What's nearby

  • If your looking for something to do to cool off in Nicaragua's heat, head to Laguna de Apoyo just outside Managua. Resorts line the rim of this volcanic Crater Lake and you can sit by the lakeside enjoying piña colodas. Swimming here is great though there's not much in the way of beaches. Spend the day or stay over night and be prepared to chill.

Very beautiful property, great view of the lake . Great service , restaurant on site . Property and room look beautiful, but not very cozy . No hammocks , no pool lounge chairs , also territory is very small . All you have is a small garden with the lake view . No feeling of privacy. I would recommend to visit the property for a dinner and cocktails with a great view , but wouldn’t stay there again .

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.
