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

with amny years of fishing and visiting several places arround north and south america, I can tell you that this place is excelent for good fishing, excelent hospitality and good food, plus a good after dinner songs. Im ready to go back this year and try to kill my last year record 5 tarpons over 70 kilos and I lost... More

Amazing ranch on pilotis with casual service, french cuisine with carabean flare, memorable night-long discussions with Philippe, on a stretch of river so rich in birds, fish, monkeys, flowers of al kind. 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. More

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

Stayed at La Esquina based on the great web site on the fishing, great food, rooms and eco lodge with walking trails etc. Most of this is inaccurate and I don't know how anyone would call this clean or value for the money. We could not walk anywhere off the dock as the water was to high and had been... More

Just like all others has stated. But by far this is a great place to stay even no hot water or fancy clean room but .we'd stayed in amazon river and the cost was way a lot more and talked about the clean room forget about it ..this place by far is still cleaner than in amazon and no night... More
