The Popoyo Surf Lodge in Las Salinas is run by an expatriate Floridian surfer and his staff, including experienced area natives. Guests are met at the international airport in Managua and transferred directly to Popoyo Surf Resort. Packages include six nights accommodation, with three meals daily, all nonalcoholic beverages and daily surf tours. The lodge owns two boats that are fully outfitted for surfing and near-shore fishing. The lodge hosts only a few guests at a time and does not promote a party atmosphere--in fact, the nearest town with nightlife is an hour-and-a-half away in San Juan del Sur. Guests are encouraged to spend quiet evenings, retire soon after dinner and wake up early, ready to charge the surf.

Los Cardones Surf Lodge offers guests private terraces with lounge chairs and hammocks under a thatched palm roof and private bathrooms. Despite the luxuries of its six oceanfront bungalows, the lodge also offers a primitive, rural experience: Bungalows do not have electricity and compost toilets are a short walk away. Yoga and surf retreats are available. The lodge's restaurant, with its spacious open-air ranchos, is an ideal place to relax between surf sessions; guests can enjoy a cold drink and watch the surf from their hammocks. The restaurant serves gourmet cuisine made from fresh local products; the house specialty is a fillet of snapper, battered in a Mediterranean sauce and grilled over wood fire. The lodge strives to maintain a low environmental impact by promoting conservation and sustainable tourism.
