“In my opinion, this property is a hidden gem, accessible yet worlds away from the everyday. The staff's genuine warmth elevates the experience, while the restaurant stands out, particularly for its traditional Nicaraguan dishes and inventive cocktails. It seems ideal for couples seeking both escape and high-quality service.”
