A large group of my friends and I stayed here for my wedding week and it was perfect! Edwin the manager was amazing and helped us plan activities throughout the week. The staff was great and helpful as well. We arrived during Sunday Funday which was a great way to start off the week. Food and drinks were really good. Everyone has talked about coming back!
A mixed experience overall. The receptionist was lovely, but beyond that, the hotel felt significantly understaffed — and the other guests we saw seemed distinctly unhappy too. It didn't help that shouting broke out right outside our door at 2am and continued for a good hour, waking us up, with no staff around to manage it. On the plus side, a great surf session was organised for us, and someone was on hand to repair a broken suitcase, which was much appreciated. The breakfasts were also very good.
Quiet space with a lovely pool and delicious food. Staff were very friendly. The rooms could do with a bit of maintaining and upkeep , I stayed in the 8 bedroom and a friend stayed in a private room. Shuttle buses into town not many places to walk to from location. No yoga on site when I visited, maybe this only happens during low season? Would recommend the stay or stop by for a meal and swim.
The best thing about the place is the amazing, kind and caring staff. Adilson is a very caring and very customer oriented host and makes sure you feel comfortable and safe during your stay. Also, he provides you with all the necessary info to get around. Also the bar staff is very kind and make a great rum-ginger. The kitchen is great too, try the peanut butter oatmeal for breakfast. There is a lactose free milk available for your coffee.
The coworking space is amazing and comes with airco, and coffee making facilities. The outdoor gym and yoga is a nice idea and beautifully made by wood, but because it was hot and I’m not a big fan of the many insects I was afraid to use it. A yoga mat is provided on request.
The shuttel service is great and necessary because it’s a bumpy long ride to the San Juan center. A car or your own, scooter or taxi is recommended to travel elsewhere. Space is kind of in the middle of nowhere in a beautiful jungle like area.
On the downside, the mattresses (even in the superior suite) are pinning in your back and make a good night sleep difficult and extreme uncomfortable. Also, although there are strict rules for being quiet after ten, we were kept awake by loud and singing other guests because doors and walls are very thin. An investment in better beds and sound isolation would really improve the Space experience!
The Space is a very clean, nice hostel. Travelling alone I felt really lonely staying here so far away from town and there was never any other guests around.
The shuttle service is helpful but quite limited so you need a scooter to get around freely.
Yoga is basic but a nice touch that it’s complementary.
It’s not ideal that you can’t bring your own food in, because the food here is quite unhealthy.
It would be great if they made somewhere you can sit by the pool and relax
Since I had been in one place for a long time where, aside from the view, things weren’t really that great, I moved to SPACE and discovered that a view isn’t everything. The jungle surrounding SPACE is stunning, and the yoga platform truly enhances the experience. A gym built entirely of wood and the presence of two horses nearby create a powerful sense of calm and tranquility.
Beyond that, there’s the workspace and a small pool that lets you cool off after a day in the sun, at the beaches of Nicaragua, or after a nature hike. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. The restaurant area is thoughtfully arranged, offering quiet spaces and a comfortable corner for anyone who wants their own peaceful spot.
We had a great time staying at The Space Jungle Oasis! The service was incredible! The front desk was so helpful with arranging activities for us and providing us with information and any help we needed during our stay. There were so many fun opportunities that were included in our stay, including free yoga, movie nights, an outdoor gym, coworking space, and other events throughout our stay. There were shuttles available to go to town and a nearby beach for a small cost. The rooms were very nice, and the environment was very beautiful. We would work outside with a beautiful view and great WiFi. Everyone was very friendly and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in San Juan. The location was located a short shuttle (or taxi/ motorbike) away from Playa Maderas and a short shuttle away from town.
I'm going to leave a review here because I think it's a great hostel and they have gotten so much right, but with a couple of things that I personally don't like. But may be justifiable from a business point of view, but that's not where I'm seeing it from I can only describe my experience
So many great things about this place,
Communication 5*

Quality of food*
Shuttle service 5*
Games and gym 5*
The only thing I would rate down is the food cost & quantity, this I would give a 3*
The price is at the high end of San Juan going rate, which isn't the end of the world because the quality is great
But the portions are also small, this persuades you into 3 meals a day. If I pay top end for food I want to feel satiated. With outside food being banned eating can become relatively expensive. Then when you add the 15% tax +10% tip on the final bill it starts to fall from "high end range" prices and into the "greedy price range"
