hotel Nicaragua: The Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel

Nicaragua Surf Hotel: Playa Marsella Beach Front

The swell filled in and every beach is lighting up!  Even Marsella is seeing some overhead sets.  Most Central American spots on the Pacific Coast are too big to work, but Marsella is holding strong with some 6-8 foot faces.  With waves like this is our backyard and Playa Maderas less than one mile away, the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel is the best surf hotel Nicaragua.

Yesterday was a little rough with light offshore winds, but today, some beaches are seeing 12-foot sets and the offshore wind makes the waves manageable.  On days like this, Playa Maznanillo is the place to go, and because the beach is only accessible by boat, you and your friends will enjoy a crowd-free, barreling point-break.  At the Marsella Beach Front Hotel, we can have a boat chartered to access Manzanillo in no time.

The next two days should see solid surf for all of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.  Waves should stay over six foot until Sunday with a period of no less than 15 seconds at our surf hotel in Nicaragua.  Even when this swell is gone, Maderas holds incredible surf almost every day of the week with offshore winds 300 days of the year.

Hotel Near Playa Remanso: Playa Marsella Beach Front

Playa Remanso Hotel: Marsella Beach Front

We welcomed our second group of guests at the Marsella Beach Front Hotel last night.  The four travelers were greeted by incredible weather and a forecast of solid, overhead surf.  We were all excited to be in the perfect location for the upcoming swell, a hotel near Playa Remanso.

After a night of swimming in the infinity-edge pool and drinking Toñas, we woke up at first light and headed to Remanso.  The swell had not filled in, but there were still some clean, chest-high sets.  Remanso offers both rights and lefts and in bigger waves, there´s a point-break on both sides of the beach.

On the shore is one of San Juan del Sur´s best taco restaurants.  On top of authentic Nicaraguan food, the restaurant serves smoothies, beer and frozen drinks.

The surf forecast is getting better by the day, and for tomorrow, it reads 2.2-3.4 meter waves and a period of 20 seconds!  We´ll have some photos posted.

See you soon!

Attractions San Juan del Sur: We Got´Em All

The Best San Juan del Sur Attractions

Over the last few days, we´ve been meeting with the owners of the most popular tourist attractions in San Juan del Sur.  And as a result, the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel now offers zip-lining, repelling, horseback riding, offshore fishing, diving and spearfishing.  Combine that will all of our on-site attractions and you´ve got one incredible vacation spot.

Zip-lining will be provided by Da´ Flying Frog, which provides more than 2.5 km of lines through the canopies of southern Nicaragua.  Trip Advisor reviews promote zip-lining at Da´ Flying Frog as safe, exciting and a memorable experience. 

Diving and offshore fishing will be hosted by Neptune Watersports.  With several years of experience and local knowledge, they are the best at what they do.

Aracne Repelling will take our guests on a historic tour before they descend down 200-foot cliffs.  We are working to provide repelling on-site so guests can enjoy the incredible view of Playa Marsella from a unique perspective.

Nightlife San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur Nightlife

Saturday night was a blast for our guests at the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel.  We shuttled our visitors into town to experience the incredible nightlife in San Juan del Sur.  

The town that seems asleep on rainy weeknights came alive with crowds of people filling the streets.  Streetvendors offered delicious Nicaraguan cuisine at low prices and the bars were packed with locals and tourists.

The first stop was Iguana´s, a two-story pub that offers delicious food, cocktails and an upstairs dance club.  The place was an absolute party and featured an incredible view from the second-story balcony.

Next stop was the Black Whale.  Live music filled the air with the best rock songs of the past and present.  A talented band played everything from Johnny Cash to Neil Young.  We weren´t just greeted with a friendly hello, but a shot at the door.  With reasonably priced drinks and friendly locals, the Black Whale was one of the most enjoyable bars we visited.

The Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel has the whole package.  For families, we offer a range of events like horseback riding, kayaking, repelling, beach volleyball and surfing.  Our social area is relaxing, not rambunctious.  And for the younger crowd, Playa Maderas is less than one mile away, and the nightlife of San Juan del Sur is a quick, 10-minute shuttle from the hotel.  With a great combination of family-friendly activities and nightlife San Juan del Sur, the Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel is the best location for anyone who seeks a relaxing, adventurous vacation in Nicaragua.

Hotel Near Manzanillo: Marsella Beach Front

The best Playa Manzanillo Hotel

Today we took our new friends to Playa Manzanillo, one of the best point-breaks in Nicaragua.  The surf forecast wasn't fantastic--onshore winds and waves of approximately three feet, but sure enough, Manzanillo delivered.

The 30-minute boat ride showcased the natural beauty of the Central American coastline, which was peppered with jagged cliffs, caves and unique plantlife.  We didn't see much surf on the way to the break, so we were a little skeptical.  But when we reached our destination, we could tell why the place earned such a fantastic reputation.

