La Zayapa Hotel

This hotel is across the street from the marina this is where you will meet snorkel and dive tours. It is close to all of the restaurants and shopping

Great location and breakfasts. It was very hard to regulate temperature in our shower and the soap dispensers continually dripped. But on the plus side the ac worked very well.

Lovely hotel This hotel is in a great location. The cab from the airport was $3. It is on the Malecon and is very walk friendly. The breakfast is outside in front of the hotel and is very quick to receive. If you are going on an early tour they will leave a small bag for you with a sandwich, apple, juice box and cookies. There is water in the lobby to refill your bottles and tea available in the evening. Ask about walking to Mann beach and there is a museum there as well. Plenty of sea lions all around.

I was concerned booking this with all the bad reviews I read below, but it turned out to be ok. Location is absolutely brilliant, right next to the pier where all the tours depart from. So after a sunny tiring day of snorkelling its only 100m back to the hotel. Only small issue is its right on the main street so can be a bit noisy and there are very bright street lights shining all night which their curtains let in. Its not too bad but if you've travelled far, sometimes you need darkness to sleep well. There was noone around the check me in and someone from the shop next door called a guy over. Pleasant enough check in, but not overly friendly. Was very happy my room was ready early and no extra charge to go in early. This was great. Rooms probably arent as nice as they appear in the management photos but they arent bad. Really spacious and the ocean view rooms really do have a nice view. Its great to arrive and open a window and sea/hear all the seals from your bed! Bathroom was ok, water took along time to heat but you have to remember you're on an island. Nice to see they had a wetsuit hanger in the shower. I had a package breakfast each day as I left early, it was nothing more than a sandwich and a box drink so I would've preferred there to be a cheaper room option without any breakfast included but they dont offer that. Probably a little overpriced for what you get, but it is a tourist island with tourist prices. A bit of work on their service and update a few things and they could be on a real winner.

This is a family-owned and run hotel that is next to their restaurant and tour business. We soon became family even though we did not speak each others' languages. It is next to the water and pier. We loved sitting out front and listening to the sea lions bark and watch the crabs scurrying about their business. The coveted blue-footed boobie visited each evening.

Just the right place. Very convenient.
