We chose to stay at La Bocona because the pictures online showed a stunning, unique property with charm and classic style. Our expectations were high - and were completely blown out of the water when we arrived. The hotel is GORGEOUS in every way; the room was the nicest I have ever stayed in (anywhere) and the central courtyard was... More

There are few hotels I spend time scheming ways about how soon I can return to them. But then, there are few hotels staffed by such a loving and magnificent a staff, set in as gorgeous environment. The hotel staff creates an atmosphere that, in the most professional way possible, is more like a family than a staff. The women... More

Wow. We knew the hotel would be lovely from the pictures and reviews, yet it exceeded our expectations. We booked six nights here and were initially interested in going to the beach so we could see the Pacific side too. We ended up staying in Granada and doing closer day trips, partly because we fell in love with the hotel... More

I have stayed here many times and its always a pleasure. We usually spend one or two nights here when we are on our way to SJDS from Managua and have a late flight getting into MGA or an early flight out. The hotel is beautiful, each room lovelier than the next. The beds are amazing and have fantastic sheets.... More

All of the other reviews on this website rave about the beauty of this fabulous palace in the heart of a beautiful city-and they are right!

I was originally booked to spend 3 nights at la Bocona, but ended up adding an extra night (I would happily move in permanently if they would let me...). The rave reviews you've already read are not hyperbole: this ranks amongst the most unforgettable hotels I have ever stayed in. I love the location because it's neither too close nor... More

I have rarely seen a hotel with more spectacular rooms: they are the size of small ballrooms, beautifully decorated with four-post beds, nice artwork and beautifully tiled. Absolutely amazing, The inner patio is a heaven of peace and quiet. The staff is polite, attentive, well trained and extremely quiet. The management is customer minded and super friendly.

Gorgeous hotel in the center of Granada. Beautiful courtyards, nice pool, and yummy breakfasts. The staff were amazing - attentive, welcoming and helpful. My young kids loved the pool. My only complaint would be the noise from the street, but it is also part of the overall experience. More

Thank you for your review. The concept of our Hotel is to offer excellent, personal service in the authentic, luxurious, relaxing atmosphere of our historic colonial mansion and to couple it with delicious cuisine.
