Stayed two nights at Jicaro Island Ecolodge. There is something magical about this isleta, and the serenity, peace and wildlife that you can appreciate while there. The casitas are immaculate and well thought-out. Comfortable, yet with everything you need. My favorite moments were waking up early and having coffee on the casita balcony -- listening to the birds and watching... More

Truly extraordinary! And I am most certainly NOT "spa" sort of guy... I've been recommending this wonderful retreat to all my traveller friends. I really can't think of a single negative thing to say.... The food is fantastic, and I'm a very finicky vegetarian. I learned to make local cocktails at the bar and happily sucked down frilly foo foo... More

If you are ever visiting Granada Nicaragua, this is a must see!!!!!!!!!!Lake Nicaragua is the 9th largest lake in the world. Years ago the volcano caused 365 islands to form, on one of these islands lies the amazing ecolodge, Jicaro. Jicaro arranged to pick us up from our hotel in Granada and brought us to a boat which would take... More

Staying on an island on Lake Nicaragua was just so inviting for us! This was one of the most memorable experiences I have had. Beautiful hotel, food both in taste and presentation perfection. The staff so friendly and helpful. The rooms are to die for. Falling asleep with the lake breeze naturally cooling the room was just short of heaven.... More

I agree with all of the excellent reviews posted. First, the good stuff: The location is truly unique and peaceful. The design of the resort (just 9 rooms) is comfortable without disturbing the environment. The tree house villas have a small footprint and are built between the trees, so you can imagine that not many trees were chopped in order... More

We arrived from late-night travels and were greeted by a very friendly driver, who had brought us fresh, cool water for the ride to Grananda. Despite the late hour, we were handed onto a boat and driven through the shining moonlight on the black lake to the ecolodge - and it just kept getting better from there. The staff greeted... More

Normally I do not return to the same location, yet alone the same hotel, but Jicaro is a very special place. Set in an unbelievable location on an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. The staff is extraordinary from meeting you when you arrive, to serving you amazing food and arranging for your excursions off of the island. The... More

Jicaro lodge is an eco resort that has just nine 2 story casitas on a tiny island about 30 mins by boat from "downtown" granada. it the casitas are beautifully designed and very comfortable. they are quite close to one another but complete privacy is assured given the design of using slatted boards made from trees felled by Hurricane Mitch....
