Lost a diamond ring set. - perdí un par d Anillos
I lost a diamond ring set. I was going to proposed to my girlfriend and when I look for the rings they’re were missing. I called management to file a complaint and they told the housekeeper that cleaned the room has gone to vacation. They said they were going to ask her whenever she gets back. No bueno.

Great property, beautiful room and view, excellent staff and breakfast. We were nervous about noise levels as it is across bars and a hostel is right behind, but had no issues at all. Just make sure the balcony doors are closed and AC is on :)

Liked: Staff & service
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The noise from Club Arribas between 11 PM and 3 AM was brutal; the earplugs provided at check-in hinted at the issue. Additionally, I noticed some stained linen sheets and curtains, but despite these drawbacks, Room 7 was a beautiful choice, especially with its spacious terrace.

Great location. Attentive staff. Amazing breakfast! However, reading the reviews prior regard noise was definitely helpful. It’s noisy! Earplugs are a must. But the location was very central so perfect for walking/adventuring around town.

Nice hotel on loud street
The hotel is clean and comfortable, with a view of the beach. While the hotel itself is fine, there's a bar across the street that plays very loud music til 3am. You won't be able to get any sleep.

Although we had a beautiful rooftop suite, to access it you have to walk up several flight of steps. It was extremely loud and the metal rafts on the roof kept me up all night as the wind blew. I’ve stayed here several times and never had issues but this time I found stains on the bedsheets and our shower toiletries were never stocked. I assume the location makes it difficult for housekeeping to reach. In short avoid the rooftop terrace room.

Best customer service in town with a beach view!!!
Clean hotel with a great view of the beach and great customer service. The hotel was very nice, but the selling point is their professional, accommodating staff. One staff member in particular, Alfredo, treated us like family. He assisted in finding transportation to local beaches, surf lessons, places to eat and visit. He was quick to help us with any questions and share the history of Nicaragua. After being stung by a stingray, Alfredo provided assistance with remedies to treat the pain and cut. Because of him, we will return!! Gracias amigo (ALFREDO) and thank you Hotel Alcazar

Great balcony view, attentive service
The best thing about this hotel was our spacious, well furnished balcony overlooking the beach which is right across the street. The constant sound of the surf enhanced our relaxation. Breakfast wasn't included in our reservation, but the staff served us a generous continental breakfast each morning. For other meals, we enjoyed super fresh fish and lobster at nearby beachfront restaurants. The nearby disco was loud late at night, as noted in other comments. We were able to sleep by closing the balcony doors and running the aircon until the disco closed. We definitely will return despite that flaw.

Right across from the Beach!
The hotel was easy to find and parking in front was free and a breeze. Most people we found touring Nicaragua hadn't rented cars. The staff was attentive and very helpful. The room was very nice and we upgraded to ocean front on the third floor for a couple of nights. The only drawback is the noise at night so we used the proffered ear plugs each night and slept well. We were able to get our coffee and breakfast sent to our room each morning or if you prefer you can eat in the lobby/bar area. This hotel is right in the middle of the entire tourist section so there's a lot of street and pedestrian traffic. Good restaurants nearby as well as many bars.

Great ocean views, great location, noisy at night
The rooms are quite simple; but, very spacious and clean. The ocean view from the room was a bonus; but, a bunch of telephone wires were right in prime view. Maybe the top floors have a less obstructive view. It was nice to sit on the balcony for some fresh air reading. The staff were very friendly and attentive. This hotel is right in the middle of the action, so it does get loud at night. Once the parties died down- I slept peacefully to the waves. Our room is facing the street so maybe the inner rooms are less noisy. Overall great hotel. I probably wouldn’t recommend to a friend unless they are night owls or the party type.

Very nice staff
Even though San Juan del sur is not that nice of a town, it was very nice to stay at hotel alcazar. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were the only reason that we enjoyed our stay in San Juan. It was clean which is very important.
