The rooms need love. Stains on the sheets and curtains. Cobwebs. You can tell the room wasn’t used for a while. Also. They don’t clean the pool before you get there so expect lots of leaves and bugs in the pool. The fan in the living room didn’t work so we had to sleep together in the bedroom. Also the hotel was super short staffed so the poor girl who attended the front was also attending the kitchen.

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.

One with nature

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.

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 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!

Peace and Wellness

This place is perfect if you're looking truthfully to "get away". It is secluded, safe and peaceful. They do offer the wellness activities and services, but not a regular program - this is more self directed, which I was fine with. If you want a service, just ask and it will be arranged for you by the front desk. Breakfast, if included with your room, is the traditional breakfast (eggs, rice, bananas, coffee) or pancakes and provided literally seaside. The front desk and services were extremely friendly. Being a small resort, they come to know your name and room and are always happy to help. There are a lot of stairs, but after a couple of days, I got used to it. The trade off is a truly quiet and private place, safe enough that I forgot my keys a couple of times and didn't worry too much. A great place to reset yourself.

Perfect couple's mini-getaway in the Pacific Coast

This was a very nice surprise. Aqua Nicaragua is situated in El Gigante and enjoys their private bay with white-ish sandy beach, live music on Saturdays, great fish and seafood menu, friendly staff, spotless clean rooms, my cabin was located very close to the beach and restaurant area so I didn't have to walk very far the good: -super attentive staff, they borrowed me mosquito repellent which I had forgotten in Managua -plenty of extra activities available, from monkey to sea turtles, yoga classes, kayak riding, snorkeling, the works! -breakfast and dinner food was just great -at least my cabin was very well maintained, with AC and a fan which combined provided a nice cool temperature, I had a nice terrace overlooking the bay, a comfortable bed, and unbelievably stable WiFi connection in my room the bad: -if you are not situated by the beach, there will be a lot of walking in the wooden cat walks up and down stairs to get to the action area (beach, restaurante, etc.), but you do have to know that when you book this resort -I would advise to come by 4x4 pickup to the resort (the roads are not great) the ugly: -nothing, I wished I was able to stay 1 more night :-)

Waves and wellness, leave your electronics at home

Beautiful resort, lovely lodge, pristine bay. The only downsides were the very poor wifi signal in our two treehouse rooms, and the unpleasant - verging on surly - attitude of our receptionist, Haydee. She had a disinterested approach to our request to understand why the wifi didn't work, and then treated us like we were just a bother to her when we explained that our request had gone hours unaddressed. Turns out the router is not located well for the upper rooms, a fact quickly communicated by the technician I had to corral. Altho you don't go there to stayed connected, a little more courtesy on this particular employees part would have been nice. Food is great but pricey although you have no other options. All other staff were great, the kayaks and snorkeling equipment are free and good quality, and the bay on Playa Gigante outstanding.
