Pacaya lodge the best place to stay in Laguna de Apoyo, I love staying at this lodge, the staff are very friendly and helpful, Jonathan an amazing person, above and beyond duty the call of duty, always there for you. The place is quite and very peaceful, sometimes gets loud a night with the monkeys in the forest, but it is a great to hear the sound of the jungle nature. The restaurant offers a great breakfast, Raul our server was excellent waiter, very professional, a local native from Granada that can advise where to go and what to see. This place is for people who want to connect with nature.