The spot is a left-hand break with a takeoff zone next to some cliffs.  The reef is perfectly shaped to offer long, barreling lines.  Today, the barrels weren't pumping, although a few of us made it out of some pinched tubes.  But with the shape of the coast, this place is sure to offer some incredible rides in the right swell.

Manzanillo is officially added to the Marsella Beach Front surf tour, which already features Playa Maderas, Playa Yankee and Playa Remanso.  There's no other hotel near Manzanillo that offers such an incredible selection of activities and is located only 10 minutes from San Juan del Sur.

Backpack Playa Maderas: Incredible Surf, Great Food, Friendly People

Playa Maderas Backpack Destination: Incredible Surf, Great Food, Friendly People

Yesterday, we welcomed a group of travelers from Brazil hoping to score some great waves and relax at the Marsella Beach Front Hotel.  I was a little skeptical about the swell; after one week of solid surf, the forecast was only reading 2-3 feet.  Fortunately, Playa Maderas can take 2-3 foot surf and produce clean head-high sets.  With offshore winds and minimal crowd, we surfed for four hours until sunset.  The Marsella Beach Front Hotel is the perfect location if you want to backpack in Playa Maderas.

After a night of fun in San Juan del Sur, we took our guests on a morning surf at Playa Yankee.  Although the tide wasn't quite right, we scored some decent sets.  Afterwards, we ate a free breakfast by the pool and wend 4-wheeling.

The surf's looking solid for the rest of the week and we look forward to introducing our new friends to Playa Remanso, one of the best breaks in Nicaragua.  It's an incredibly easy wave to surf, and even when it's head-high beginners and longboarders have no trouble.

Construction continues on the restaurant and the pool-side suites.  This place is going to be an incredible place for backpackers in Playa Maderas.  Stay tuned for more updates!

Family Hotel Near Playa Maderas

Playa Maderas Hotel for Families: Safety and Fun Activities!

After months of work and planning, it's time to welcome our first reservation.  Starting tomorrow, we will be guiding our first group of vacationers on a surf tour to the best spots in San Juan del Sur.  The list includes Playa Maderas, Yankee, Remanso and more.  Combine that with all of the attractions we offer at the Marsella Beach Front and there's no better family hotel near Playa Maderas.

We also begin constructing our restaurant tomorrow.  It will seat 30-40 guests and include a two-story seating area that overlooks the bay.  Directed by graduates from the top culinary institutes in the United States, this restaurant will feature a unique variety of dishes that appeal to a wide audience.

Renovations are almost complete in our pool-side suites.  Only steps from the infinity-edge pool and social area, these suites will feature private bathrooms, flat-screen T.V.'s, DVD players, lockers, wifi, A/C, double beds and bunk beds.  These rooms are close enough to the beach to hear the waves as you fall asleep, but far enough from the dorm rooms to create a secluded atmosphere.

Great Family Vacation San Juan del Sur: Welcome to Villa Marsella

Best San Juan del Sur Family vacation: Welcome to Villa Marsella

After hours of researching the most popular resorts in Central America, there's no doubt that the Villa Marsella is by far the best value for a family vacation in San Juan del Sur.  Not only is it the best value, but no other private beach home allows access to so many on-site attractions, including beach volleyball, an infinity-edge pool, surfing, kayaking, snorkeling and of course, the private beach of Playa Marsella.

What is the Villa Marsella?  It's a spacious, artfully-decorated beach house smack in the middle of Playa Marsella.  With glass walls, there's no view like it.  It is located only about 30 feet from the breaking waves and at night, it sounds like the swell is breaking right outside your door, probably because, well, it is!

The first week that we open the Villa Marsella, we'll be taking reservations at the price of only $180 per night.  It sleeps a family of five comfortably.  But after that, when people find out that about this incredible beach house and its location, the price will inevitably go up.  So get on it when you can!  Message us on Facebook and you can make a reservation today and enjoy an incredible family vacation San Juan del Sur.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Playa-Marsella-Beach-Front-Hotel/300525113415728

We apologize for the delay with our website.  As we speak, the best web designers in Nicaragua are hard at work to develop a page that illustrates everything we have to offer.  Although no webpage can encompass the excitement of this San Juan del Sur family vacation, the website will showcase our activities, our rates and even 3-d layouts of the accommodations.

Cheap Hotel San Juan del Sur: Website On the Way!

Cheap San Juan del Sur Hotel: Website On the Way!

For those of you who have been following the progress, we're about to pass a major milestone by publishing the Playa Marsella Beach Front website.  We've got the best designers in the business working hard to create a webpage that showcases the natural beauty of the beach and surroundings at this affordable hotel in San Juan del Sur.

