Hush Maderas

Hush Madera was a breathtaking hotel right off the Pacific Ocean that had the most amazing food, amenities, and views. The staff were so friendly. They made me feel comfortable my whole visit with my friends. The only drawback was no AC in the rooms. It was very hot when we were there.

Fantastic view and staff along with good ambiance, shame the room was below basic

The hotel has beautiful views, wonderful staff (Tom and Marvin), and great food. It would be nice if hot water was available for showering. All of the water was salty as well. They didn’t have any blowdryers. Understood it is a hostel but for the higher cost of a private room, they should carry a few cheap ones at the front desk to borrow for guests of private rooms in case they need. A nice hostel I stayed at in at Lake Atitlan did this. The rooms on the rooftop get noisy if it’s windy. Minimal updates to the outdated fixtures can go a long way.

Had a beautiful stay at Hush. The sunsets, people and beach were absolutely incredible.

Pros: This is one of the best places to stay near Playa Maderas. The sunset views from the main area are out of this world and worth the stay alone. Great cocktails and Happy Hour deals. Carol and Jason were awesome. Close to the beach. Juan Carlos at the Rebelde Surf School nearby is one of the best surf instructors in the area, he taught me a lot. Great place to party if that's the vacation you're looking for. Cons: very young and touristy environment. The food is good, it's just mostly burgers and pasta, which isn't really what I was looking for coming to Nicaragua. A lizard came out of my pillow case. Birds woke me up every day around 5am knocking on the glass windows, trying to get in. The ladies in the kitchen/bar area looked unhappy and seemed annoyed when we ordered breakfast - it was a little weird. One evening I asked the man who was working the reception night shift if he could make a quick call (my Spanish wasn't good enough to do so myself) to a place nearby to check on 2 friends to make sure they were ok and see if they needed a taxi back to Hush. He made it very clear it wasn't his problem and didn't care about the guests safety, which was a little disappointing.

Great property, food is really good, it’s a walk to the beach. I only wish there was fresh water to shower in. Other than that we stay there when ever we go to San Juan del Sur…best property on Maderas beach!
