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.

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.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem with absolutely breathtaking views of Lake Apoyo, with a stunning volcano rising in the background that makes the scenery even more unforgettable. Waking up to that view alone is worth the stay. The hotel is intimate, with only five rooms, so it never feels crowded and offers a very peaceful, private atmosphere. The rooms are amazing—spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed—with beautifully crafted bathrooms that feel luxurious and serene. The pool area is spotless and offers incredible views of the lake and volcano, making it the perfect place to unwind. One of the highlights is the peaceful waterfall, which adds a calming atmosphere and makes it easy to relax and recharge. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable, and parking is easy and convenient. As for dining, the menu offers a decent variety of options. While dinner didn’t quite meet expectations, breakfast was absolutely amazing and definitely a highlight of the stay. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, relax, and fully take in nature’s beauty, this hotel is an exceptional choice.

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
