I went here with two friends (all of us new to Nica) in March of 2011. I had been in close contact via email with the owner, Shamus, and he arranged to have a safe cab pick us up from the airport and take us to Lago de Apoyo. The driver let us stop for pictures, was perfectly on time,... More

To celebrate my 37th birthday my husband and I decided to take a vacation from our vacation here in Nicaragua. We packed our bags, hopped on the micro bus and made our way to Apoyo Lodge in Laguna de Apoyo. As soon as we put our bags down and got settled into our room I knew we made the right... More

Apoyo Lodge hits all the right notes if you’re in need of some rejuvenation, relaxation and moments of Buddha like bliss. It manages to combine that sought after sense of remoteness (the off road driving on the way there sets the scene nicely) with complete comfort, amazing food and a family like feel which you can chose to embrace or...

We took advantage... More

If we're ever back to Central America, we will for sure be stopping at Apoyo Lodge! Tory and Ali More

My wife and I spent this past winter in Central America and had searched both Costa Rica and Nicaragua looking for a decent, semi-affordable place to base ourselves for a few months. Well, we searched and searched, the Corn Islands, San Juan del Sur, the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and.... nothing. Then, after a month or so, becoming increasingly... More

Great Stay! Would recommend to everyone! After backpacking for a few weeks, was a great, peaceful (and CLEAN) place to stay and recharge our batteries.
