+Nicholas was absolutely amazing. He was so helpful and kind. He organised a car for us to get from Granada to the Lodge, as well as activities to do on the days we were there. He even ordered in vegetarian food for me and gave us a lift to a neighbouring town to meet our friends.
−There was nothing we did not like.

“Une nuit suffit”
+Bel accueil du propriétaire. L’endroit est merveilleux et propre. L’excursion de soir était très intéressante.
−La nourriture au restaurant laisse à désirer. Mon filet de porc était trop cuit, sans saveur et aucune sauce pour rehausser le tout. Les légumes mous ultra trop cuit et sans saveur. Les patates ok sans plus. Je suggère les Quesadillas de mes enfants qui étaient correct. Je trouve inconcevable que l’on me serve du café “instant” dans un pays producteur comme le Nicaragua, ça démontre la qualité du restaurant… On nous dit d’économiser l’eau à notre arrivée alors qu’il y a une toilette “standard” de 6 litres dans la chambre et un robinet chambranlant qui coule… Aucun système éco-responsable. Aucun ventilateur dans la chambre.

+Bungalows are located in the jungle with plenty of wildlife around. Room was comfortable and clean. Host is helpful.
−Bungalow did not have fan and it gets hot in the jungle. There was no socket next to bed, only in the bathroom. Breakfast was limited to one option: gallo pinto, one scramble egg and two slices of probably beacon, coffee, juice and fruits. I guess having few more options would be nice. Breakfast was definitely needs improvement. Lunch and dinner menu was tasty freshly cooked.

“Very relaxing in a natural setting with plenty of amenities for comfort”
+Very accommodating and responsive owner and staff. Very comfy beds. Great venue with wildlife all around - monkeys and birds. Lots of short trails to enjoy. A night walk with a staff member to see sleeping wildlife like birds, sloths, lizards and spiders. Meals were very hearty and tasty. Both meat and vegan options. Breakfast was huge and delicious! Beautiful breeze was refreshing, keeping us cool. Easy access to WIFI in common area. Not too many cabins so you get to know some of the other occupants and share stories. Access to cards and table games in the bar area. Loved listening to the natural wildlife sounds at night and early morning. The owner provides transport on the mountain in his 4- wheel drive if you need it. Also he can send a driver to pick you up and take you back to your hotel.
−The water pressure was minimal at certain times of day - thus difficult to rinse shampoo out of one's hair. This is understandable given that the location is off the grid so all water has to be hauled in.

“Not to be missed--the Mambacho Lodge is a hidden gem in the heart of the Mambacho Cloud Forest.”
+An absolutely beautiful stay in the heart of the Mombacho cloud forest, on the Mombacho Volcano's lower hillside. Howler monkeys, sloths, butterflies and tropical birds are abundant around the lodge. The tall tree-platform is a special lookout over the canopy. Don't miss the night wildlife walk!
−This is a remote location, and considering that, the facilities are wonderful. Our cabin did not have AC or hot water, which we were prepared for, but it would not be for everyone.

“This property is situated in the middle of remnant dry rainforest on the slopes of Volcan Mombacho, in what we learnt wa”
+Beautiful bungalow accomodation that’s rustic but comfortable and charming on a beautiful property. The staff are really attentive and helpful, any time there is an animal sighting (ie Sloth) they will let the guests know so they can view. The people running the kitchen do a terrific job, the kitchen/communal area is great. They offer transport to/from the bus station on the main road at either end of your stay, where there are regular buses to Granada. We enjoyed only having wifi at the kitchen (no internet in the rooms) to be able to ‘tune out’, but definitely something to note if you feel you need internet. The food was on the expensive side for Nicuagua but great breakfast and dinner options (vegetarian options included) and great flexibility when to eat. Great location for going to the Butterfly reserve, zip lining tours or walking up Volcan Mombacho (which is what we did). They can organise transport to the top for guests too. Staying at the lodge definitely makes a visit to Volcan Mombacho more inexpensive and logistically easier. The trails within the lodge and the treetop viewing platform are really cool. There’s many Howler Monkeys and a few resident sloths that are often
−Prices are a little expensive for Nicuagua but for us it was a worthy trade off for a unique travelling experience. If you’re on a tight budget stay in Granada.
