The Best Hotel in Central America! Unbelievable!
This hotel and island, was one of the best experiences I ever had in my travels. The island is unbelievable, it is un discovered, not developed, very peaceful, no cars, no bikes, etc. The service and management were top tier. Mr. Ricardo is the best! This place has a special place in my heart and I will for sure be back often! Thank you!

Sad state
Sadly the service and the pricing did not match the view or the location. I can imagine say 6 years ago it really was the place to escape too and relax, todag far from it. The idlsnd itself has been totally disregarded, poor maintence, garbage literally everywhere... no pride in nature , no conservation or maintenance. At the resort the finer attention to detail was lacking ... example forgetting to clean our room, constantly having to ask for water, milk, coffee, clean towels etc. Food poor quality for what wS being charged. Will not be returning nor will we be recommending to others.

A dream!
An amazing experience! If you’re looking for a nice relaxing vacation, this is the place to be! Excellent service and attention from the concierges and staff, and the food was incredible everyday! The rooms are very cute and clean, and so nice to be so close to the beach and wake up overlooking to ocean. Thank you so much for a great experience and hope to return soon!

The place is awesome.. The service is good... communication with management not so good... food prices too high...not enough food for ammount of money i paid... A lobster plate had only a mandarine slide size for $35.00 dollars... another thing is that I was not told about the $160 transportation fee up front... Also I waited for a taxi that did not show at the time that I was told by management. Breakfast is $15.00... And menu is in english only.. The place is good, confortable, clean... The staff was nice and well educated..

The property itself and the rooms are beautiful! The staff were also very attentive and our room was always very clean and well stocked. However, it is extremely expensive (food, drinks, transportation) compared to the rest of the island and Nicaragua in general. Further, the walk to get there and back to town on a long, muddy, unmaintained path through the jungle. The alternative to walking is a $10 per person water taxi that takes ~5 mins, which in my opinion was quite the rip off. Overall the place seems like more of an American tourist money grab than anything authentically Nicaraguan. There was also no wifi during our entire stay which was quite the inconvenience, but we were compensated for this after speaking to the manager about our concerns.
