What do people like (and dislike) about San Juan del Sur?

"You meet great people and some rude people. After time you will know who to shop with and where to eat. San Juan del Sur gets breezes most of the time. You can have a taxi at your call and a trusted driver to take you home if you drink to much. Don't talk about the government and all will be well," said a member in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

"Expats and digital nomads living in San Juan del Sur, often like the laid-back atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and warm weather that the town offers. They appreciate the low cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The friendly and welcoming local community is another aspect that expats and digital nomads enjoy, as it makes it easy to integrate and make new friends. The town also offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as surfing, hiking, and yoga, which are popular among expats and digital nomads. The vibrant nightlife and numerous bars and restaurants provide plenty of entertainment options, and the town's growing expat community offers a sense of familiarity and support. However, there are also some aspects of living in San Juan del Sur that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The limited infrastructure and unreliable internet can be frustrating for those who rely on a stable connection for work. Additionally, the town's growing popularity has led to an increase in tourism, which can make it feel crowded and less authentic at times. Another downside is the lack of high-quality healthcare facilities in the town, which may require expats and digital nomads to travel to larger cities for medical treatment. Finally, the language barrier can be challenging for those who do not speak Spanish, as English is not widely spoken among the local population," remarked another expat who made the move to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
