Absolutely delightful stay for five nights. Don't usually stay at resorts because they are too touristy, but this is small, beautiful setting, private beach. All the amenities without the glitz. A true experience of the country and it's resources Will definitely return.

I'm a little late writing this review, but I wanted to make sure we told how great of a time we had! Just for a time reference, we went the last week of April. First let me clarify why it was exactly what we needed: My boyfriend and I lead stressful lives and we wanted a vacation where we could... More

I just got back from an 8 day trip to Aqua Wellness with a friend. We stayed at the Mongo Congo luxury suite with private plunge pool, deck and separated kitchen/dinning area. Our room was located at the top of the hill, nestled amongst the tree. The room was extremely clean, well appointed and luxurious with nice furniture, a strong... More

Our first two nights were spent in a beautifully spacious luxury tree house, with large bedroom, great separate kitchen, and a plunge pool (which i might add is where we spent most... More

Pros : The resort is located on a beautiful cove. The views are stupendous. The rooms are beautiful. The rondon from bromelia was delicious. Cons: Staff has poor communication (no walkie talkies.) There is no transportation within the resort, therefore if you're handicap you'll have difficulty traveling from the reception to the rooms, to the beach, and to the restaurant.... More

Hola Ltejeda84, Thank you very much for your balanced feedback and list of Pros/Cons. We take great pride in our breathtakingly beautiful location and elevated treehouse villas set into the mountain jungle-scape. Currently, all of our department heads carry cellular phones for direct contact with the front desk, but many of the other staff members (landscaping/maintenance/housekeeping) do not carry walkie...

On arrival we were shown to our tree-house, Espival, which is a two story Penthouse Villa with ocean view and private plunge pool. The villa was well equipped with full kitchen, washing machine, drier and a good sized verandah. The plunge pool was very cold and the verandah was overlooked by the neighboring villa, Dormilona, which luckily was not occupied... More

Hola Heb99, Thank you so much for your candid review and we are so glad that you chose to visit us at AQUA Nicaragua. We truly appreciate your constructive criticism in regards to the additional shade/sunbeds and the experience that you had at reception. During higher occupancy times, the shade at the beach can be inadequate. We want to let... More

Aqua Wellness in Nicaragua is magical. It's such a gem I want to keep it all to myself. The property is well done with all the woodwork, a plunge pool is a necessity when booking. The staff is muy simpatico, the food delicious, the yoga divine, the spa a must. It's a secluded oasis with a lovely beach (including 120+... More

Though I had read a lot of reviews and had heard first hand that there are a lot of stairs to contend with, somehow I wasn't prepared (even though I normally climb 80 flights on the escalator every other day)! That said, the beach is worth every last step! It is a fabulous beach, even if there is a lack... More
