Rivas Department Hotels with Spa

"This stay is spectacular! The staff are exceptional, food was delicious and the resort is one of a kind. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, waking up to howler monkeys outside our patio in the trees was very memorable. The pools, waterslide and waterfall drop were so much fun. Our stay included breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. I would highly, highly recommend this stay. "

"Staff was amazing! The rooms and bed comfortables and the lighting was warm. A relax ambiance immediately hit your senses. Hammocks in the front of the room inviting and took a two hour nap shortly after arriving. Shower was one of the best I had in Nicaragua. To complete the showering experience, missing shampoo and conditioner. Dinning phenomenal. Bar well stocked. However the hotel has room for improvement such as improve the 2km driveway and stairs heading to the lake and some dencing need attention. Amazing staff! I would stay here again here for a least a month if i could do it again. "

"Friendly proprietors go out of their way to please"

"Better than expected. Highly recommend. "

"The in room massage was amazing. The property had many surprising areas to spend time in the sun (pools, hammocks, hot tubs and more). Be prepared to coexist with beautiful exotic birds onsite. Communication at all hours via WhatsApp was very helpful. Would definitely return noting that though walkable to so much in town, the walk isn’t for everyone. The shortest path we took each day is local and unpaved. Recommended for adventurers. Taxis and personal drivers are all cash only so be prepared."

"It was allright"

"The drive in is pretty scary (especially in the dark) however the stay is absolutely worth it! Not too many other places around. Ocean is rocky right out front. Pool and amenities are amazing. All the excursions are so worth it. The detail to this place is impeccable. The best thing about my stay was the staff. They remember you and are as personable as one can be. LOVED our stay and will be back. "

"The views from this place are stunning! Great view of the lake on both sides of the island, as well as a great view of the volcano (we came during rainy season so it was mostly covered by clouds). The food selection is a bit limited and not the best we had on trip, but still good! The best part about this stay was their massage service, I didn’t catch her name but WOW she did an amazing job and it was only $35 USD for an hour of the best massage I’ve ever gotten. The local cat Coco who sleeps on the property is so sweet and cuddly! My one complaint about this stay is that the main road was closed (not sure how it is normally), so you’re required to travel up a pretty steep and sketchy dirt road that is filled with large rocks - only certain types of cars can make it and it floods whilst raining. To get to the main road you need a way down this dirt road, which is probably a little over a mile. I felt too sketched out to go down it on the ATV’s you can rent (for $70 USD a day), but then you must pay for a driver down. So, overall, the views are amazing but in order for those views you need to sacrifice being a bit out of the way. We rented an all day driver for $75 USD who took us to the chocolate farm, ojo de agua, and playa de mango - all were AMAZING! (My other complaint is that the mosquitoes here are out of control, my boyfriend got eaten alive. The rooms have a bug net over the bed but other than that have some openings to the outside, so we did have a cockroach)"

"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. "
