Book Villanueva hotels

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Portales Hotel in Chinandega, Nicaragua, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the welcoming atmosphere and outstanding service made us feel like we were part of a family. The pool is absolutely stunning—clean, beautifully designed, and the perfect temperature! It was a fantastic place to relax during the warm days. Breakfast was a highlight of each morning. The all-you-can-eat buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, and I loved that I could order my eggs cooked exactly how I wanted. Breakfast service from 6 to 11 AM made it easy to enjoy a leisurely start to the day. For lunch and dinner, the culinary offerings were exceptional! I especially recommend trying the salmon with veggies; it was simply phenomenal! Each meal was thoughtfully prepared, and the flavors were incredible. The rooms are perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The air conditioning was a blessing, the WiFi was excellent, and the spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers were such a treat. Our room was consistently cleaned, ensuring a comfortable stay. What truly stood out, however, was the amazing staff. From Crishian and Francisco at the bar to the lovely concierge team—Heidy, Lorena, Stephanie, and Milagro—their warm smiles and friendly demeanor made every interaction a joy. Jorge was also fantastic.

A Nicaraguan emerging & hidden gem! Although not part of my original itinerary, H & R Ranch is the superior choice. I originally booked my Mar 2024 trip to Nicaragua back in Sept. 2023 without any knowledge of H & R Ranch until the day of my flight. My determination of the unfortunate situation was eased from the moment I phoned H & R Ranch before my last minute booking throughout the duration of my stay at the ranch. The hospitality and experience is more than can be explained in this review, due to Tony's hospitality, my stay at H & R Ranch and the cigar factory tour he arranged has been one of my most cherish trips. H& R Ranch is about a 3-hour drive from the MGA airport, taxi about $100 USD one-way. The ranch appeared to be easy to find for the taxi. Check-in was easy & simple; I quickly found out that most of the team does not speak English, however the language barrier didn’t pose any issues. I was warmly greeted by Maury and we were able to bypass the language barrier to get me check-in. The rooms are as picture, very simple, no glitz & glam but perfect! The food is good, well seasoned. If you want serene, stillness, simple, an escape with breathtaking views and energy along so much more, in addition to Texas size hospitality in Nicaragua (Tony is from Texas) along with his amazing team Vanessa, Maury, Adie, and Jose, than visit Nicaragua and book your stay at H & R Ranch for an unforgettable and priceless experience.

It was a very nice property and we enjoyed staying there. The care taker was very friendly and always available to help. Would definitely use again and recommend to friends.

It was very nice especially for the area it’s hard to find a nice clean place to lay your head in this part of Nicaragua. The room was very clean smelled good nice working air conditioner no complaints with the room at all. The staff was also very nice and helpful . Good The only thing I found negative was the pool was not really that clean inside there was a lot of something floating in the water in the bottom I don’t think the filter does a very good job. We actually did not go in the water. I wasn’t willing to risk getting some kind of bacteria or something on my skin.

Presentable rooms. Nothing fancy but the price is right. I could hear the TV playing loudly in the adjacent room but they turned it off at 10 pm. Air conditioning works. Breakfast included. Can’t complain.

Great
