Our Nicaraguan French cuisine is fresh, healthy and prepared from locally sourced foods. Our staff embodies the simple and attentive approach and will welcome you with gratitude.
Beautiful tropical paradise on the shores of stunning Laguna de Apoyo. The restaurant features mediterranean-nica fusion cuisine with locally sourced, organic, seasonal produce. Vegetarian/vegan options include lasagna, pasta, pizza, musaka, hummus plate, veggie burger, vegan omelette and pancakes, smoothie bowls, super food smoothies, home made focaccia bread and kombucha. Get a day pass for only 5$ (includes a drink) and you can use the kayaks, swimming tubes and playa and eat your way through that delicious menu. They have great cocktails too and the location is just breath taking. If you decide to stay a couple of days like me, check out their rooms, who are great too. And at night you will hear the howler monkeys and some tropical birds.

Located on the shore of beautiful Apoyo lake, Casa Marimba is THE place to stay and chill for a couple of days. The staff and owners were very nice. We chose room #4 which is spacious and has a great balcony with a stunning view of the lake and volcano. All rooms have fans and a/c as well as comfortable beds. The food is mostly vegetarian but also has meat on the menu. Breakfast sweet or salted is included. Food and atmosphere are great. You can also enjoy the place on a one day basis for 5USD which is popular with the backpakers of the surrounding hostels. The dining area has 2 tables and a six stools counter. The hotel has 6 rooms. The place can be easily crowded at meal time! Kayaks are available. The lake is great for swimming. All areas of the hotel are very clean and nicely decorated. Be careful with the uneven stairways! On an overall basis we enjoyed our stay and recommend Casa Marimba!

The place is charming and very well maintained, food is good and service excellent!! **The only thing I would recommend is to ask for a room on 2nd floor or with no one on top of you. The rooms are very nice but not at all isolated which made it very hard to sleep when other clients were even just walking around. We had room #3 also named Tilcara

I visited Nicaragua to go birdwatching. I selected Casa Marimba because it is an eco-lodge in a beautiful lake setting. One of the value added services was I asked for a recommendation for a birding guide and Casa Marimba referred Alex Acosta. Alex took me to several different habitats and we saw a lot of the local birds. Alex exceeded my expectations and is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Sometimes you don't know exactly what you're going to get when you travel, but this time the Casa Marimba and Alex Acosta combination was a winner. I highly recommend.

we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Marimba. The food served was excellent and the staff really was responsive to every need. It sits on a volcanic lake that is beautiful and great to swim in and there are many places to hang out at the resort and take in the beautiful views. Our only complaint is that the the hotel needs to install rugs on the top floors so you do not hear all the people walking above you. Also, if you will stay in the room with the veranda on the first floor, you will hear the noise from the reception next door. We hear there are plans to address this but it was a problem during our stay and kept us from giving this place a perfect score.

Im yoga teacher traveling thru Latin America looking for places to host my next yoga retreat.
I stumbled upon this hidden gem in lago de Apopyo. The property is intimate with a great staff & relaxed vibe.
The food options are perfect for flexitarians & desert lovers. My favorite thing was the calala torte that I devoured before I could get a photo. I did slow down to capture this meal of tostones mixto.
Definitely recommend this as a spot for couples, retreat groups, familys, or solo travelers needing some R&R.
Looking forward to coming back with my group!!

This cute place is absolutely beautiful! Located directly next to the lake, with amazing views from the rooms and the restaurant in the middle of pure nature. The food is amazing as well. I tried the vegan burger, which was fantastic! Order it and you won’t regret it! Also the stuff is super nice! Thanks to everyone!

We came here for a day pass from Granada! We had a wonderful day at Casa Marimba. The food was ok, not great. There was a bit of confusion over if you had a space on "reserved" for the day pass or if it was a free-for-all. The beach is a bit rocky, but the lake is divine. It was very quiet and relaxing, which was great for us!! Highly recommend for a day pass.
