Very lovely and inviting. The lake is perfect and magical. I loved the food as well!

This place was SO beautiful! Such an oasis with an amazing view and direct beach access. The floating dock and kayaks were really fun. It was a perfect place to bring my family, all the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The staff was exceptional and the food was AMAZING. I definitely will be coming back!

Great full breakfast. Really comfy bed. Friendly staff.

This place was a slice of paradise. Surrounded by trees and birds right on Laguna Apoyo. It was a hidden oasis. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was AMAZING! Plenty of places to relax with hammocks or have a drink. They had kayaks, inner tubes and even binoculars you could borrow. Upon arrival we received a complimentary drink and the prices were great (didn't try to overcharge drinks etc. like some places do). Had a wonderful massage right in my room. Our room also had a wonderful balcony where we enjoyed birding and just listening to the sounds of nature. We didn't want to leave and are already planning our return.

Nothing except that we couldn't stay longer.

Everything about Casa Marimba is a treat to the senses; the birds, the flowers, the water, the sheets (2 words=egyptian cotton🤗), the breezes in the afternoon, & the service! There is always that one person that makes you wonder if the owners know the unparalleled value this employee brings. At Casa Marimba it's Javier! If you've got the question, he's gonna bring you an answer, with a smile, quickly! Also front of house Hansel completely embraces the western travel ethic of excellence! Thank you🙏🏿 Now, most important...the food...HOLY COMIDA BATMAN😲. The doñas of the kitchen provide perfect portions (enough fries for each bite of burger😉), awesome presentations, and enough flavor pairing to keep you oh so happy! Not true what they say about too many chefs!! The fresh daily juices, the fragrant pressed coffee, the morning breads and OMG tiramisu👀! Yup! Full bar and attentive staff that seems to have a cohesive job description...JOY, with as much or as little interaction as you like. There are daytrippers on the weekend, but all well organized to avoid drama! Wifi is strong down to the water's edge, and accomodations are screened in to combat biters. Overall my best resort experience on 5 continents! Going back asap😉 🤗 p.s. L.A. artisan, craft, locally sourced, brick oven, blah blah $30 pizzas...shame on you😂

Suggestion: I believe a mechanism to enforce leash rules for day pass dog owners would be helpful. It's a bit short sighted to allow multiple dogs to run free in the midst of children. It's a bad combination with predictable risk exposure.

nice access to the lake, cute little seating corners with hammocks and chill areas

Staff was very friendly. Location was awesome, beautiful setting with beach and view. Could not be better. Food was good and we were very happy. Not a 5 star resort but a great place to stay with a killer view and location right on the lagoon. Swimming was amazing too! Warm water surrounded by trees mountains and crystal clear fresh water and very private. What else could you ask for!

We were very happy and have nothing negative to say! There is nothing worse than reading negative comments from spoiled people that expect a 5 star star for a 3 star price! This place was an awesome value for the money.

Our stay at Casa Marimba was just perfect! The service and employees are incredibly friendly and helpful. The space itself is super nice, relaxing and calming. The food was awesome. Also, we had lots of fun with the kayaks on the lake. All in all, a wonderful stay! We definitely recommend it!

The room was nice and exactly what we would have expected for a Nicaragua hotel room. The breakfast was awesome and the staff was very accomidating.

Nothing really. We were pretty happy. It would be nice to remove one of the trees for a nicer lake view from the room. (Room #4) but overall pretty great.

Lake views. swimming platform. multiple hammocks and hangout spaces around the property. vegan selections at Restuarant.

Popular with Managuans who pay the day use fee…so the available spaces for hanging out by the water can be unavailable unless you claim a spot early. Not awful, but it is not a big property.

the views, the design of the property it self is not just stunning, but it’s an oasis that transports you.

nada… loved it all.

The ambience of casa marimba is peaceful and cheerful. The staff were super friendly and had a high level of service, they even accommodated my requests for vegan versions of the menu. There is plenty of space to find a private hammock or bench, enjoying the jungle or the lake.

The room was big, well decorated and had ac. The staff was super friendly, attentive and accommodating.

The room was right at the entrance, near the check in area. I was hoping it would be with a view of the Laguna or some other area to see the natural beauty of the area.

Very relaxing, helpful staff, great food, quiet environment
