Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Rivas

We had a wonderful stay. A proper jungle experience, we even had a tarantula in the outdoor shower!

This stay was special in exactly the way we thought it would be. You’re sleeping right in the middle of the jungle, but protected with a net on the bed. You can hear all sorts of animals throughout the night and day which enhances your experience. The restaurant on the grounds is magnificent and has amazing food. Our host Megan was so supportive and proactive with our constant change in travel plans. She also helped setting up a guide to hike the volcano as well as took care of our ferry tickets to come in (we did ourselves for the way back due to last minute changes and it was a huge pain) Overall, if you’re looking to be immersed in nature on an island with several good restaurants and plenty of things to do. This stay is perfectly located for that and offers great value for the price.

This place is absolutely lovely Peaceful, helpful staff. The view is stunning The rooms are immaculate

Liked this place a lot. I got a private room here to take a short break from the crowded hostel life. The folks here were super chill and cool. The owner Johnny is awesome. Very chill guy and super flexible and good with communication. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful location with a fantastic view of the volcano. Nolver, who is one of the managers on site, was extremely helpful and efficient. We found a great restaurant within easy walking distance - but take a torch!! A very special place.

If your looking for an authentic experience this is it. We were hosted by Mama Rosario. She made an amazing dinner. I’ve been in Nicaragua and it was the best meal I’ve had to far. The dogs were friendly and super sweet. In the morning my two younger children helped collect eggs and played with Mamas sweet grand children. They really liked Mama and kept asking me, “how do you say, Can I help?” so they could help cook. Mamas breakfast was incredible as well. We would def stay here again. Thank you!!

I don’t even know where to start, this place may be mine & my partners favourite place we’ve ever stayed in 🥹. Beautiful, calm, peaceful… just, wonderful. Nolver & his team are fabulous and were so warm and welcoming when we arrived, Jonathan was also great with communication before we arrived! The bed is HUGE and so comfy, there’s no aircon but you don’t need it as the ceiling fan along with the open windows (with bug shields!) ensures the room stays the perfect temperature! The breakfasts are absolutely delicious, and you can enjoy on your own private porch where it is ready and waiting for you in the morning! Hot water!!! Which is an absolute luxury on the island! The room & bathroom are also beautifully decorated, which we loved! The garden is a beautiful oasis, we loved watching the monkeys in the afternoons, as well as the incredible view of the volcano 🌋🧡 10/10, can’t fault it at all - would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Chris and Beth’s spot is a gem. A perfect location to get away from the craziness and be surrounded by natural beauty. The location is perfect, about 15 minutes outside San Juan del Sur, giving you access to the town but also providing a quiet slice of paradise. The accommodations are terrific. The room is clean and comfortable. Chris and Beth are incredibly gracious hosts. The communication leading up to and throughout the trip was 10/10. Chris helped schedule a shuttle from the airport and was incredibly helpful making sure my day trip went off without a hitch. Beth was also incredibly kind and hospitable and cooked amazing food. I highly recommend spending some time here.

We had a great stay at the eco-lodge! The room was nice and the gardens are beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice! Santa Cruz is a lovely small town with everything needed. Would really recommend staying here. Staff super helpful with renting scooters and other information. Thank you!

As indicated in the description, Spike's place is more remote than other places and was a bit of a haul on the moto but it was worth it. The room was very comfortable, clean, with a great breeze at night. The only noise at night was the lapping of the waves of the lake and howler monkeys and roosters in the morning. It was not far to San Ramon to hike to the waterfall and the lakeside there was also nice for swimming. But the best part were Orli and Carla who were amazing hosts (Spike was away) and made great meals even given my daughter's dietary restrictions. They were very helpful for anything we needed and super friendly. We loved our relaxing week there.

A quick couple nights before my vacation ended and it was perfect. Directions were great since it’s off the main road and upon arrival did not disappoint. Amazing views with awesome landscape. This 1 bedroom is very spacious and comfortable. Very recommended for a relaxing chill place to stay in style with that upper class feel. Only thing to know is there’s no A/C, but it’s okay since the winds are strong each day/night and there’s a couple fans before the morning gets in the upper 70’s.

Chris is a wonderful host, very friendly, and makes you feel right at home. Their space is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, even better than the pictures!! The kitchen was awesome and very well equipped, we cooked most meals because it was so lovely. Playa Hermosa is a wonderful, close by beach that is very chill and has a great open-air restaurant. Highly recommend staying here for a peaceful refuge! We will be back!!

Probably best room we stayed at during our trip in Nicaragua. Room is big and well furnished. We enjoyed it. Nice view on the Vulcano from the garden. If there would be a pool in the garden, it would be 6/5. Be cautious with the street leading up to the house - I’d only recommend for experienced scooter drivers or ATVs. Taxi was fine.

I absolutely loved my stay here! You are truly out in the jungle, but still have great amenities. And the restaurant was delicious with stunning views.
