Hacienda Puerta del Cielo Eco Lodge & Spa

We enjoyed our stay. The staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. We would definitely go back!

Excellent all round: stunning views; helpful, knowledgeable and attentive staff; 3 delicious meals of local food and 'afternoon tea ' at 5 every day . The lodge is in an isolated rural locaton and the owner has been very concerned to ensure that the development of the Hacienda has brought benefits to the locals in terms of employment and facilities. The cabins / rooms are spacious and very comfortable each with their own hammock and deck chairs in very private sitting areas.There is a full programme of tours and visits available to experience the life and culture of the area . We have travelled extensively around the world and this rates amongst our Very best experiences.

We stayed in Casa Linda for three nights in November. Casa Linda looks exactly like the pictures on the hotel website and also includes an outdoor shower, hammock, and seating area right into the private entrance to the pool. The Casa is surrounded by colorful flowering vegetation that draws butterflies, honey bees and small birds which produced a lovely background hum. The food was truly gourmet and made to order by Chef Carla who provided fresh, delicious, authentically Nicaraguan food every day. I am now addicted to her delicious empanada's, tostones, and chicken mole. Oscar was the great bartender creating the perfect Pina Colada and Mojito. JC and Leonel were perfect hosts ensuring that every need was met and provided tips and ideas to fully maximize our time there. I will say the highlight of the trip was relaxing and enjoying the view. The site is remote so plan your excursions in advance and plan to spend some quiet time enjoying the hotel. There is wi-fi available in the common areas.

We stayed for three nights in mid-August and had an absolute wonderful time. The hosts Linda and JC were great company; the food was excellent; and our casita was pleasant, quiet, and enjoyable. We wanted to just kick back after a strenuous two weeks completing a volunteer foot-bridge building project in Santa Teresa, Condega; and this was the perfect place for it. The staff was attentative, and we enjoyed the views from the lodge and the pool. If we have a chance to travel to the Granada area in the future, we would stay here again.

The resort is in a gorgeous location not close (w/in 15 minutes) to much of anything, but that is the point of going there. The food and service were outstanding and there are many options for great excursions within an hour of the hotel. Highly recommended for those looking to get away, relax, and experience Nicaragua.

My husband and I recently had an opportunity to stay at this lovely Hacienda. Luis, Pancho & Staff helped make our stay comfortable and memorable. The views from any spot at the resort are simply breathtaking! We requested Luis to make arrangements for volcano and city tours, and he did not disappoint. Food and accommodations were absolutely fabulous! We could not have picked a better place! This resort is in a remote location and not for everyone, but certainly one of the best places I've been too. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to escape to a little place in heaven! I can't wait to return!

The only way to experience Nicaragua! This exclusive and affordable resort will show the beauty of it's country, while the considerate and charming owner will personally give you a tour of the culture it has to offer. A MUST see!!!!

We spent 8 nights at the Hacienda. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The smaller nature of the resort provides an intimate setting and exceptional service that you do not get at larger resorts. The food was terrific. The hotel also provides a variety of excursions and spa services. We highly recommend the Hacienda!

Vi er veldig fornøyde med oppholdet og den servicen som var lagt opp for at vi skulle ha det best mulig hele tiden. Det er en plass vi gjerne vil dra tilbake til en dag, perfekt for brullypsreise =) Hotellet har en nydelig arkitektur som er åpen og varm, man får en følelse av at man hører til når man er der! Dette er den perfekte plassen for og bygge kjærlighet!

The view of the lake and volcanos, the natural reserve, is astounding. You really are able to remove yourself from all the complications of society and simply enjoy the natural beauty of Nicaragua. Also, the staff are so friendly and provide a true family welcoming. I will absolutely go back to this paradise.
