I found out that I have the record for longest stay at the El Jardin! I was there for six wonderful weeks. But you are not reading this to find out about me, so lets get to it: The Good: 1. The Owner/Operators are some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Each day was started with... More

Loved El Jardin! The owners were out of town during our stay but the lovely Frenchman who tended to the place while they were gone was Im sure equally as wonderful. Home cooked meals on the patio right outside your room with a fantastic view of the bay right below. The room was clean and the A/C oh so needed!... More

We just returned from Nicaragua and had an amazing trip! We started at El Jardin (pronounced El Hardeen). The owners at this property were wonderful and accommodating, The food was excellent! The view is stunning and the rooms comfortable. We loved coming back and having a swim in the cool pool each day. The shade of the roofed deck with... More

It is quite a drive to get to though. $30 taxi from the Costa Rica border. And $6-$12 (day or night) taxi to downtown. Despite the... More

Not this visit Quelle surprise that El Jardin, that I feared would be sterile, was instead an encounter with an loving extended family. And , as compensation, the cuisine was varied and outstanding. I will... More

We stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful hotel. After booking online we had made a mistake and not booked enough rooms, the owners were super accommodating and helped us out to make sure we all got rooms. Tim and Delphine are fabulous hosts and the food out of this world! Yes the location is a little remote but it's... More
