El Respiro Ecolodge

"This was the perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy nature while still being close to Mombacho and not far from Granada. The building was extremely modern and well decorated, with very quirky touches like the outside shower. We loved the living area with beautiful views each side to admire the sunset and sunrise. The free tea and coffee was appreciated. The hammocks were lovely to lie and enjoy the peace and nature. Nice pool area. We arrived fairly late and hadn't eaten and they arranged food to be bought to us which was very tasty (there isn't anywhere particularly close to get food). The breakfast changed the 2 mornings we were there and were both lovely. Very comfortable bed. Good WiFi. Hot shower. We were woken early one morning by the howler monkeys and found a troop of them beside the property which was fun to watch."

"The road up to the accommodation is dirt track for some of it, but we managed it in our standard hire car ok."

"Hands down one of the nicest places we stayed in 4 months traveling in Central America. The main house is in a gorgeous setting with views in all directions, of greenery, the volcano and the lake beyond. The room is big and comfortable and naturally well ventilated. One of very few places which actually had enough storage space! I loved the outdoor shower. The common areas are fantastic, and would have plenty of space to cook and eat for a big group. The pool is wonderful and the hammocks and multiple terraces are perfect for lounging day and night."

"You probably need a 4x4 to access the property, but that is a good thing to have anyway to explore the region. Breakfast was tasty but we were not given any choices or information of what we are going to have, which would be nice to express preferences or dietary restrictions. Besides breakfast, it works more like an Airbnb (fine, just be aware of it). Some things need upkeep (the wooden slats in the rooms and the pool loungers for example). The place recently changed ownership, so I hope they keep it up and improve it!"

"Hidden gem for Deep relaxation and tranquility and at the same time for fantastic Day Tours to Volcanoes Masaya, Mombacho, Granada, Isletas - reason why we booked another two nites. Relaxed on the terrace + poolside with incredible views, had this amazing breakfast prepared and served by Henry and enjoyed every detail of the stylish house . Could not have been better!😍"

"This place felt like heaven on earth! It's extremely clean and so peacefull. We are already planning on comming back!"

"The path from the main road to the home was doubtfull the first time but once you get up on the hill you can't beleive your eyes. Amazing"

"Staying here was one of the best decisions of my Nicaragua trip, such a tranquil base to explore Granada and nearby Mombacho Volcano from. Loved sitting on the terrace reading, and relaxing by the pool."

"We loved our stay and have never felt so relaxed! We’d booked a deluxe double room, but as they had a retreat on, we were given the ‘casita’ which was very private and spacious! Our private terrace had an incredibly comfy seating area overlooking the jungle and volcano which was really special. We’d opted for dinner both nights we stayed and it was delicious and very generous in portion size! The breakfasts were also delightful. The staff were amazing, we had our food brought to us at the agreed times and the staff were always on hand to help us when needed. We were lucky enough to see some amazing bird life, and also had howler monkeys in the trees next to the terrace on our last morning there which was amazing!"

"Due to its pretty remote location, it would be good if the property could offer drinks and lunch - even a stocked but chargeable fridge for drinks would be helpful, as Granada is still a 20 minute taxi ride away. We had quite a few power cuts during our stay, though again the staff were amazing about this. Being from the UK, we’re not massively accustomed to creepy crawlies so this took some getting used to - especially the whip spiders/whip scorpions in the casita, though we were reassured by the staff that these are not in anyway dangerous."

"Off the beaten track, but set in the most incredible position in the midst of nature (including howlers monkeys!) and with fabulous views. Food was superb and everyone was very friendly"

"the lodge is absolutely stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace over the volcano and it's beautifully designed. It's very quite and remote which I loved. The only thing was that there was no food available because the cook was on vacation and I didn't bring any food to cook myself. But the staff was very helpful and organised a shuttle to a restaurant close by. I had a fantastic time."
