I have visited Laguna de Apoyo many times, and I’ve stayed at several different resorts. This one by far was my favorite. Peaceful, tranquil, and a great value. Beautiful natural area with good vibes. The attention to detail provided by the owner and the staff solidify my decision to stay here again the next time I visit the Lagoon.

Absolutely a slice of paradise on earth! If the Garden of Eden and Swiss Family Robinson had a baby it would be San Simian! Food was best we’ve had in all of Nicaragua. Amazing property with unbelievable terraced gardens down to the pebble beach, where you can go tubing, kayaking or swimming. Our cabana was absolutely huge with a top floor lounge and balcony with views of the lake. Don’t just want to go back, want to move there!!! Will be a regular stop any time we are in Nicaragua. Owner is the most friendly and interesting expat we’ve encountered. Can’t recommend highly enough, was an absolute dream escape!

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. It was absolutely fantastic. It’s in a beautiful location with a breeze off the water, the property and the cabins are beautiful as well. The food is also great with decent prices. The owner (Daniel) and crew were awesome and very helpful with organizing transportation and recommendations on hikes close by and things to do in the area. Highly, highly recommend this property if you are staying at Apoyo Lagoon.

Beautiful location right on Laguba de Apoyo. Breakfast was included and was great. The dinners at the restaurant were also good. We were there on very rainy days, so weren't able to enjoy the outside as much as we had hoped too. Daniel, the owner was very helpful with arranging shuttles etc.

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.
