Stay on the trail, it's really there.

Probably the best spot in Playa Gigante, a rustic area that dies at night except on weekends. No stores really, bring booze with you.

room was clean and OK, all else in decline

Have stayed here many times without incident. Always gave 5 star rating previously. Unfortunately the recent problems in Nicaragua have affected this hotel negatively. We were the only clients during our 2 night stay. Pool was not clean, rather milky white water too questionable to enter after we saw it in light of day. Room OK no complaints. Dinner food horrible, almost not edible. Everything is microwaved. Office admin. was cook in the kitchen. Fed my hamburger to the dog. We prepaid for "cook to order breakfasts" and were notified upon arrival that we would not be receiving them (4). NOT GOOD, as almost all restaurants in the area have closed leaving almost nowhere to eat out, and we were really depending on those breakfasts to start the day. Made us go hungry. Breakfast included was primary reason we booked there, thus our strong disappointment. No one was there to check us out @ 7:30 am, we were asked to wait there until 9am for the person to arrive for this purpose. We declined and left as was ridiculous request. Place is running on empty. So unfortunate as was one of our go to places for our monthly trips to Nicaragua.

Awesome visit to Playa Gigant!

Machele's Place is an absolute oasis. The rooms are clean and modern with super cold A/C, the pool is clean and cool, and the food is fantastic. But the best part is the service. Every single person we came in contact with (especially the bar/restaurant staff) was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. In fact, when we mentioned to the manager that we were looking for a place to get good lobster, she picked up her phone, called a neighbor, and had two lobsters delivered to us for the kitchen to custom-cook! Definitely a place we will return to!

Nice hotel with Nicaraguan charm

Everything was great except the pool was green and unusable while we were there. Kind of a bummer since my wife has a fear of sharks in ocean water, and I specifically booked there so she would have a way to cool off and relax.

Great hotel, even greater staff

The hotel facilities are nice, I stayed at a Standard Room with a queen bed, AC, cable TV and bathroom. Everything was super clean, and the hotel staff was simply AMAZING. The hotel has a bar and a nice kitchen. We tried the nachos con carne, the hamburguer, the chicken pesto and several Cuba Libres, everything was perfect. The only con is that Playa Gigante is far away from Managua, almost a 3-hour trip, for some people it may not be worth driving that much, but be sure that when you get there, you will have a blast.
