Hacienda Puerta Del Cielo Ecolodge & Spa

We loved the expansive and remote location and our Casita was entirely comfortable. I especially loved the beds and soft pillows which ensured a good night's rest. The staff was awesome seeing to our every need and cooking homemade meals for us. Truly loved the entire layout and comfort. I will definitely be returning.

Loved the place, but I want to be clear that this is a remote location that takes some doing to reach-Google maps can lead you wrong, so either have the Hacienda staff come and get you, or hire a taxi whose driver is willing to talk to locals to get you the last few kilometers. We did the latter, and it worked well. The property is beautiful, overlooks a lake, has a pool, and plenty of hammocks, and has an open air bar where guests hang out and chat with each other before the family style meals. We were really comfortable and relaxed while we were there, and enjoyed the excursion to the volcano and dinner out that the hotel set up for us and other guests.

Really don't have anything bad to say about this place, but there were normal inconveniences of a small boutique hotel in a remote location in Nicaragua: We needed a few water bottles in our room after we arrived back at the hotel after the excursion, but the bar had closed, so we made due til the morning, and we weren't able to get a massage because we looked into it too late, and she had booked up. These are small things that didn't have a big impact on our overall enjoyment, but something to keep in mind for future guests: make sure to book your excursions beforehand and stock up on water when the bar is open!
