I spent a week at Aqua Nicaragua and it was an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The highlight of my trip was doing yoga on the breathtaking yoga deck with the amazing yoga teacher, Grace. Grace was very knowledgeable and helpful and I got more out of yoga than I ever have even after years of... More

When you arrive at aqua wellness resort the atmosphere, location, and surroundings will amaze and astound you. The place is absolutely incredible. At that point, you should turn around and go somewhere else. The service is poor and the food is worse. The staff hang around the bar and restaurant constantly and tell everyone how great their establishment is. The... More

Dear Christine, we're happy you get what we are building at Aqua with our local communities, but of course saddened that this is despite the fact you found the service experience to be unsatisfactory. Thank you for your frank comments and feedback, which we hope will help us to improve. We certainly acknowledge you did not experience Aqua at its... More

Aqua Nicaragua is by far the best retreat setting I have ever been to. I have led many yoga retreats abroad and this trip was so extraordinary on all levels. First off, the remote tranquil setting...beautiful beach santuary...magical enchanting forrests, flora and fawna...all tucked away in this incredible, peaceful cove. Secondly, the service was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and... More

We spent a week over the Thanksgiving Holiday at AWR and the place is amazing. The setting alone is worth the price of admission. The villas are very cozy and clean. We stayed in one of the Penthouse Villas, so we had a full kitchen, big deck and plunge pool. The restaurant is simple, but the food if really impressive... More

For a few days in May 2011, I experienced a little slice of heaven at Aqua Wellness Resort. After my first two days, and three yoga classes, a nature walk, a massage, a swim in the ocean, a nap in a hammock, amazing local cuisine using fresh ingredients, and an epic sunset later, I was totally blissed out. The staff... More

I stayed at Aqua... and loved it. It's like walking into a totally different world- howler monkeys, frogs, private beach... Romantic, relaxing... I'm glad we stayed! The staff is great too!

Be prepared for a long from Managua - about 3 hours with the last hour over a a very bumpy dirt road. Though, once you arrive, you won't want to leave. All the villas are up in the trees connected by wooden walkways which are in some cases bouncy little suspension bridges which reminded me of Swiss Family Robinson. Some... More

I booked my 7-night stay at Aqua in Nicaragua just two weeks prior to departure because I really needed a vacation so I didn’t fully know what I was getting myself into. The place completely exceeded my expectations. Rene picked me up from the airport, driving his trusty SUV the 2 ½ hours to Aqua. Most of the trip is... More
