“Great for 1st time visitors”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012

A new standard for hotel concierge excellence can be seen at the Hotel Xalteva. The staff consistently worked over and above to ensure our stay was safe, comfortable and pleasurable. The staff was very friendly and worked with a high degree of integrity. This was our first trip to Nicaragua. We only knew a few words of Spanish however many of the staff members spoke English. They made arrangements for whatever activities we desired (including taking Spanish lessons). The hotel truly is an oasis in the desert. Every day and even throughout the day we saw staff continually cleaning the hotel grounds and tending to the gardens. The internet photos of the hotel only provide a glimpse of what to expect when you arrive. We strongly recommend visitors to stay at the hotel because we firmly believe Xalteva is the best hotel in Granada.

You are so kind and we value your business. Casa Nica Spanish School is a great school to attend while visiting Granada. They can come to your home, hotel, or condominium and give private classes. While staying at Condo Hotel Xalteva you can practice your Spanish with our friendly staff who love to work with each guest. All staff are professional, highly qualified and trustworthy and we assure you that you will not regret your decision to stay with us.

“Xalteva was great for families”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

When my nephew was baptized we had the after party at Xalteva. The staff went above and beyond to make the event an ideal conclusion to a busy morning. The food was in great abundance and in high demand by our party, the surroundings were classically Nicaraguan and the staff felt like an extension of our family (minus typical family drama ;-) There were about 15 people in our group ranging from infants to the elderly. The venue had a pool for the kids and and a cabana for the adults (fit with natural shade from the vines and trees growing around us). What surprised me the most is the cleanliness of the Hotel and it's facilities. Grenada is a fun city but is often dusty, hot and cluttered; Xalteva was an oasis we didn't want to leave.

Room Tip: Any room on the second floor is great. The view alone is worth it. If you don't like the heat...

Yes, you are correct. Xalteva is great for families. Whether you are a large family or a small family, Xalteva is a perfect place for your family to be together. Our pool and common areas provide enough space to enjoy each others company while meeting other guests. For families with small children, our location is safe and secure and we can close our front wooden doors for your comfort and peace of mind. If you wish to have a luncheon or small event while staying with us our staff can help you arrange your event too!

“Hotel Xalteva”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012

I visited the Hotel for the first time while visiting my sister who lives in Nicaragua. They took me there and I had a great time. The second floor has views of the volcano. The pool was great, very clean and the staff was very friendly. I even had a chance to practice my Spanish although a lot of the staff spoke English.

We are so glad you came to visit us while in Nicaragua. Our staff likes to help our guests practice Spanish and equally loves to learn English. While enjoying your stay with us we can help you arrange not only Spanish classes but also drawing and painting, mosaic, and cigar rolling classes. There is also a local gym that offers a 5 day free membership to all of our guests as well as a discount on spa services. While a guest here various Granada businesses have extended special discounts on their products and services. Hope to see you back again in Nicaragua soon.

“A sparkling clean pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2012

My 8-year old son and I frequent the pool at Hotel Xalteva. It is always a relaxing, enjoyable time. The pool is sparkling clean. The staff are friendly and ready to help. Above all, it's quiet. Stop in for the afternoon!

“Friendly and service oriented”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

We stayed at Hotel Xalteva for one month and enjoyed it immensely. The hotel is exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the staff is genuinely friendly and extremely helpful. We have two young boys and very much appreciate what is easily the cleanest pool we've seen in Nicaragua. When we commented on the poor reception of the wireless Internet into our room they installed a booster just outside of our door. The staff ran numerous errands for us including bicycle repair, pharmacy, etc. In short, service quality is outstanding. The hotel and grounds are very well maintained and secure. A fantastic choice for families and for those looking for something that combines the service of a hotel with the convenience of a home.
