그란 호텔 빅토리아

The hotel is in an excellent location on a beautiful square and close to the cathedral. The hotel is a real architectural pearl. If you want to enjoy comfort and luxury, then this place is for you. Delicious breakfast and friendly English speaking staff. There was even warm water. The only drawback was that there was no glass in the room. In tropical climates, where liquids must be taken continuously, a glass is extremely important.

Hand a great experience at the hotel… Staff was friendly and food was delicious. Hawaiian pizza is second to none… The authentic Nicaraguan food and natural juices were amazing. The days in Rivas are hot so having powerful ACs in the room helped provide comfort. The pool provides just enough sun and enough shade when needed. Location is the key as you are close by to venture off whichever activity or trip you have in mind…

Very clean and beautiful place. The staff, including the manager, Fabian, went above and beyond for us as we left our bag at the front desk when we checked out and he took it to Cargotrans and had them deliver it to us.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise (as was Rivas). Right on the main square, it is really pleasant and upscale (for me, at least). The photo here is accurate--a pool cuts through the narrow lobby. Rooms are clean with high ceilings. Staff was very friendly. There is a complimentary breakfast (though you will pay for additional items beyond the basic menu). Walk out on the roof (second floor, to the front). As a historian, I have to point out that the area right in front of you was the scene of a fierce battle, mainly between Costa Ricans and William Walker's filibustering Americans, in the 1850s. The townsfolk are very pleasant here, because they do not see that many foreigners or tourists. A better stay to be had at this hotel and town--in my evaluation--than in San Juan del Sur (which is just a 30-minute bus ride away).
