It’s a very nice and welcoming place. The staff was great. The pool and grounds are well kept and they are right on the beach . I definitely recommend.
Hotel Tranquilo is a great hotel for people that want a quiet, safe, relaxing spot but be within walking distance of the other attractions, bars, and restaurants.
We stayed there for 5 nights. The food was good...staff excellent, friendly and helpful...The atmosphere is relaxed even with multiple rooms are full there is enough space either on the two story palapa or in the well maintained pool to just chill. The after hours drink policy is fair and pretty awesome. (I definitely used it). Would recommend a stay here for sure.
In a great stretch of tropical beach. Staff was very helpful.

Breakfast was good, although espresso machine wasn't working, there is no TV in the rooms, the curtains are almost see thru and the lights from out on the corridor come thru the rooms so it is not completely dark. Also, the pool was dirty, no one seemed to clean it in the 2 days I was there.
I was recommended to go to Las Penitas a small surfing village by the locals and it was amazing, I stayed at Hotel Tranquilo and it was all first class, the service, pool, food, music play list and drinks, if you are lucky you will meet the owners Jack and Carmen, they go above and beyond. I highly recommend it.
Clean beautiful room. Good option! Had WiFi and walks out to beach. I wish they had a tv in the room, I like to watch tv late at night but other than that it was a great hotel.
Any place on the beach is going to have a great feeling. The air, sound of the waves, and relaxing atmosphere are soothing. This place puts you there. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was good but not great. The room was comfortable, clean, quaint, and functional with the amenities you’d expect at a hotel.
I had rigorously traveled around Nicaragua for the week prior to my stay at Hotel Tranquilo. I craved some much needed recharge time, this place couldn’t have been more perfect! Food was great, rooms were nice, hot water, hosts were second to none. I was even lucky enough to meet and exchange war stories with the owners, great folks, proud owners that care about their property and guests. The beach was great, and clean. I will be back with kiddos next time!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was roomy and clean. Water heater didn't seem to be working or maybe they don't heat their water but we found it refreshing coming in from 90's temps. Food is available at the restaurant. Drinks and snacks easily available at any time. Grounds were clean and nice. Bring repellent, tons of mosquitoes. Location was walkable. Restaurants nearby. Beautiful beach with amazing sunsets.
During our stay at Hotel Tranquilo. We enjoyed some of the amenities the hotel had to offered. Let me start off with our room. Room was spotless. Bed was not as comfortable but we only used our bed to sleep, not a big deal. The only down side is that Hotel pretty much closes at 7pm on a friday night. After 7pm you pretty much you're on your own. Main gate is also closed at 7pm (which you have a key if you want to go out and explore). I found it some how difficult to operate the gate and we struggled to enter and exit the property. Overall, this hotel offered great service during operation hours and like i mentioned after 7pm you will be on your own.
