This review is for the bar,
We were drinking at the bar having cocktails and beers, all was good until the bar tender recommended a simple gin and tonic. When we went to pay the bill the gin and tonic (not on the menu) was 3 times more expensive than any cocktail on the menu. We paid, we tipped and we left without issue but I just wanted to let other travelers know that the place is a little scammy towards tourists, if they can take advantage they definitely will so just be careful and double check the price of anything recommended to you.

Will take advantage of tourists

We came to the beach as an afternoon trip from Leon and stumbled upon this restaurant in the foreshore. The restaurant has great views into the beach and is nicely appointed. We chose the fish cerviche and mango and chicken salad. The Cerviche was the best we have had since Mexico and the mango salad was also delicious and a generous serving. Prices were reasonable and a little cheaper than the bar next door. We only had around 40min before our bus left and were grateful that the meals came out promptly within around 10min. We highly recommend having a bite to eat here when in Las Peñitas.

Simply Fantastic

This was our second time at this hotel. The location is perfect, the rooms are simple and clean and the staff are great. 
The food at the hotel restaurant is yummy and well priced compared to other places around. Great value for the experience!
We visit Nicaragua every year, and we will surely be back again at Simple Beach Lodge.

Amazing stay

I had a reservation in miramar and i had to cancel then rebook with matt.however because i had canceled because of the rebook was given a room in the hostel section of the hotel which was all that w a s available for friday.it was interesting nice clean private room with a fine planned bathroom with outside shower.very refreshing.my only issue was change this policy to anybreakfsst since all 4 breakfasts are the same price on the menu.this is an easy fix i believe and necessary.
The matt was very helpful to me since i was researching a beach home rental he answered all my questions rapidly and his english is excellent.the staff were very attentive and sweet.i was pleasantly surprised by the room and stayed there 2 nites.i will recommed the hotel when i have visitors from managua and the states

La Penitas is a great beach with enough places to eat, do yoga, have a beer and meet new friends without having to cope with loud parties all night, every night. 

Ada and the crew at Simple Beach Lodge makes you feel at home from the moment you step in! Good food and drinks and the breakfast included is the traditional Nicaraguan breakfast but at its best! 

We stayed in the ”Casita” room with the bedroom one floor up. We love the set up with the view over the beach and waking up with the sunlight in the morning. 

If you surf this is the place too! You can literally chuck your board into the water from the accomodation! And better yet you have the surfbreak right infront of the hotel! 

In short: We would recommend this place to everyone and anyone who is looking for a place with a nice vibe, great location and genuine feel.

Just great!

The rooms are clean, spacious, the location is perfect and the view can be great. No complaints about that. 
I also value a friendly and helpful atmosphere though, and that I couldn't find. It's all about business: not the smiles and opennness I can often see and appreciate so much in Nicaragua, but a cool and indifferent treatment towards 'the costumer'. If they continue like this, they will loose costumers. 
To have to pay for a coffee while skipping the included breakfast, is a good example of that. Just for the gesture would have been nice of them to give it for free. 
Don't expect any recomendations, tips or 'need anyting else?' either from the staff. On top of that, their English is poor and their Spanish (it is run by Argentinian entrepeneurs) is sometimes hard to understand when you are used to the Nicaraguan or even Central American accents, like I am. 

So if your are looking for an admirable wooden-furnitured room, you can visit. If you are looking for, and want to support a place with  'corazon' and (family-like) hospitality, look elsewhere.

Rooms are good but don't expect hospitality

I'd researched the accommodations in Las Peñitas and decided to go with Simple Beach lodge. Didn't make reservations ahead of time because it was the low season and expected to have vacancies when we arrived. Due to scheduling and a very long trip coming from Corn Island, after the bus left Bluefields at 4:00 pm, we called the hotel to inquire about assistance with a taxi or driver to collect us at the bus terminal in Managua. After agreeing on a reasonable price we agreed, and on arrival in Managua we were met by the private driver met us at 10:30 pm and off we went to Leon and Las Peñitas. That was going beyond anything that could be expected. On arrival at the hotel, we were given the oceanfront room. The next morning we needed to change rooms as the oceanfront room had been reserved. We chose the Maderas room, the third room from the ocean. The largest, it was perfect. We paid for another 7 nights and were quite happy with the room.
Breakfast was delicious, the service was prompt and courteous. The room was impeccably cleaned when we asked for it, and we were left alone when we slept in. We needed assistance with arranging transportation for a day trip and a taxi on the morning we left. The staff went above and beyond to help make the visit to Las Peñitas perfect. Their location in front of the beach and the large rock outcropping is the best in the beach, with a calm location to swim or surf. When we return, we'll definitely return to Simple Beach Lodge. Thanks for everything!

An excellent choice

Stayed here for 4 nights. Great spot on the beach the staff are great friendly and very helpful, food is good too!!  Room was very clean. It is a nice spot for down time.  Las Peñitas is a very nice small quiet town and I feel very safe here. It is very easy to catch the bus in Leon from here. I would definitely stay here again.  If staying here be prepared that everything closes early.

Great beach

We spent the whole day here chilling out, eating, drinking and swimming. Rally chilled vibe with decent wifi. They also have good facilities like bathrooms and showers that you can use. Also the prices are decent 

Great spot to relax 

I went to this place every single day.  Perfect spot for breakfast in the morning as is sits right on the beach and serves one of the better tasting coffees in Las Penitas.  The owners Matt and Ceecee could not be any cooler!  As a bonus, their adorable son Kai blesses the guests with smiles, fist bumps, and high fives during the day.  Love this spot!  Comfortable rooms, eco friendly, and super clean.  Loved it!