Today's mission--explore the surrounding caves and develop a photogenic tour for tourists.  We climbed up the south headland and through an unbeaten trail.  As we reached the top of the cliff, pounding waves were breaking on the rock reef below.  It would have been decent surf, except for the razor-sharp rocks that line the cliffside.

Down the steep, rock wall and a short walk along an eroded flatbed brought us to a massive opening in the cliff.  Approximately 30 feet (9.1 meters) deep, the cave is roomy enough to walk through comfortably at low tides.  At higher tides, and when the waves are big, a blowhole shoots water out the side of the cliff and produces a resounding "whoosh" that can be heard from the hotel.  It's truly a sight to see when you're riding the surf at the Marsella Beach Front.

And today, there's definitely some surf.  Consistent chest-to-head high beach-break is coming in at an A-frame.  The left point-break is also working today.  It's incredible to see these waves, untapped, in our back yard.  It's like the hotel has it's own wave pool.  It's playful surf that can produce makeable barrels.

Of course, Playa Maderas is just a short distance away (less than 1K).  Ask around and you'll hear the same--it's the best surf in San Juan del Sur.  With the natural beauty of the place, incredible hotel attractions, great surf and comfortable living spaces, there's no way you'll find a better, more affordable travel destination.

Cheap Hotel Near Playa Maderas: One INCREDIBLE Value

Cheap Hotel in Playa Maderas: One INCREDIBLE Value

How do you construct a hotel that satisfies every guest no matter who they are, what they like and what they expect?  Easy!  Give every guest...everything!  With a perfect location, a comfortable living space and all the attractions one would expect in Central America, no one would guess this is a cheap Playa Maderas hotel with rooms starting at $17!

Today's mission--explore the headland on the south side of Marsella.  With the help of a local guide, we were introduced to the natural beauty of the cliff-side that encompasses the Playa Marsella Beach Front, and it was an incredible experience!

Tropical plants provided shade as we walked through the paths that weaved up, down and around the mountainside.  On the other end of the headland is El Toro, an undeveloped bay with an incredible rockface pounded by Pacific Ocean surf.  In the distance, you could see treetops shaking as monkeys foraged for food.

As we walked down a path that was spotted with iguanas, cactus and other natural life, we approached a wall about 3 meters high and 15 meters long, peppered with holes in which thousands of crabs make their nests.

On the Marsella side of the cliff are two deep caves that can be explored at low tides.  This is the star attraction as breaking waves have made natural patterns, textures and colors in the walls of the cave.

And who said there was no surf in Marsella?  We paddled out today in solid chest-high waves coming in point-break style.  The beach-break was pumping lefts and rights.  No closeouts and a few barrels to be had.  Forget Maderas, this is our backyard wave pool.  

Between these natural wonders and the on-site attractions, including kayaking, snorkeling, beach volleyball, an infinity-edge pool and more, this is by far the most incredible cheap hotel near Playa Maderas.

Dorm Rooms Playa Maderas: The BEST Value

Playa Maderas Dorm Rooms: The BEST Value

The Playa Marsella Beach Front Hotel is by far the best value in San Juan del Sur, especially if you're looking for dorm rooms in Playa Maderas.  Starting at $17 per night, our dorm rooms sleep four comfortably.  All rooms have free wifi and are only about 30 feet from the breaking waves of Playa Marsella.

We want to make sure that all of our guests are comfortable.  That's why we're reserving two dorm rooms for females only.  Although they start at $17 per night like the other dorms, they are equipped with a private bathroom.

Of course, guests will have the option to upgrade to an air-conditioned, ocean-view room for only $25 per person ($15 for the third person).  These rooms include one double bed, a bunk bed and a private bathroom.  Even though we provide the safest dorm rooms near Playa Maderas, there's a locker in every room to protect your belongings.  Also included is a flat-screen T.V. and a DVD player.

Then, there's the pool-side rooms that are conveniently located near the restaurant.  These two rooms are available for $30 per person ($15 for the third person).  Like the ocean-view rooms, they include a private bathroom, one double bed, one bunk bed, a flat-screen T.V., a DVD player and a safe.

We're hard at work to meet our scheduled opening date of mid-July.  Stay tuned for more photos and updates!

Family Hotel San Juan del Sur

Family Hotel San Juan del Sur Provides Safety and Fun Activities

If you’ve visited San Juan del Sur or any other popular tourist destination in Nicaragua, you may have noticed a lot of overconsumption of alcohol, college kids on vacation and dodgy people looking to take advantage of tourists.  One thing that’s missing is a quality, family hotel in San Juan del Sur.  And that’s exactly what we’re trying to change at the Marsella Beach Front.

