El Guayacán is one of the most beautiful places to stay in the land of lakes and volcanos. It’s clean, quiet, and beautiful view at La Laguna Apoyo. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Mario cooked a delicious breakfast. The parking is safe.

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.

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.

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.
