Our airy and spacious room overlooking the crater lake was complemented by a lovely balcony which , because of the slope, made us feel that we were in the treetops - quite lovely and shady. The staff was very helpful and professional. Although i had known beforehand that we would be somewhat isolated, I had expected more of a resort... More

The location is beautiful at the crater lake but because of the location sun will disappear in the afternoon. Villas are spacious and clean, but a big climb from the reception to your room/restaurant and pool. (but to be fair they offer free transportation which comes in very handy!) The staff is very very friendly and service oriented, the restaurant... More

This place should not be missed.. the views are amazing and you have feeling of truly being away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The staff is really good and attended to every detail. The food was very good. The laguna should not be missed. More

Wow the customer service at this place is amazing..everyone is so nice and engaging. The customer service at this resort is on par with Disney, even the grounds staff stop what they are doing to smile and say hello. We stayed only 3 nights but could have stayed even longer if time would have allowed. The view is amazing and... More

My wife and I were looking for something different and get disconnected from the noise of the cities. We found Norome and since we went into the lobby we knew this was exaclty what we were looking. Great service, excellent food, good privacy and the view of the "Laguna" from the swimming pool. It is excellent and relaxing. I recomend... More

Hi! All the teachers at Pierre and Marie Curie Universal School were invited to participate in a back-to-school camping trip just for teachers. We were located in 3 luxury villas at the entrance, 8 teachers at each Villa. It was a wonderful experience! The Villas are HUGE, the kitchen has everything. We made our own carne asada, while the music... More

Our party of 4 adults and 3 teenagers enjoyed our 2 nights at this great place very much. We had a big, lovely, comfortable villa at the very top of the resort. The top part of the resort has a lovely little pool with the most amazingly beautiful view of the lake down below. The flora and the fauna surrounding... More

The Villas are a great destination for adventure travelers. The villas are positioned in a rain forest on a beautiful volcanic lake. You wake up to monkeys howling in the trees and to the sun rising over the laguna! You can hike from here to Caterina or do day trips and come back and enjoy a dip in the lake.... More

The Villas at Apoyo is a hidden gem of Nicaragua, just 15 minutes away from the oldest colonial city of Central America, Granada, Nicaragua. The Villas at Apoyo won't fail to impress you in the most natural of ways. I can't wait to go back and visit The Villas at Apoyo and get away from it all. Surprisingly, many are... More

The Laguna de Apoyo has to be one of the most spectacular places in all of Nicaragua and your appreciation of it is of course,, deeply appreciated! Our resort has gone through some incredible changes over the last few years. From its inaugural opening in 2006 until the closure in July, 2008 only two short years later, the hotel was... More

What a surprise, in the middle of nowhere we found ourselves a little jewel! Our villas were truly on a mountainside with the most amazing views. The lake was magic and you could pick up pumice stones right on the beach. There were 8 of us traveling Nicaragua and this is one stop that gave us time to decompress, enjoy... More
