This is one of the last places along the road so if you're looking for a peaceful and quiet spot this is it. The hut we stayed in had character, an outside shower/bathroom and a nice private patio. The lake is incredible, it is naturally warm and the owner has kayaks you can take out. Overall, this is a great... More

My husband and I had a fantastic 4 night stay at San Simian resort in February. After spending 2 weeks in busy San Juan Del Sur, this place was heaven. From SJDS, we took a shuttle to Granada, where the owner, Daniel, arranged a taxi to pick us up and bring us to San Simian. The ride from Granada was... More

We stayed at San Simian Lodge for three nights at the end of January. What a great way to start our vacation! We stayed in the cabin down by the lake (Sandia). It has a great view of the lake and two comfortable beds with an outdoor shower and toilet. The gardens are lush and staff are very friendly and... More

We really loved these bungalows with palm-leef roof, natural materials, huge "open" windows with lagoon sight. The private toilet and and shower are outside, in beautiful corner filled up with flowers and plants. Wonderful and romantic place to relax and have some water-sport. The dinner wasn't bad but could be improved. More

As others have written, San Simian is a place of beauty. The setting is perfect - six cabins nestled near the shore of Laguna de Apoyo, a small crater-formed lake which is as beautiful as one could imagine. We stayed here two nights and wished it could have been one week. It is the perfect place for relaxation, a place... More

San Simiam Eco- Lodge on the shores of Laguna De Apoyo is wonderful!. I have been coming to Nicragua for years and have stayed at various places around the Laguna and this is my favorite. The new owner since December 2012, Daniel, is a kind man with a desire to make the palce a great experience. The bungalows are modest,... More

We stayed here in February 2012 and loved the place. Daniel, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. The cananas are beautiful! Great swimming spot! Loved the outdoor showers. One of the highlights of our stay in Nicaragua. More

San Simian was the first place we stayed in Nica and it was a great way to start the trip! Everyone was so welcoming, and even strangers were immediately like old friends. The way the place is set up is inviting as well. The main lodge where the owners live is also where you eat your meals and get a... More

I stayed here in January 2012 and fell in love with it. If you are looking for a quiet, private get-away, this is the idea spot. There are five or six huts set on a treed slope down to the lake. I can't say enough about how relaxing and pleasant the accommodations are. The owner, who I believe purchased the... More
