The most beautiful property you can find in Nicaragua. With 5 separate beaches and endless activities and 3 restaurants. This place spares no cost to ensure luxury delivered at all times. That being said, prepare your pocket book.

Our holidays in Rancho Santana was one of the best vacation we had.
That stuff was very pleased, friendly and welcome…
Rancho Santana gives you so much peaceful and beautiful beaches to enjoy your vacation..
We will definitely return back…
Thank you…😍
From the initial reception, all the great customer service at the restaurants, and bar, it was a great experience we will try to repeat soon with more family members.
The ranch is an amazing property. Our room was beautiful, and we enjoyed the guided birdwatching and monkey trips offered. It was expensive to get there from the airport and back.
So many options for fun things to do. The food at every single restaurant was superb. The people were really really awesome and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this resort to any adventurous person.
Quality everything here - and that’s not easy to find in Nicaragua! Our room was incredible, and the quality of detail in everything they do is impressive. We can’t wait to return!
We enjoyed the excellent customer service and attention to detail. The property was beautiful and the restaurants were great. My wife and I spent a few days celebrating our anniversary and had a wonderful time.

Great stay
Very nice stay. The room was great with an amazing beach view. Food and service we’re very good but prices are comparable to similar quality hotel in the US. So prepare to pay.

Very nice and attentive staff.
Rooms are clean and It’s quiet so you can get a good nights sleep.
The swimming pool is big but shallow (Id say around a meter deep).
We stayed one night but it was great! We are staying at a villa nearby and kid the daily resort fee to enjoy the nice amenities! Very nice. Would love to come back again
