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.

From the property to the staff, everything far exceeded expectations. The house itself is so well maintained and beautiful, not to mention the iconic views. But what I loved most is your in a neighborhood so you really get to immerse yourself in the beautiful culture. Now into the AMAZING staff. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to every single person we came in contact with. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and frankly, like family. I will be referring everyone I know to stay here because you will NOT be disappointed
