This property is located in the heart of the jungle and it's beautiful! The only wildlife I encountered was the crabs that tried to take over our romantic dinner on the beach and some other wildlife at that time. Everything else was amazing, just be mindful there is no elevators all stairs...so if you're taking older parents with you be mindful of how they would get up and down. It's an amazing workout tho, my legs are super tight because of it lol...so glad I workout because it could have been a lot worse. Great property for relaxing and that is what we did! Great staff and people!

Unique Stay in Nicaragua
I booked Aqua Resort at the end of a week long active trip in Nicaragua to relax and unwind. Overall it was a nice stay as long as you are aware of a few things. Pros: The view from my suite (Sapote LS) was one of the most beautiful sights I've seen with clear view of the ocean. The plunge pool was perfect for the hot temps. The room was spacious and there was an additional room/kitchen if you want to prepare your own food. The beach was private and so pretty. I enjoyed the restaurant although it is expensive for Nicaragua. Playa Gigante is about a 30 min walk if you want cheaper options for food/drinks. The service was great. I was able to reach the front desk via WhatsApp and they tried to quickly resolve issues. Cons: If you do not like or cannot do many stairs, you will have trouble at this hotel. But it is a treehouse set up so that is to be expected. If you do not like nature this may not be the hotel for you. I encountered monkeys, raccoons, scorpions and other wildlife but again you are in the trees. My main issue was my A/C did not work well which made for uncomfortable sleep when its 85 degrees at night. They tried to fix it but it only temporarily improved. For the price of the room this should not be an issue. I also felt they could have had better toiletries in room for the price. I would stay again if they worked out some of the kinks. It truly is a unique place.

Tranquil Retreat
I had a great experience at Aqua. The staff were accommodating and welcoming. The cabins are beautiful, hearing the trees dance in the wind and the waves on the shore- you cannot bet that. The beach itself is amazing and sunsets are in perfect view. Very happy with my stay and would highly recommend.

Property was ok, felt a bit abandoned, I found out that they just switched to a new administration and they will be making changes which I did see, our room was excellent, pool was dirty when we got there but they cleaned it right away, whatever problem we encountered they took care of us inmediately, I love that. We had a hiking tour guide named Will, he was outstanding, I can see him in a leadership role for the resort, he knows the property in and out. Overall I definitely recommend this place, we stayed in a luxury suite with a beach view, kitchen and pool with breakfast included, very nice. If you stay in a suite with a kitchen, bring your own food, you have a fully equipped kitchen.

Gorgeous property however two issues I have to mention. It is not as private as it looks in the pictures, another cabin is right next to it and whoever passes behind the cabin can see the pool patio. Another thing to note, there is absolutely nothing in the town around so we mostly hang out in the cabin. The private beach for the resort is nice tho so if youre planning on not doing anything besides staying in the lodge this could be a great option

This was an enjoyably relaxing unique experience for my wife and I. We’ve never been so close to nature while enjoying such pleasant creature comforts and astonishing views. We even got a good scenic walk and stair work out in daily while walking back and forth to the beach/restaurant. The staff was awesome, super friendly and accommodating to our needs.
