Absolutely beautiful stay with them! The staff is UNREAL! They go above and beyond! The experience was incredible - from our initial boat shuttle to the island with our boat captain, the wonderful bartenders/servers, the overnight staff, the masseuse... etc. I can't say enough positive things about all who work there. The food was delicious, all was spotless. Overall a great experience. Thank you very much! Gracias!

This place is truly magical. The location is peaceful and perfect for relaxation.
The customer service is outstanding, with staff ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the volcano view was a highlight.
The pool is amazing, perfect for pictures, and offers a breathtaking spot to enjoy both sunrise and sunset. The added bonus of kayaks made the experience even more enjoyable. One day was not enough— will definitely be returning for a longer stay.
Highly recommended: 10/10

As peaceful as it gets, great service

it's away from the city, very peaceful. If that is what you want it is perfect. If you want to walk around at night or have nightlife, this is not the place, but it was incredibly peaceful, the staff was amazing, food was delicious. We don't have a single bad thing to say about Espino

This isn’t just a hotel, it’s a life experience! The island the lodge is on is beautiful and very easy to get to. The facilities are fantastic, including the pool which has an amazing view. The lodge and rooms are immaculate and comfortable, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. If you get a chance to spend some time here you should absolutely take it - have your own little piece of paradise !!

A truly magical place

This place deserves to be at least at the top 10 places to visit. Fully immersed and surrounded by incredible natural beauty is just the beginning... Just go and you will be very grateful you did.

Hotel Scammers

These people play real dirty. As a expedia Gold/vip member this has never happened to me. Charges and taxes were paid in full. At the end of our trip they are asking for tax fees because of the country. I have stayed in tons of hotels all over the world, and never have I been asked to pay tax fees at the end of my stay. They agreed we did not have to pay them. Instead they charged my creditcard a day later. Stay away from this hotel if you don't like scammers.

Hidden Gem

I've been to Nicaragua several times and this was the most beautiful hotel I've stayed at. It has a unique location, incredible staff, great food, etc. I feel like I cannot say enough good things about my experience here! If you are new to Nicaragua and do not speak Spanish it may be difficult, however once you reach the hotel it will all have been worth it! The price is also unbeatable!
