This is a fishing lodge and if you go there with that in mind you will likely be very satisfied with your choice. The lodge offers nice rooms with great beds and the highest quality towels and sheets. There are a couple of thrashed roofed cabins that are much more rustic. These seem to used as overflow when everything else... More

The lodge has basic facilities: clean rooms, comfortable beds, private bathrooms with running water, and friendly personnel. Don't expect room service or a reception desk, if you need something just ask. The main attractions are it's location, at the border of the Nicaragua lake, it's french cuisine and Philippe, the owner and fisherman of long experience. The lodge is perfect... More

Dont expect a 5 star hotel. Although the hotel is not super clean or organized (common in Nicaragua), the owner, Philly, the owner -french from origin- his son, and the crew will make you feel at home. Beware that there might not be many guests, and if there are you might not see them because they are out fishing. You... More

A real experience of the Nicaragua. We went for tarpons fishing and stayed a week. We ate amazing food. Discover San Carlos with our guides, from the inside... More

I traveled here from Costa Rica to fish the nearby Solentiname Islands. I was pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and food at the lodge and the quality of the guides. Phillipe is a great host. Do not expect five star accommodations since it offers simple but adequate accommodations. They have been working on some private bungalows that I expect to... More

We booked a flight to San Carlos on a Sunday and only realised afterwards that there was no river transport that day after our flight arrived. After reading what the guide books and many people online have to say about San Carlos we were cursing our stupidity until we found this place. On arrival at the airport we were met... More

a paradise of fishing, if you love being in touch with nature, the sunset with many colors. sunrises that make you sigh with its splendor. You have to visit.

This lodge is overpriced for what it offers. Cleanliness is a problem with 4 dogs peeing and pooping in eating and sitting area. Bedding was questionable, we've stayed in one star hotels throughout Belize and Nicaragua which were by far cleaner. I deliberatly left the bed unmade when we took an overnight trip down river only to find the room... More
