The most beautiful property you can find in Nicaragua. With 5 separate beaches and endless activities and 3 restaurants. This place spares no cost to ensure luxury delivered at all times. That being said, prepare your pocket book.

The ranch is an amazing property. Our room was beautiful, and we enjoyed the guided birdwatching and monkey trips offered. It was expensive to get there from the airport and back.

Very nice stay. The room was great with an amazing beach view. Food and service we’re very good but prices are comparable to similar quality hotel in the US. So prepare to pay.
