The Lighthouse Retreat, Little Corn island, Nicaragua

Lovely place! Beautiful surroundings. Friendly owners and staff

Such a warm and welcoming space, up on a small hill, nestled between mature mango trees. Was here for 3 nights and had a really lovely stay. The views were incredible, and it was nice to come back to a lodge full of hammocks to relax after a day of exploring the island. The cabanas were very clean and had a nice shower. The owners were very friendly and shared some really great Little Corn Island / Nicaragua tips. They even organized a fun day trip to the Pearl Cays for us and a few of our cabana neighbors. Although the island is small, the location was quite perfect as it is only a 10min walk from the ferry terminal and the main commercial strip, but maintains a quiet oasis vibe.

Best food on the island

Everything

Nothing

This place was dope yo. Super pretty property, really helpful and friendly hosts. Cute little cabanas. If I could be adopted as an adult child, leaving the adult child orphanage and rocking up to a place like this would totally be like one of those dream adult child adoption scenarios.

I wasn't adopted as an adult child.... but to be fair, I never really asked anyone. I bet they would've said yes. Totally my fault.

The cook was amazing

It was far from the beach

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Lighthouse for three nights and it was overall good. We were met by Stéphenie with fresh and cold coconut water. Without a doubt, Stéphanie was very charming and helpful, same as the other two male staff we met. Also, Stéphanie is a good cook. It was my second time on this island (I had stayed at Ensueños 10 years ago) and I have to say I prefered this location. The place has a good ocean view to the east as is on a hillside in the middle of the island. It is a short walk to the dock, beaches, and bars for an easy night out.

There's no electricity from 6am-1pm everyday, and we quickly realized it wasnt possible to stay in the cabin too long because the fan on the ceiling was not blowing any air. I asked Stéphanie for another fan and she brought us a little but potent one that made our indoor stay tolerable during the night. The cabins could use at least one more window or shade from trees. The little window it has is not enough and there was no shade at all so we would leave the place very early everyday (it was hot already at 6am with the sun rising towards our cabin). Even though Stéphanie was lovely, she could learn more about guest experience and details about the hotel. We encountered an uncomfortable situation when we realized we had to pay an extra 23% for food and drinks (6% for card use, 15% IVA and 2% "island tax"). We talked to the owner Naseem because Stéphanie couldnt explain properly, the menu had no prices nor information about taxes and we were mistakenly charged few dollars extra. We still dont understand why we we were charged a 2% island tax because this wasnt the case when we ate at other places like Yemaya, Tranquilo or Desideri. Naseem did offered us free drinks after this. Also, on this last night we didnt have water in the bathroom so we had to use another cabin's bathroom, which was not difficult as we were the only guests of the hotel.

I loved the view, the food was delicious ( they have a farm with fresh fruits, veggies, and herbs ), the staff are wonderful, the proximity to the town ( 7 minute walk ) and its a lovely 20 minute walk to ‘Yemaya Reefs’ resort which has an excellent restaurant and gorgeous views over the Caribbean.

I had no light in my bathroom.

I had a really nice ocean views from my room! 😍 The breakfast also was very delicious!

Can’t really think of anything!
