Rancho Santana

My family has visited Rancho Santana twice now! We go for the waves and surf experience! Jared was our guide and Dom assisted in setting everything up! The surf team is like no other they personalize the surf experience to make it memorable and fun for all levels! Jared always wears a smile and puts all of his energy in making your experience 5 star! Highly recommend Rancho Santana for SURFING!

We just finished a trip of a lifetime at Rancho Santana with our extended family for Christmas. We enjoyed so many wonderful excursions on the beautiful property grounds- surfing, mountain biking, sand boarding, horseback riding and boat trips. The Villa we stayed in was gorgeous and comfortable and easily accommodated our party of 16. Jose Alcoser was our butler for the week and he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. He was personable, kind and attentive. He handled all the logistics of planning excursions, meals and transportation for a group of 16 so that everything went very smoothly and we could truly relax and enjoy the week. We also enjoyed all the delicious meals prepared by Chef Jader for our group. Everything he served us was fantastic. And a shout out to Marcos for driving us around all week with a smile. Highly recommend Rancho Santana as a wonderful place for a family trip.

The house was amazing. It was extremely clean and well stocked. The staff kept it spotless every day. Our butler José Alcoser Was exceptional. He thought of every detail and kept us on schedule. Chef jayder was excellent and head waiter Jaylen also exceptional. Driver Marco was always ready and waiting for us. Surfed every day although the waves are smallish in December. Beaches and water were perfect and the main attraction I would avoid crossing the boarder from Costa Rica. Fly direct into Managua. Took six hours going north and less time coming back but very unpredictable. Overall highly recommend. Hope to return someday.

Our second trip to the Ranch. Staying 2 weeks over the holidays. Kids are 13, 10 and 8 with endless options to enjoy everyday. Surfing tops their list, but they are also enthusiastic about horseback riding, art classes, swimming, hiking and other activities. Staff is great. Food is solid and chef is committed to top notch preparation. Our waiter Christopher Velasquez takes good care of us each morning for our ritual breakfast outside with stunning views.

Service was very good. Our server was Ronny; he was courteous, efficient, and very personable. We were very satisfied.

Definitely worth taking the horse ride. The guys who run it are great. Beautiful stables, we had an amazing family ride along the beach. Thank you Januar!

Januar, Miguel, Jovagny were amazing. Super nice and knowledgeable. We loved our beach sunset ride. They were great with our kids.

We love this restaurant and Luis our waiter is always our favorite. He is so very kind and thoughtful. His smile is welcoming and wonderful. And even though we speak Spanish, Luis had very good English!! And that makes the experience even more comfortable. We request him when we can. The food is so very good. The sushi is the best. Spicy tuna maki is always our favorite. And thank you for having rose wine and even better - sangria rosada!! We spend my birthday here every year and we love it. Thank you.

Very professional staff. Horses were well trained. Stalls and grounds clean. Guides were awesome very knowledgable and curious. I never felt rushed and answered all my questions about the ranch, horses, and wildlife. All experience levels welcome with gentle horses. Jovani and Fernando highly recommend. We look forward seeing them next year.
