Aqua Nicaragua

DO NOT BOOK HERE! The hotel is closed. I was looking for a hotel to stay in, this came up as an option. I booked it and thought all was great. I drove 3 hours only to find out when upon arriving they are no longer in business. The hotel was either sold or I'm not certain what happened, but I had to drive around to find something else.

Cannot ask for more. 100% worth the trek. We always have a fabulous time here! Beautiful tree houses with spa, comfortable beds, clean, amazing views, private beach, and delicious food. Every time we stay we are able to experience different animals - a special treat! This time we saw baby turtles, howler monkeys, and beautiful birds. Will be coming back again.

Construction started before 7. Excavator moving rocks near my place, people hammering near my friends place. Shower didn’t work - hole shooting water out the side. Coffee maker didn’t work - piece missing from the pot. Would have asked for a fix but office is way too far to make the trip. Not worth the money…

The location can't be beat. The private beach and surrounding area is so beautiful and tranquil. Our unit was very private (which we lucked out on - not all units are as secluded as ours) and the view was breathtaking. One pathway down to beach was under construction and felt a bit unsafe to walk on, especially at night. Probably should have just closed it and made everyone use other path. Website says free complementary yoga classes but those were not available when we were there (early Nov) only had private classes for $65. The yoga platform was also under construction but luckily they still made it available for me to use twice a day. It was the most beautiful location I have ever practiced at so I was really appreciative they allowed me to still use it! Free yoga mat rental so that was nice as well. Also surprised more staff did not speak English. Overall I think they have some room for improvement especially if advertising as a luxury accommodation. Highlight was seeing baby sea turtles hatch and go out to sea!! it was magical! Regardless of some of my critiques we would stay again.

Aqua is in one of the most magical spots you can find. Thos was our second visit. We absolutely loved our one bedroom tree house with a pool. The monkeys came every morning to visit and the staff is super nice. The beach is absolutely spectacular and we had it to ourselves most if the time. If you want peace and quiet and nature, this is the place to be! The breakfast that was included was good and the drinks are super yummy. We were disappointed in dinner but the town of Gigante is a 7 minute drive and has lots of yummy options.

I stayed at the luxury treehouse villa and must say it was exactly as pictured. The treehouses are nestled between the trees with enough space between the other villas so you’re given an adequate amount of privacy. If you’re a nature lover like myself this is Resort for you. I had some minor issues with the Wi-Fi when I arrived but they quickly came and fixed it. That’s one thing that stood out the most for me was how quickly and efficiently they solved whatever minor issues arouse during our stay. The staff was super friendly and amazing helpful however not too many spoke English but that just made me practice my Spanish even more 😊. Please note the reviews about the stairs are True!! Those stairs are not for weak and the fact that beach bar which is the only restaurant on site is at the bottom of those stairs means you have to travel up and down the stairs multiple times during the day. So be prepared for nice workout. I only had one issue with my stay was that the breakfast included that was advertised only applies to two menu items and not the entire breakfast menu. I think this should be better stated on booking website and customers should be aware that. Overall I really enjoyed my stay at Aqua oceanfront Resort and have already recommended it to some friends looking to visit Nicaragua soon.
