Guacimo Lodge

If you are interested in exploring the San Juan River and Indio Maiz reserve, this is the ecolodge for you! The rooms were comfortable and well guarded from mosquitos. The food was local and delicious and the staff was very pleasant. The best part were the tours with Orlando who is an excellent guide - a night hike in the rainforest is a must! You never know what you’ll see but we saw so many rare birds, poison dart frogs, caiman and more.

The journey to the lodge was long but with the help of the Guacimo staff, we found it pretty easy with only limited Spanish language knowledge. This ecolodge is remote, so please set your expectations accordingly. Go for the nature, not the amenities.

Prachtige omgeving

Weinig mogelijkheden om iets op te bergen , alles moest in rugzak blijven. Beperkte kaart voor 3 dagen verblijf

Hard to pin point anything. The whole experience getting to and then staying here made for lifetime memories. Two things stand out, though: communication about logistics getting there was a 10/10, the other being the lovely yet unobtrusive staff. If you have a little adventure in you, I highly recommend this place.

In een woord geweldig! Locatie, Lodge, Tours, Service!

It’s a unique place on the Rio San Juan, the cabins are immersed in nature and with nets all around, it’s really nice to hear all the sounds of the forest. The staff is really really nice and made everything to make us comfortable.

For the price point the rooms are offered you’d expect some more attention to details and maintenance of the facility to be a bit more on point: some examples are the wooden steps to get to the lodges, maintenance of the pool area, room lighting). Also we found the food and the activities largely overpriced compared to anything else in Nicaragua.

Sehr nettes Personal und super schöne Lage am Fluss

Mehr vegetarische Küche

Prachtige locatie aan de rivier, ver weg van alle drukte en hectiek. Mooie hutten, erg sfeervol ingericht. De eigenaar Manuel is een erg vriendelijke, behulpzame en enthousiaste man. Ook het personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk. We hebben 4 activiteiten ondernomen met de gids Orlando, zeker aan te raden! Erg mooie omgeving om te wandelen en kajakken.

I had a great time at Guacimo lodge! As someone in the airline industry I stay in a great deal of hotels every year many that are top star quality. Guacimo lodge is one of the best best places I have stayed. The place is rustic and beautiful. The staff are attentive and fantastic and beat many of the hotels I stay at. Nothing is too much trouble they really do look after your every need. No matter if it’s a tour you want to go on or onward travel plans they help in every way they can. The menu at the lodge is small but delicious And perfectly cooked. Breakfast in particular was fresh and delicious. I couldn’t recommend the Guacimo lodge more it is a fantastic place to unwind and get back to nature. I look forward to staying again in the future.

It was a magical place! The staff was so caring, everyone did the most they could to help us create a special memory. Even without speaking spanish you could get around here and even if there are not a lot of tourist in the area and the way to the lodge is a little adventure we always felt absolutely secure! Manuel helped us get to the lodge and to our next place so we didnt have to organise anything. It was worth every dollar!

Incredible location away from civilisation. Close to the indomaiz biosphere. All home comforts and excellent staff who went above and beyond. Marjiory in particular made our trip entirely seamless. Ask her to organise Orlando as your guide (we saw more wildlife in 2 hours than over multiple days in other jungle lodges) and get Jose to expertly drive your boat.
