XTS Rating: 9- San Juan del Sur is a backpacker’s nirvana. The beach town has great waves, a thriving nightlife scene and it's not too touristy... ye.t (This is changing rapidly though since the region has recently been discovered by foreign hotel chains). Furthermore, San Juan del Sur is very cheap. You can party like a Sandinista without raging a war on your wallet.
The only complaint about San Juan del Sur is that the beach isn’t glittering white with transparent water. But, you can find a secluded paradise traveling a few kilometers outside the township.
