호텔 루나 델 리오(Ecolodge Luna del Rio)

From the moment we arrived at the small port to our departure we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.Margarita and her husband Manuel could not have done more for us. The rooms are compact but clean and comfortable and the balcony a haven to sit and watch the river and bird life. Breakfast and dinner were provided and even a lengthy power cut were dealt with as they have a generator. The trips we took were memorable and arranged with quiet efficiency. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay in your wonderfully unspoilt special place in Nicaragua

Beautiful rooms, fabulous host, delicious and plentiful breakfast. Marga connected us with an incredible adventure on the Indio Maiz reserve with Camping Tours Indio Maiz that was next level for birds, wildlife, plants and cultural experiences.

Margarita and Manuel looked after us so well in their hotel, which is practically a ‘Homestay’ - with delicious home cooking, amazing service and genuine friendliness. El Castillo is on the Rio San Juan, which is its only way of access. We came downriver from San Carlos and entered another world - one which we’ll never forget! Their is plenty to do in the area - visiting the Castle itself, walking around the village, visiting the local Cocoa processing Co-Operative and tasting the fabulous chocolate and hot chocolate at Danny’s Cafe at the harbour. We loved our stay in Nicaragua, but El Castillo, and particularly Hotel Luna Del Rio, was our favourite part…

I had a wonderful time at Luna del Rio. everyone was so caring, that i felt totally welcomed all time. The rooms are small, but really nice and clean. Perfect breakfast with view over the Rio. They helped me arranging activities and gave good recommendations. I would come back any time. Muchas Gracias a Marga & co.

We didn’t stay at the hotel, but Celia organized an unforgettable overnight tour into the Indio Maiz for us. Our guides Dennis and Priscilla and their family provided us with food, laughter, an expert eye at locating wildlife and knowledge into the jungles ecosystem. Celia was also very helpful in arranging our boat and bus travel back to Managua. She even checked in with us to make sure we made it. I would recommend the tour to everyone. Gracias por todo!

The hotel is located right in the center of the village and everything seems new. The rooms are super clean and look nice, everything being made of wood - and the shower even has warm water. But what I liked best was the super kind service of Marga and her team. They even organized boat tickets from San Carlos for us in advance. We also booked a tour with the hotel, staying one night in with a family and exploring the Indio Maíz. The tour was nice and enjoyable, with it being a great experience learning how to make chocolate and seeing how a family lives. We also had quite a lot of down-time, so if you are looking for an intense hiking or kayaking adventure, then I would suggest a different type of tour.

Fantastic hotel overviewing the river, giving you a bella vista every time of the day. Rooms are a bit cramped, but its hygiene, bella vistas, location, excellent big breakfasts and especially the staff makes you love it all!

Die Lage direkt am Fluss ist phantastisch. Unser Zimmer hatte einen Balkon direkt neben den Stromschnellen. Das Zimmer hat eine Klimaanlage, auch das heiße Wasser funktionierte immer. Am besten gefallen hat uns die freundliche Art von Margarita, sie spricht hervorragend Englisch und hat uns bei allem geholfen. Sie hat sogar ihr privates WLAN mit uns geteilt. Wir konnten direkt bei ihr zwei tolle Touren buchen und sie hat auch unsere Weiterfahrt nach San Carlos und nach Granada organisiert. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür!

Nous avons été en famille passer quelques jours dans le charmant village de El Castillo. Quelle belle surprise d avoir trouvé l hôtel « la Luna del Rio ». Nous avons été accueilli comme à la maison. L hôtel est vraiment charmant en bois qui surplombe la rivière pour se réveiller sur une vue magnifique avec un bon petit déjeuner. les chambres d un grand confort avec eau chaude et d une propreté impeccable. Manuel et Margarita sont adorables ainsi que leurs enfants. Ils sont aux petits soins, vous donnent tous les bons conseils et vous proposent également des excursions juste magiques pour découvrir le Rio San juan et la réserve avec des communautés dans un esprit de découverte et préservation. Nous avons vécu grâce à eux un de nos plus beaux moments au Nicaragua. À faire absolument ! Nous recommandons à 100 %
