Relaxing getaway

This place is just wondeful! We really liked the calm surrounding. The view is just spectacular. The room and the property were very clean. Just one thing I would have appreciated is more choices in vegan food.

The hotel has an amazing view on the Lagoon! A bit pricey but worth. Breakfast is decent. To go to the lagoon you can take a 50C taxi down.

Superbe vue et belle chambre. Très bruyant la nuit. Bruits dans la cuisine et les chambres sont directement à côté de la cuisine. Aboiements de chien et klaxons à partir de 4am. Bon Petit déjeuner. Il manque des ingrédients dans le repas décrits ( légumes et fruits). Le personnel est gentil, aidant et attentionné.

One of my favorite stays while I visited Nicaragua. It is not only because of the amazing views or the beautiful rooms, but the staff. They are warm and friendly, building connections and community. All staff members were great, but Keiling, Alejandro, and Omar went out of their way for me.

WE GOT ROBBED AT THIS PROPERTY BY THEIR STAFF. We had three rooms, the staff was helpful with unloading the bags and placing them in each of the room. Every room was missing money, credit cards and items. Love the location, the view and the property but I DO NOT recommend you stay there unless you’re attached to your belongings. Property loss power during our stay for about 3 hrs. they didn’t even have candles to provide temporary fix. The best thing about the property is the view. But , the experience was tainted with the missing cash and cards.

Muy bonito el lugar, se duerme tranquilo, el cuarto limpio, el aire funciona super bien, y una vista muy buena. Talvez le daria como punto de mejora mayor variedad de comida en el restaurante y acceso de snacks sin salir del lugar
