My husband and I stayed here 5 nights over the New Year’s holiday and I booked a Sunday day trip for four of my visitors in late January. Both experiences exceeded expectations. Mountain breezes and gorgeous vistas are the first things to enjoy. Then there’s the extraordinary craftsmanship you’ll begin to notice in every detail of this place. The family... More

Just returned from a three day stay @ Puerta del Cielo and from the moment we met Luis at the airport we felt pampered and taken care of.

What a wonderful discovery in Nicaragua. I was able to spend the last few days of my recent vacation at Puerta del Cielo - that is, a few days in Paradise. I was immediately charmed by the warm welcome and hospitality of Luis and his entire team and quickly became part of the family. A place of incredible beauty, in... More

You can believe the reviews written about the Hacienda Puerta Del Cielo. My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed for 3 nights in early December 2011 at this eco-friendly resort, and we were blown away by the genuine warmth and hospitality of Luis and his entire staff. It is hard to imagine how something man-made could be constructed... More

What a beautiful spot! We were picked up in an air conditioned van provided by the resort. I had no idea what to expect. After a brief drive through town of Masatepe, we hit the dirt road that leads to this beautiful resort. Do not be intimidated by this! It's part of the charm. When we pulled up to the... More

What a slice of Heaven! First of all, the hotel arranged to have our party of eight picked up and brought to the Hacienda in their new, comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. I knew we were off to a great start right then. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owners and staff members and offered welcome refreshments that included Nicaraguan typical... More
