I use TripAdvisor all the time, in fact that's how I found Empalme a Las Playas in the first place, but I've never felt compelled to write a review until now. Due to last minute planning and a limited time in San Juan del Sur, my boyfriend, his mother and I only spent one night here but we will certainly... more

My friend & I stayed her for only 2 nights, but we had such an excellent experience, that I wanted to add a review for them. Ron & Karen were such a pleasure to stay with--they really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Their hospitality was top-notch and I would highly recommend anyone staying here.

Stayed here with my boyfriend and two friends. What a great place to stay, it's close to 2 beaches Playa Maderas for excellent surfing and a swimming beach. It was like a home away from home. The cabins were really comfortable and clean with great places to chill out and relax. Food was the best we had on our trip.... more

It was quiet and peaceful, we had the beach to ourselves and spent our evenings with our lovely hosts, Roy and Karen, who did... more

This place was absolute great for us! After a very turbulent first half year we were longing for a place to relax en enjoy. Roy and Karen are a great couple! They are friendly, they have humour and they know the art of “serving” the guests. Great food and always a different breakfast. Good company too and always ready for... more

Wonderful location!........Close to nature - The forest, birds, butterflies, spiders!! Less than 10min walk to beautiful, virtually deserted beach (Playa Marsella).

Wonderful food.....Enjoy a superb breakfast ,and dinner with... more