Safe Location

One of the first things that comes to mind when you look for a travel destination is location.  The destination should be far enough from bar traffic and urban crime to prevent any problems, but close enough so that you and your family can enjoy everything that Rivas has to offer.  The Marsella Beach Front resort is only a 15 minute drive from San Juan del Sur.  However, the seclusion of our private bay makes it safe for your family to enjoy their vacation.

Facilities

When we decided that catering to families is a top priority, we designed our facilities to complement this goal.  Our dorm rooms are perfect for kids and teenagers who want some time from the parents, and our pool-side ocean suites are great for couples looking for some time from the kids.  For those who want to enhance the bonding experience of this Central American getaway, we have a luxury beach house that can fit a family of five comfortably.  It includes a master bedroom with a queen-size bed and private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and personal beds for the kids.

Activities

Of course, no San Juan del Sur family hotel would be complete without activities for the whole family.  On our private beach, we offer kayaking, beach volleyball, snorkeling, a slackline, swimming and more.  We work closely with the best tour operators in Rivas to provide diving, horseback riding and volcano excursions.  See you soon!

Hostel Near Playa Maderas: The ULTIMATE Surf Destination

Hostel Near Playa Maderas: The ULTIMATE Surf Destination

Running a business ain't easy.  No matter what your industry, there's always someone willing to work hard to provide a better service or offer a lower price.  But at the Marsella Beach Front Hotel, everything is coming together.  Our team is driven, intelligent, experienced and we genuinely love what we do.  With our location, there's no doubt that we are offer the most complete, entertaining hostel Playa Maderas, and at $17 for a dorm room, it is the ULTIMATE surf desitination.

Today's task--develop a guided surf tour that introduces guests to the best waves in San Juan del Sur.  With a solid 4-7 foot swell (1.2-2.1 meters), today was the perfect day to visit the best point- and beach-breaks and create a surfing experience unlike any other.

Although our location makes us a prime travel destination, we are within a half hour's drive to some of the best breaks in Central America, including Playa Remanso and Playa Yankee (which were gnarly today).  And for those who want the full-on, off the beaten trail experience, we visited Playa el Coco and Ostional.  After careful research, talking with locals and catching some waves for ourselves, we know the best tides, wind, seasons and swell size to put together an exciting, memory-filled surf tour.

The idea of the week--our yoga classes will now take place on our floating platform.  Say what?  That's right; at sunset, we'll kayak out to our floating platform in our private bay and you can enjoy some relaxing, therapeutic yoga while standing on the waters of Playa Marsella.  Get the word out cause this is gonna be one awesome hostel!

Hotel Near Playa Maderas is Making Progress!

Hotel Near Playa Maderas is Making Progress!


We’re making more and more progress every day on our hotel near Playa Maderas.  We just finished the flagstone floor for the two-story restaurant, which will not only be open to hotel guests, but also to visitors from San Juan del Sur!

Yesterday, we finalized the orders for many of our attractions.  We will have four one-person kayaks, two tandem kayaks, a billiards table, foosball, beach volleyball and a slackline.  Surf lessons will be offered and we’re working to design guided surf tours as well.

We’ve been here for a week and still no rain—just perfect weather and offshore winds.  The nature is beautiful and includes exotic plants and wildlife, along with frequent sightings of the Nicaraguan national bird, the motmot.  The Marsella Beach Front Hotel will offer an aesthetic allure unlike any other hotel near Playa Maderas.

We’re still scheduled to open in mid-July, but with the progress being made, it wouldn’t be surprising if we open our doors sooner.  For some photos and more information, check us out on Facebook:

Tomorrow, we begin construction on our floating platform.  Our hope is that in the near future, we will design a floating bar stationed in the middle of the bay!  This travel destination will be truly unlike any other.

Hotel Surf Playa Maderas is Making FAST Progress!

Hotel Surf Playa Maderas is Making FAST Progress!

It's only been a few days and this place is becoming an incredible hotel near Playa Maderas surfing.  The location is incredible!  Situated in a private bay and less than 1 mile from Playa Maderas, the hotel offers a secluded paradise that is close enough to world-class surf and the attractions of San Juan del Sur.

We recently developed a Facebook and we're looking for some feedback.  It shows incredible photos of the hotel.  Check it out:

We also have a new Twitter page:

It's amazing to see the excitement on the faces of everyone working on this project.  Today, we will start building a floating platform that will sit in the middle of the bay.

If there's one quality that this hotel has over all others, it's safety.  Marsella Beach Front Hotel is the perfect place for families and couples who want to avoid the rowdy atmosphere of San Juan del Sur.  With plenty of attractions like kayaking, cave exploring, stand-up paddleboarding, a pool, billiards, foosball and beach volleyball, travelers of all ages, especially those on a surf vacation, will fall in love with Marsella Beach Front Hotel. 

Here's a photo of the surf spot less than one mile from the hotel:

We'll post some photos of the wooden platform later.  See you soon!
