It all depends on your budget every experience is different, you can rent your self one of those luxury homes on the hills and hired your self a private 5 star chef and sail on a catamaran to the prettiest privates beaches and have the experience of your life , or if you a back packer lots of cheap options , but you cannot try to have a luxury great experience on a backpacker budget, #sundayfunday the wildest party in Central American hands down , but again it depends on what you looking for.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Your totally right! Right now I’m making pretty decent money from my job, but not enough for a luxury trip everywhere I go 😅. Anyways thanks for the comment

I was just there in December I rented one of the biggest houses with everything just describe that, but I would have to agree with Aldo San Juan and the beach is not what I expected a bit. On the plus side the house I rented was walking distance to the Christ. But I definitely like Granada way better. Just my opinion

[@RudyC27]

I was just there in December and you’re 100% right San Juan was not what I expected not bad but just not what I expected. Granada was a lot more better. 🙌🏼

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Big fan of Granada as well 💯

[@rigogman]

ALWAYS KEEPING IT REAL! 💯

[@AldoPaganiJr]

You know I got too! 😅

[@rigogman]

Dope viewpoint 😮🤩

[@AldoPaganiJr]

One of the best views I've seen!

[@katiesutter7781]

Beautiful view !!

[@AldoPaganiJr]

View from the top is crazy 🔥

[@mauriciorodriguez9238]

Beautiful please, and great view ❤

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Amazing view 🤩

[@johnrodriguez9376]

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Hit the spot 🔥

I have been to Costa Rica and the beaches there although beautiful are so full of people that makes it almost impossible to enjoy. Nicaragua is more chill and you can also party like crazy if that is what you're looking for. The people is poor and not as environmentally conscience as Costa Rica but slowly and surely it will get there. I just hope that it gets there without all the tourists. Part of the charm of it, it's the is still unknown to many outsiders. But as we all know it is a double edged sword, just look what is happening in Mexico. American people is getting deported back to the USA, because gentrification is a bitch. Stay safe in your travels. Peace!

[@AldoPaganiJr]

You make great points! Still very much enjoying my time in Nicaragua. Thanks for the comment ❤️

[@marzoparvar9446]

Agreed that it is an overrated place. Nicaragua is still rural and I hope it remains this way. If you want something more modern I go next door, the capital of tourism Costa Rica.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Very True! and I'm going to have to steal that from you... "the capital of tourism Costa Rica" Too funny 🤣

[@glendamasis4525]

I hope my country stays more rural too. I love the fact that we have so many hidden gems. And the best thing, we have such richness in our culture. I just got back from Nicaragua and visited San Juan too and it wasn’t as bad as how this video describes it. A recommendation would be Little Corn Island, the sand is as white as can be and with gorgeous blue waters.

[@rigogman]

$8 total is nuts

[@AldoPaganiJr]

For 2 PEOPLE!! Crazy

[@LeoJaramaz]

Big time overrated! If you want a really nice beach on the Pacific in Nicaragua, go to Las Penitas/Poneloya next to Leon.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Thanks for the recommendation! Definitely checking that out next time 🙏🏼

[@RobertDAvanzo-rk3ew]

I have visited there and there are better places in Nicaragua than San Juan del Sur.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Agreed! I’ve been to Granada before and I love it. But if you have any other recommendations, please send them my way! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@RobertDAvanzo-rk3ew]

@@AldoPaganiJr Thank you. I loved Leon as well as taking the boat to Onetepe .

[@germanbarahona8830]

Totally overrated, I'm from spain and to save a few euros my plan was to first go to Nicaragua and then Costa Rica.... Totally regretted people is very poor and things are very messy. I almost die in their market haha !! On the positive side super cheap! Costa Rica on the other hand is totally focused on making your experience as a tourist remarkable! I just loved it! specially the city of tamarindo and Flamingo!!

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Completely agree! Especially on the Costa Rican part, I’m biased though seeing as I’m from there 😅

[@jhonray6164]

Una verdadera lástima que subvalores Nicaragua. Vete a Disney, no me explico porqué si no te gusta Nicaragua con qué finalidad fuiste, acaso te pagan para hacer propaganda negativa de ese país y su gente. Ve a Suiza y ya.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Es una lástima que uno no puede decir sus propios sentimientos sin alguien venir y abrir la jeta 🤣

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Tenga un buen día, mi señor! Y para que sepas a nosotros nos encanta Nica. Solo que no soy muy fanatico de San Juan Del Sur. ✌🏼

[@daniman2625]

Qué esperabas? él es de Costa Rica... no hay nadie de Nicaragua restándole valor a ningún lugar de Costa Rica, siempre los de Nicaragua expresan admiración por todo lo que Costa Rica tiene, en cambio los de Costa Rica siempre quieren restarle valor a los demás para ellos siempre ser los mejor valorados y los de mayor atención extranjera...

[@glendamasis4525]

Yo fui a Costa Rica cuando me llevo mi esposo y hasta el dijo no te traje al mejor lugar de playa de Costa Rica cuando vio mi cara. Todo país tiene algo bonito y algo feo.

[@ADoenitz]

I don't understand your comment about being overrated San Juan and you say you love it. The image that you are portrayimg about yourself is that you are confused and you are not objective.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Fair - I said playa San Juan Del sur is overrated. (The beach)! I like the overall area of San Juan Del sur. There are some beautiful beaches like maderas and great places to eat and visit! I just personally think San Juan Del sur beach itself is overrated. Anyways thanks for the comment

[@glendamasis4525]

I just went there to San Juan and my husband who grew up in Costa Rica was mad at me for going so fast to San Juan. I guess San Juan del Sur continues to be “overrated.”

[@ADoenitz]

@@glendamasis4525 jajajajajajajaja. I think that some people in CR are interested in portraying San Juan as overated as they don't want people to come to Nicaragua. That is so typical of jealous people who envy others success. I pitty this type of person.
