This place is fantastic. Great friendly hosts, good food and a beautiful lagoon. Be sure to check out the Free diving school right down the road as well as the Water Slide Hotel. The family room was perfect for travelling with kids.

If you want to unwind & relax this is the place. Beautiful view depending on the room you choose. Bungalows are amazing, lush gardens, swimming in the lagoon was awesome. We had a nice time, will definitely come back with our kids.

The owners and staff, particularly Daniel the bartender, are very friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic. The place itself is beautiful and very well maintained. The whole place is a beautiful garden in what is already a naturally gorgeous area. Dogs are welcome and the owners have a lovely German Shepard pup. We spent our 25th anniversary here and couldn’t have hoped for a beautifully designed, quiet and comfortable spot.

What a gem on Laguna Apoyo! Daniel and his staff run an excellent beautiful paradise. The unique cabinas with super comfortable mattresses made our stay so relaxing. We ended up only being able to stay for two nights but wished it was for longer..All of our meals were delicious. The breakfast and fresh fruit were a great way to start the day. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the much needed rest.

Nearly perfect
I loved this place, and wish I had stayed 4 nights instead of 3. Daniel and his staff are great, and the hotel is at a very quiet location on the lake. If barking dogs or 4am roosters drive you crazy like they do me, you will be happy because i experienced none of that. Lots of hammocks and sling chairs available. The kayaks have seen better days but are ok. I loved the outdoor shower, the mattress was very comfortable, and the food is good. If you want a place close to town or other dining options, this is probably not your spot. I would absolutely return.

Daniel was an excellent host! We very much enjoyed our stay at this eco-lodge! Our favorite parts were showering in our outdoor shower, gazing at the stars at the beach, and taking out the tubes on the lake! There isn't too much around the area for activities, so if you're looking for a fairly relaxing few days, I'd recommend this place :)

Such a beautiful place, Daniel was a fantastic hotel manager and had all the information you could want about the area, going above and beyond any expectations. Fantastic, kayaking or floating in paradise you truely feel secluded and free at this magnificent place. I only booked for 2 nights but ended staying 4. I would definatly stay there again. Thanks.

Vale la pena -- EXCELENTE!!
Excelente. Aun con los problemas en el pais hay gente trabajando muy duro a recibir turistas y asegurar que su visita es una de primera calidad. El turismo ha bajado mucho y ellos les esperan con gusto. Ese lugar es una paraíso con maravillas de la naturaleza por todos lados. Super limpio, comida excelente, buen servicio.... Lo recomiendo sin reservaciones!!!!

Exquisite stay! You will not regret it!
You would think with all of the political unrest in the last year that it would be impossible to keep up with the same level of service. In fact you have probably already read about how many businesses have had to close. COME ANYWAY! Daniel does an amazing job of keeping things going at a top-notch level and the experience was incredible. Not one detail was overlooked. Food was excellent and Service was always friendly and helpful.Nicaragua needs your tourist dollars more than ever and you will have no regrets if you stay at this beautiful property!
