Buena Vista Surf Club, Nicaragua
Buena Vista Surf Club (BVSC) is a tropical modern eco-lodge nestled in a hill overlooking Playa Maderas. Guests stay in free-standing tree houses with magnificent views of the lush jungle and Pacific ocean. BVSC was built by a Dutch couple, Marc and Marielle, who left Amsterdam behind for the sun and surf of Nicaragua.
The hotel is off the grid and rooms do not have electricity during the day and use solar powered energy at night. Rates include mouth-watering family style breakfasts and dinners. Those who do not surf can enjoy the swim-friendly beaches up from Maderas or spend time reading or doing yoga on the lodge's sprawling sundeck. The most memorable parts of my stay though were the amazing owners and guests I met at BVSC.

Best time to go? Other places near by you recommend?
Best time to go would be around October/November and April/May. This is around the ends of the dry season, but also not the peak so rates are usually a little cheaper and the area is a little less crowded. The green season (aka rainy season) from June - Spetember isn't a bad time to visit, but weather can be a little unpredictable. There's usually 1-2 hour heavy rains in the afternoon or evening, but also the occasional chance that it could storm all day.
You can do as a little or as much as you want. An easy thing to do is hiking along the beaches starting along Playa Maderas and find yourself a secluded spot. The town is about 20 minutes away and you can find restaurants, cafes and shops. There are also day trips you can make to Isla Ometepe. Here are some helpful links: http://www.sanjuandelsurguide.com/
