    Best place to experience wildlife and Mombacho volcano!!

    The host and owner of the lodge Nicolas is very nice and helpful with organizing hikes on Mombacho volcano. The lodge is truly in the midst of the Mombacho Reserve - we were able to observe a sloth for several days as well as howler monkey every day - and offers a great view from a tree platform and has a really nice space to stay and relax. The food is very good as well.

    The owner could have been more welcoming when we arrived. There was no real 'hello' and we weren't given any information on the park, area or wildlife, other than the rules. Admittedly we could have asked more questions but I think most visitors would like to know what wildlife you can see and where you can see it. For example, when we told the owner we were setting off to walk to the top, we weren't informed that 2 out of 3 of the trails close from around 12:30pm onwards.

    Beautiful location in the heart of Mombacho Volcano Nature Reserve. We saw so much wildlife during our short stay, including howler monkeys, hummingbirds, tarantulas, scorpions, a snake and a skunk. We highly recommend the excellent night tour. The breakfast was filling and the WiFi was strong in the restaurant area as promised. The lodge itself was simple but spacious and had a good view of the wildlife from the balcony. There's a really cool viewpoint setup in one of the tree canopies.

    Some meals were very salty, but always cooked fresh and a good set menu. The portions are very large, so I would recommend sharing a meal if you are not a big eater.

    Sleeping in the jungle was such a cool experience. We loved that there was a family of howler monkeys living in the trees surrounding the lodge. The staircase to the canopy lookout was a nice surprise and a beautiful spot to hang out. The guide who led the night hike was excellent and helped us spot many animals we would have never seen. The host had prompt communication and was very organized, helping us with our tours and transportation.

    The location is superb. In the middle of the jungle between all the animals. We were even woken up one day by a group of howler monkeys right above our cabin. The owner was friendly and helpful. We also recommend the night tour!

    Nothing really, I was there for just one night just doing the hike at the top of the volcano. An extra night would have been great to do the awesome zip lines near by.

    Perfect quiet place on the side of a glorious volcano. This volcano is super lush and contains a rare cloud forest. The cabins are very cute and practical.

    Could use fans in the rooms as it does get hot but only during part of the year. Most of the year it's very cool

    You will not be disappointed spending a few nights here if your goal is to get into nature and disconnected from this technology ran world we are in. Amazing staff, amazing experience overall. Just be warned, one time here won't be enough, you will be back

    Not so easy to jump on transport to top of volcano as trucks fill up further down fhe road (it was busier because it was the weekend). Needed to walk quite steeply uphill to cafe to get lift. Would be unsuitable if you have difficulty walking.

    Great location on the volcano in the jungle, quite remote. Good breakfast, friendly & helpful staff. On property, viewpoint in trees accessed by steep steps ( not suitable for young children)

    Staff is so nice and so helpful. Nicholas is super generous too, picked us up from the base and dropped us off after our stay. The food is great, especially for being in the middle of the jungle. El Mirador is beautiful, be sure to check it out! We saw a bunch of howler monkeys. Ask about the night tour! Very cool

    Maybe bring a mosquito net if you need one. We didn't need one, so not a problem for us. The cabins have full meshing on the windows and doors anyway.

    Great location for the hike up Mombacho. Nicolas and his team were phenomenal in catering to all our needs. The nocturnal tour is a must. Brekkie is huge and lovely.

    You live in the forest, so expect insects and spiders. Bring mosquito spray.

    perfect location in the middle of the rainforest, where you can hear all the animals! Cozy feeling in the restaurant with hammocks and games. the Hotel also has a wired stair up in a 20 meter tall tree where you can see the whole landscape 🤩 Staff were kind and offered a night walk in the forest (say yes to this!). Restaurant was great and fair prices.

    Everything suited us well and we had a wonderful experience but, for suggestions for improving I would say the food is on the pricey side and the dogs could startle people nervous around them.

    Super location right in the lovely forest at Mombacho. It also has an exciting jungle ladder to a viewing platform, and the opportunity to take hikes up the volcano or shorter ones around the lodge. The cabins are spacious and comfortable with lovely hot showers. I also enjoyed the fascinating night safari. The manager is kind too, picking us up from the bus stop and dropping us back In Granada at thy end of our stay. It’s a special place in the heart of nature.

    The food was amazing. The bungalows were perfect. I was surprised how cool it stayed in there during the day. The location has trails you can explore. My wife and I saw plenty of monkeys while exploring. Additionally they offer a night hike which is really cool. Lastly this is a great place to stay if you want to do the crater hikes.

    Nothing

    Breakfast and dinner (we did not have lunch there) were superb. Very reasonable price for being in the middle of the forest. Host Nicholas and his staff were very helpful and friendly. Nicholas even dropped us to the bus station to catch the bus and he picked us up at the entrance to the Mombacho Volcano conservation area. This is the place to stay if you want to escape from your busy daily life. You go to sleep to the sound of the forest (Mombacho Volcano area is very windy) and wake up to the sound of howler monkeys and birds. What else can you ask for.
