Great view, very chill and lovely ambiance.

Food was American price with the lowest quality. You can’t charge 22$ for a small steak and don’t even bother to cook it well. Love the place and so disappointed with their kitchen. Only 3 options for dinner and we ordered steak. It was so bad. My only negative point was their kitchen. Loved our room and the vibe.

If you're flying in or out of Managua, don't bother staying there, ut instead stay here. It's less than an hour drive and an absolute oasis. The views from the gardens are spectacular, over a lake and volcano. The hotel has a 'concierge' service via whatsapp which gives instant response and excellent booking of taxis etc. very helpful. Great breakfast too, including the view! Granada, the local town, has several excellent restaurants and is a 10 min taxi.

If you're there for more than a night or so, the in-room storage is very limited; 2 small drawers and a small hanging space.

Definitely, we will stay again in El Guayacan next time we visit Nicaragua, hopefully very soon. This property is like a small oasis to escape form the daily life routine and enjoy the nature and meditate about the simple things in life. Tonny and the Guayacan staff are absolutely lovely. We didn't want to do the check out :). That is how amazing our experience was. Spotless and comfortable room, pool, view to the Laguna de Apoyo and Granada Town. The sounds of the wind blowing and the view of the sunset from the back patio were amazing. The Guayacan staff works very hard to make you feel like at home.

Guayacan Retreat was a real surprise. We were staying nearby in the city of Granada - and decided to adventure out to Laguna de Apoyo. The view was magical. We were high enough up to see the Laguna - a huge, hidden volcanic lake , Mombacho volcano and the city of Granada with Lake Nicaragua gleaming in the background. The temperature was much cooler than Granada - so a bit of an escape. The buildings and rooms are a class act - beautifully designed, native woods, stone, and locally sourced tiles and furniture. Whoever designed the building, rooms and furnishings paid attention to details and understood the important of light, space, and integrating with nature. The beds and bathrooms were awesome. The setting was serene, staff more than attentive, and the food excellent. And only 20 minutes from Granada....

Actually, they nailed it.

I had such a wonderful experience at El Guayacán! The customer service was truly top-notch—every staff member went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcomed and taken care of. On top of that, the view is absolutely breathtaking. Whether you're relaxing with a drink or just soaking in the scenery, it’s the perfect place to unwind. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

The view is amazing! The food is great, especially Nica breakfast. Very attentive staff. Rooms beautiful and bed very comfortable. Slept great. Easy to arrange transport.

The espresso machine wasn't working. Not a huge problem, as they also had good brewed coffee, but that would have been a nice little extra!

The accommodation were real luxury and well worth 5 stars.

From the beds to the shower and all the linens were very high end quality.

This is an exceptionally beautiful place which has been prepared with great care. Rooms feel like an oasis, service is helpful and friendly and the location, with views onto the volcano as well as the crater lake are breath taking. Dinner was served in an open pavilion with full view of the panorama

It was a unique experience. We loved everything about this place. It is incredibly beautiful, elegant and peaceful, the view is breathtaking and the staff is extremely attentive and polite. Our suite was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything feels and looks new. We also loved the beautiful garden and the pool. The price-quality relation is very good, it was a truly luxurious experience.

Spectacular Private Villa wtih well kept grounds and an incredible view of the lagoon and volcano. It was right out of movie.! Will definitely stay again.

Everything was 1st class
