The staff is highly skilled, on par with those at the finest properties worldwide. The careful attention to detail and the incredible fusion of local products into the gourmet menu give the property a distinctive and unique character.

This is the second time we stay at the hotel. We love how quite and close to the beach is. The restaurant is the best in the area, with variety of meals and drinks. Staff is super friendly and open to help.

Beautiful resort, lovely lodge, pristine bay. The only downsides were the very poor wifi signal in our two treehouse rooms, and the unpleasant - verging on surly - attitude of our receptionist, Haydee. She had a disinterested approach to our request to understand why the wifi didn't work, and then treated us like we were just a bother to her when we explained that our request had gone hours unaddressed. Turns out the router is not located well for the upper rooms, a fact quickly communicated by...

Before booking I read several negative reviews. My experience was much different. I found the staff to be friendly and kind (it sounds like most of the staff was replaced about a week or two before we got there). Food service is slower than food service in the US, but that is typical in Nicaragua and everything was fresh. The bungalows are fantastic and the private beach was incredible. I highly recommend this place.

Came here for a 8 day trip as a solo female with my 6 year old daughter. I was hesitant since Nicaragua has a Level 3 travel advisory but I felt extremely safe here. The staff went above and beyond any time we needed anything. Estavan, Tony, & Francesco were my absolute favorites. (Sorry if I misspelled) I wasn’t a fan of was having to let them know a day in advance if you wanted to use the shuttle to the beach or town. The rooms are also extremely humid no matter what you do.

Morgan's Rock is a wonderful place to get away from it all. You will need to take a two and a half taxi ride to the ecolodge but it is definitely worth it. Also note that Nicaragua is in the northern hemisphere, therefore their winter is our winter. I say this because the rainforest is a thorn forest dry and deciduous in the winter and spring until the rains. Because of this the howler monkeys are very easy to spot, as well as some of the other wildlife.

The place is beautiful, and the sights are amazing. I especially loved the incredible view of the volcano. However, what I didn’t like was the bathroom. The electrical box is placed in a location where, every time we take a shower, the handle gives us an electric shock. This is very concerning and should be addressed for the safety of the guests.
