    You probably need a 4x4 to access the property, but that is a good thing to have anyway to explore the region. Breakfast was tasty but we were not given any choices or information of what we are going to have, which would be nice to express preferences or dietary restrictions. Besides breakfast, it works more like an Airbnb (fine, just be aware of it). Some things need upkeep (the wooden slats in the rooms and the pool loungers for example). The place recently changed ownership, so I hope they keep it up and improve it!

    Hands down one of the nicest places we stayed in 4 months traveling in Central America. The main house is in a gorgeous setting with views in all directions, of greenery, the volcano and the lake beyond. The room is big and comfortable and naturally well ventilated. One of very few places which actually had enough storage space! I loved the outdoor shower. The common areas are fantastic, and would have plenty of space to cook and eat for a big group. The pool is wonderful and the hammocks and multiple terraces are perfect for lounging day and night.

    Hidden gem for Deep relaxation and tranquility and at the same time for fantastic Day Tours to Volcanoes Masaya, Mombacho, Granada, Isletas - reason why we booked another two nites. Relaxed on the terrace + poolside with incredible views, had this amazing breakfast prepared and served by Henry and enjoyed every detail of the stylish house . Could not have been better!😍

    We had a power cut for a couple of hours, which meant we didn’t have water either. Not a big deal, just a little inconvenient as we were getting ready to leave.

    The property is located in a great spot for views of the Mombacho, the sunset and Granada and lake Nicaragua in the distance. It’s very well kept and comfortable. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast served right on time, and it was very good. It was a really nice experience, thank you!

    Due to its pretty remote location, it would be good if the property could offer drinks and lunch - even a stocked but chargeable fridge for drinks would be helpful, as Granada is still a 20 minute taxi ride away. We had quite a few power cuts during our stay, though again the staff were amazing about this. Being from the UK, we’re not massively accustomed to creepy crawlies so this took some getting used to - especially the whip spiders/whip scorpions in the casita, though we were reassured by the staff that these are not in anyway dangerous.

    We loved our stay and have never felt so relaxed! We’d booked a deluxe double room, but as they had a retreat on, we were given the ‘casita’ which was very private and spacious! Our private terrace had an incredibly comfy seating area overlooking the jungle and volcano which was really special. We’d opted for dinner both nights we stayed and it was delicious and very generous in portion size! The breakfasts were also delightful. The staff were amazing, we had our food brought to us at the agreed times and the staff were always on hand to help us when needed. We were lucky enough to see some amazing bird life, and also had howler monkeys in the trees next to the terrace on our last morning there which was amazing!

    the lodge is absolutely stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace over the volcano and it's beautifully designed. It's very quite and remote which I loved. The only thing was that there was no food available because the cook was on vacation and I didn't bring any food to cook myself. But the staff was very helpful and organised a shuttle to a restaurant close by. I had a fantastic time.

    This is one of the best places we have been, and we have been traveling for more than a year. So peaceful and incredibly beautiful. A perfect view to the Mombacho forest, a lot of of Howlers and an extreme amount of fireflies in the evening. The pool is deep and refreshning. Finally, the owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.

    based on previous reviews I would have expected a little more from breakfast, we got watermelon, toast, a piece of cheese and a slice of deli meat. The watermelon was perfect and the jam was yummy but the meat was a bit weird and the toast was more like cardboard.

    I loved that we were the only ones there and had use of the common room/kitchen. It felt like we were in our own private house :) the views were amazing and the room was very clean - hot water was such a nice surprise (a luxury in Nicaragua) along with a king size bed! Don Henry was very kind and helpful.

    The access from the main road to the Hotel is a bit rough, but no problem for an SUV type vehicle.

    great location on top of a hill with wonderful view of the Mombacho volcano - yet conveniently close to the city of Granada. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food they prepared for us upon request was delicious.

    be aware that it’s up a dirt track which might be hard to access in your own vehicle. make sure you bring snacks and wine/beers if you want them - there’s no shops anywhere nearby! Also you need to be fairly comfortable with creepy crawlies - there’s quite a lot, as you’d expect in this type of property and location, so be prepared!

    amazing views in this lovely property. It’s so peaceful and you’ve got views of the volcano, Granada, the lake, and the surrounding jungle. We loved sitting on our terrace watching the sun set. The pool is nice, very refreshing, and the home cooked breakfasts and dinners were delicious! The room was beautiful and very comfortable, we loved the open air shower, and also the living space is really nice, we pretty much had it to ourselves. This is easily one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. The owners were very friendly and helpful, a few reviews commenting the owners weren’t present which is a bit odd - we personally were happy they gave us plenty of space and we had peace and quiet, but as soon as we needed anything they were very responsive and helpful.

    they have 3 rooms and two of them look the same but have totally different views. according to the photos of Booking I rented one with an amazing view but they said I rented one with a view of ugly trees but the post the exact same picture for both rooms so I expected the one with the good view. The owner upgraded me for the inconvenience and the experience was amazing.

    the property is just beautiful! rooms are reaaaally nice! the entire house is a work of art. the food from the chef is delicious. the Pool is beautiful. I was fairly compensated with an upgrade due to an inconvenience with the room.
