I never been there, but this is a message to the Alcalde of San Juan del Sur, need to work more on keeping the city clean, everywhere, and the sea as well....!! Some areas are nicer, but some others look ugly, to be honest!! But overall, I like it!!
I live 5 miles north of town ,playa Marsella, I came down in 2010, ya got to live somewhere. San Juan is better than most. I’m here about 6 months a year. Nov. to April . I bought into. Killer development. Bosques Del Mar. Close to the beach in a canopy of huge trees. Dirt cheap. Water and power a lot . Gonna build a little brick house. Super low density, so would like some neighbors. You’ll be glad you did. It’s a tropical wonderland. You can visit online, bosques Del Mar
I came in 2010, after I retired. I am now building a little house at bosques Del Mar,, playa Marsella. 6km north of town My home is in super low density population walk to the beach in 5 min and drive to town in 10 , once the new paved road is ready. That’s gonna be nice
When you ask for directions you might want to be a little more modest. Like say excuse me/compermiso, do you know where this street might be. That way locals will be more kind to help. Not, lady where is this street at!!! 🫤
I asked the girls first but it wasn't really clear if they even acknowledged me... so I turned to the lady. We were looking for a grocery store everywhere but couldn't find it, kept being sent back and forth and my Spanish is still not at the level where I can understand the locals 100%. Nobody spoke even a single word of English... that was extremely disappointing in a tourist and expat mecca like San Juan and especially from young people, wouldn't you agree? So what you're unfortunately seeing at the end is a culmination of a series of disappointments about basic stuff.
