You came to Popoyo for the surf and the pace. You still have work to ship. This is where those two things stop competing.
The ESC coworking space sits inside our digital nomad village in Tola, ten minutes from the beach breaks at Guasacate and Popoyo. It is built for people who need a real desk, real internet, and a room that stays cool while the day heats up. Not a café table you have to guard. A workspace.
The first question every remote worker asks about a place like this is whether they can trust the connection. In this part of Nicaragua, that question matters. Here is how we answer it.
Wired for video calls, uploads, and a full team's worth of tabs
Throughout, because focus and 33-degree heat do not mix
For full days at the keyboard, not folding chairs
That keeps you online the moment the grid flickers
For longer outages, so a power cut never becomes a lost afternoon
For calls, interviews, and focused sessions away from the main floor
Power and connectivity are the two things that break a remote workday in the tropics. We built redundancy into both, so you can promise a client a deadline and keep it.
A desk is the start. Your membership opens the rest of the village, so the workday has somewhere to go once you close the laptop.
| INCLUDED WITH EVERY MEMBERSHIP | |
|---|---|
| Access to all ESC amenities | Unlimited tea and house coffee |
| High-speed internet | Pool access |
| Backup battery power | On-site parking |
| Backup generator | ESC lunch specials |
| Weekly networking events | Member support services |
The pool is not a detail. A cold swim between meetings resets the day better than a fourth coffee. And the lunch specials mean you are not driving off-site and losing an hour to find food.
Access to the coworking space runs through the ESC Community Membership. You do not need to live on-site to use it. Pick the length that matches how you work.
| Membership | Price | Best for | Key benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | $10 | Single focused day or trial run | Everything in the included list above |
| Weekly | $40 | A full week of deep work | Safe boxes, discounted yoga, discounted surfboard rental, free shuttles to Magnific Rock and Guasacate |
| Monthly | $150 | Settling in and building routine | All weekly benefits, for a full month of access |
At $150 a month, a fully equipped, air-conditioned coworking space with backup power costs less than a few days of coworking in most Central American hubs. Compare that to a month of unreliable café wifi and you have your answer.

A quick note on pricing: rates can change, so confirm the current figure when you reserve.
Working remotely from a rented apartment gets quiet fast. The reason people keep coming back to this coworking space is not the furniture. It is who is sitting at the next desk.
Every week, members meet at networking events built for the people here: founders, freelancers, remote employees, and first-time nomads figuring it out. Conversations start over lunch and turn into collaborations, referrals, and the occasional surf session at dawn.
ESC is in Tola, in the Rivas department, on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast. The coworking center is part of our mountain-side base at La Jolla, surrounded by green hills and a short drive from the coast.
Weekly and monthly members ride the free ESC shuttle to Magnific Rock and the beaches at Guasacate and Popoyo, two of the most consistent surf spots on the Pacific. A morning session, a full workday with proper internet, a swim in the pool at sunset: that is a normal day here, and it is the reason people trade the café for a membership.
No. The Community Membership is made for people living in or visiting the Popoyo area who want the workspace and amenities without residing on-site. If you would rather have accommodation, meals, and coworking bundled together, look at our all-inclusive packages.
The space runs on high-speed internet backed by battery power and a generator. It is set up for video calls and heavy uploads, and the backups are there specifically so a grid outage does not interrupt your work.
Two layers of backup. Battery power keeps you online instantly when the grid drops, and the generator covers longer outages. You keep working through both.
Yes. The Daily membership is $10 and includes full access to the workspace, internet, backup power, pool, parking, and unlimited tea and house coffee. It is the easiest way to test the space before committing to a week or month.
Both are included with every membership. On-site parking is free, and the coworking area is air-conditioned throughout.
Yes. Private meeting rooms are available for calls, client meetings, and focused work away from the main coworking floor.
Bring your laptop, we handle the rest: the connection, the power, the coffee, and the people who make a workday feel less like working alone.
