We made a last-minute decision to stay in the Villas at Apoyo on our way to Granada. It's fairly hidden, so we were glad to have taken a taxi, rather than attempting to drive and find it ourselves. While a bit remote, with not a lot of dining options, it was a great location to simply relax or hike around... More

We stayed at the villas at apoyo for 3 nights in feb of 2013. The staff were extremely helpful. Anytime we needed a cab they provided one for our daily adventures. Everyone was very friendly from the front desk to the restaurant staff to all the helping hands. The cabins were very cozy and clean and large. We bought groceries... More

A quick shuttle to/from Granada, brings one to this slightly hidden oasis built into the side of the mountain jungle.

Upon arriving, we were met at the reception office by manager... More

My husband and I came here for a quiet retreat and it was the perfect place! It is peaceful and away from the busyness of Granada or Managua. We took advantage of the $49/night deal that have running and it was great. Everyone who works there is incredibly helpful and friendly. We are only taking one star away for the... More

Sorry but I have to disagree with most of the positive reviews of this place. It has some lovely features (which we enjoyed) but overall, I felt we'd been taken by the hype. The website makes it look and sound like a posh resort. We don't usually stay at places like this, typically preferring smaller, more midrange guesthouses, but we... More

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate your frank and honest comments. In regards to the lakefront area, restaurant and pool, this is not part of The Villas but is owned privately so we have no control over the condition. You are correct in stating that The Villas are in the process of being... More

The Villas at Apoyo were without a doubt, one of the best parts of our very first Nica trip. The Villas were exceptionally clean, very spacious, and the staff went above and beyond to provide world-class customer service.

This is a marvelous place, Apoyo lagoon that is. The Villas are up on the hillside above the lake, some have great view, some not. For a family who wants a place to settle, hang out, cook, it is a great deal. My girlfriend and I went on a whim and got a great, two bedroom villa near the restaurant,... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Villas at Apoyo, tucked unobtrusively in the hillside overlooking the Laguna, are some of the most unique hotel accommodations in Nicaragua. We offer 1, 2 and 3 bedroom villas and apartments, some with fully equipped kitchens, to accommodate whatever size of group you may have. The Villas are situated in the dry tropical forest of Nicaragua which is home to Howler monkeys and a variety of tropical birds.The Grill, a small restaurant at the upper pool, has a variety of fresh and healthy foods. Try the Nachos Grande or the Chinese Chicken Salad while enjoying a beautiful view of the laguna. New at The Villas at Apoyo is our 5-station, Low Ropes Challenge Course. The Challenge Course was built to encourage participants to grow at both the team and individual levels. Our Low Ropes course focuses on communication, problem solving, and leadership. Every member must participate in order to complete the five tasks, and in doing so, inspires confidence in each other. Our hopes are that these skills will be carried by the participants to be used in their daily lives. We also have a new Game Room near the pool area so our guests can emjoy a game of Billiards, Darts or enjoy one of our many boards games. For your convenience, food and beverage can be served from The Grill. A new addition to our services is a fully equipped convention center with seating of up to 150 persons. This is a great location for sales seminars, company meetings as well as social events. ... more   less
