If you re looking for gentle waves (in January after it gets bigger), quiet time, low key, bird watching, then it is the place to be.
Stingrays jumping out of the water & pelicans flying really low : amazing !!
El Cuco city center is more vibrant on week ends. Good taqueria and pupuseria for food. Amazing sunrise/ sunset.
Also we did 1 day trip to La Union to go up to El Espiritu de pa Montaña: spectacular view! Absolutely worth it (need a 4x4 / guided tour will help you get there for 15$)
Highly recommend to stay at Hotel Miraflores as it is next to El Cuco beach, on Las Flores beach: wayyyy less people, the hotel is on a cliff so you ll have the best views with a breeze. It is still walking distance from the city centre to get whatever you need.
The hotel has a swimming pool & outdoor showers, great soots to hang out in the garden with shades.
It has a great menu. We also ate at la
Taqueria Nuevo Sason y Comedor : best tacos & burritos !! We had drinks at El Bule Dolphin: great cocktails & perfect for sunset as well as La Punta Mango beach & hotel (25 min drive - end of road is unpaved but it totally worth it) barman there won a national competition and does the best margaritas & piña coladas ever!
Ozmen from Miraflores helped us a lot by asking around to plan some cool day trips!

The beach itself is ok, however this beach town is pretty rural and not much to do. The beach could use a clean up and some maintenance, the hotel we stayed at , Sambo Mambo, didn’t even offer beach towels. There are no lounge chairs and beach showers have a foul smell. There very few restaurant options and Samba Mamba on site restaurant was awful. If you dont eat before 7, you wont get a decent meal. This place is ok if you plan to visit during the day and bring everything you need. Please dont stay at Sambo Mambo- this place is infested with roaches, found rat droppings, bed bugs and mold.
This hotel was in the perfect location right on the beach and in a quiet private area. The restaurant and bar were right on the beach, the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. The breakfast was excellent , generous and varied . The staff were very helpful and friendly and the whole property was well maintained, clean with a lovely pool area. We have already recommended this hotel to others and would definitely stay here again.
The section of the Playa Flores where the hotel is situated just outside of El Cuco village is amazing! The place is a real gem in the quite untouristic country. Just because of my nearby cooperation at a university in San Miguel I have got to this area for a short 2-night stay at the beach. Everything was exceptional, especially the views and the quality of the restaurant! The food and drinks offered were incredible!
The location was perfect, having 'private' beach access and views onto the ocean was perfect. We also like how small the property was, and the other rooms were other wedding guests, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The infinity pool was gorgeous and the staff was very helpful. The restaurant was also delicious and convenient.
Couldn’t make it due to a rain storm and power outage the hotel kept making charges on my credit card they charged 3 night’s total when we only booked one night got in touch with manager and she said just sorry she didn’t know what happened never got refunded had to lock my credit card to stop charges
The staff are absolutely superb nothing is too much and they are really pleasant. My son lost his ball over the wall and down into the wasteland below the hotel. One of the staff climbed down and recovered the ball for us. The pool is great. The views are great and the meals exceptional.
The beach is wonderful, you have to go down a few steps to get there, but it's worth it. When the tide goes out, the rock formations are revealed and there are small pools of water that my son loved. The tide is gentle near the shore, but it also has waves to surf.
The beach was nice and empty, the neighborhood was calm. There was parking for our car. There was an accident blocking the road and we were stuck in traffic for six hours, so the hotel let us switch our reservation to the next day.
Lovely location by the beach and very nice staff. The hotel is very attractively built, with a pool and bar/restaurant on site. A nice breakfast is included in the price.
beautiful little suite hotel on a private beach. Lovely rooms overlooking the pool/beach with one of the biggest beds ive ever had the pleasure to sleep in. fab place.
