    For the trail to the wonderful retreat I would advise a four by four vehicle although we made it with a small compact car thanks to Jairo!

    The location was absolutely beautiful. The surroundings on the mountain , the view of the Mombacho volcanoes and the lake were stunning. My family and I awoke to the sound of monkeys and observed beautiful little hummingbirds each morning as we relaxed in lovely hammocks. The facilities were a wonderful retreat. The large cabin was amazing and the suite was wonderful. I also cannot speak enough about the amazing people who worked at this facility. Jairo is an outstanding host. My wife and I talked with him about all types of things for hours and his staff is equally amazing. They served wonderful local cuisine that was wholesome and delicious. Jairo was so amazing that he personally escorted me down the roads when I had concerns about the road worthiness of my vehicle. He never ask3d anything for this and is truly a humble and wonderful person that my family now considers a new friend. What an awesome experience!!!

    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!😍

    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.
