After an over night stay in Antigua we book a 22 hour journey starting with a shuttle from Antigua to Guatemala city and then a Tica bus which will take us via El Salvador and Honduras to Managua, Nicaragua and then transfer to another shuttle to our final destination being San Juan Del Sur. The Cost of all the transport was $390 u.s (split by three people) yet a majority of the cost was a private taxi from Managua to San Juan Del Sur, as we arrived at 2am with nowhere to stay. After a long commute we finally make it to the Naked Tiger Hostel in the early hours of 4am. As soon as we arrive at the Naked Tiger
Hostel, we grab a key and head straight to bed for a nights rest ($7p.n) so we
can start fresh tomorrow.
As we wake in the morning, I make my way outside to
the pool, which overlooks a stunning view of San Juan Del Sur. The Naked tiger Hostel is situated on a hilltop
approximately 5 km from the town square and has everything you need to get you
through your day, from a nice clean pool to reasonable food, Surfboard
rental, great staff and a free shuttle to and from town every hour. We stayed at the Naked tiger hostel for 3 nights and then moved onto another location in town for another 5 nights (just for a bit of space). Also while staying at the Naked Tiger make sure you see the hotel next door which is amazing, and has a small house monkey named Buzz jumping around, defiantly something to check out.
The Only problem with San Juan del Sur, is
that the town is not actually based on a surf beach, the surf is 10km either
way via bitumen and dirt road (Maderas or Hermosa), which isn’t something to die in the ditch about,
yet it just takes a lot longer to get ready and sometimes you miss the best
parts of the day waiting for a shuttle as taxis are quite expensive.
