Older property but clean and unique. Staff was excellent. Food was good. The beach was dirty but still a nice getaway for a 1/4 of the price of a all inclusive

We got married on the peaceful quiet beautiful beach here. It was in October and there was one other family staying at the property so it was like we’d rented out the whole place. It is very basic and not easy to get to, but once you arrive, they’ve got a nice pool and restaurant to enjoy yourself and your family.

We stayed for 5 nights at Nandel Beach Resort and it was a truly marvelous experience in a little spot of paradise that we would highly recommend! The staff was really kind and competent and always there if we had an issue of any kind! Special mention to Alexander at the restaurant that offered us a wonderful service during our stay!

10/10

This resort is an absolute hidden gem! My husband wanted an authentic cultural experience, and I wanted to lay in a lounge chair by the beach/pool. My kids are teens, and wanted lots of activities. Nandel checked all the boxes for us. The staff felt like friends by the time we left. Our kids even insisted on taking pictures with them to remember them by. The facilities were clean and well maintained. It is a windy area, but when it's 90 degrees every day, that feels really good. The area specializes in kite surfing, but there are many other beautiful beaches within short distance as well. The food was a mix of local and international cuisine, and the breakfasts were our favorite! I am a runner, and went running on roads around/adjacent to the property, and never felt unsafe. I can't recommend this place enough for someone that wants an authentic Central American experience.

We really liked our night at the hotel. We were staying during rain season and the roof of our room started to leak. I contacted the front desk via WhatsApp and they immediately moved us to another room with no issue. It is worth the price, and it was really clean. The restaurant was really good, much more than what we were expecting. Local traditional food, not extraordinary but very tasty and pleasant. It was perfect for a short stay!

We enjoyed a night here before shifting to Dreams Las Mareyas, the site of the wedding event we attended. We hoped to have a nice comfortable night for significantly less cost and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was neat and clean, the bed was comfortable with decent pillows and the air condition blew nice and cold. Dinner at the restaurant was good. I had an excellent steak. Beach was quiet and pleasant. We also enjoyed seeing the wild cows that roamed on the premises.

Food was incredible! Amazing! So delicious and fresh!! Staff was beyond incredible with great service. Only downfall was we didn’t have hot water — they tried to fix it, we thought it was working but when we took a shower it was cold. We were only there for 2 nights and didn’t realize the fix they did still didn’t work until almost bedtime the night before we left, no big deal. We would totally go back!!
