We stayed for 4 days and had a great time. The rooms are HUGE and the outdoor seating is delightful. The artwork gracing the walls is inspiring. The breakfast was delicious (jamon crepes w/ gallo pinto!) It's very centrally located so you can walk all over the city. We were there during holy week and got to see a few... More

While reviews were generally positive, there was such review scatter I had to see for myself. My heart sank a little during the check-in when the receptionist eyed the Nicaraguan gentleman I had in tow suspiciously. He relaxed somewhat gradually when I let him know it was my fabulous driver, headed back to Managua for the night. I'm wondering if... More

I spent a week staying at Hotel La Bocona this past July (2012) and it ended with my sister's wedding ceremony in the garden and reception by the pool. We're not Nicaraguan, we are Americans from the East Coast. It was the most fun wedding I have ever been to. First let me state why staying here is a great... More

We stayed at three hotels in Granada and this was my least favorite. It is far away from the center of town, not a long distance by any means but in comparison to other hotels in the city, this is not the most centrally located. Given that there are tons of options in better locations for better prices, that is... More

I suspect many of these reviews have been paid for. When my wife and I checked in, we were shown around and greeted with a smile. What we found later, was that our friend was denied access to the bathroom. My wife and I have no tolerance for discrimination and only stayed one night of our 3 night reservation. It... More

This is the PERFECT place to stay in Granada!! It is close enough to all the action like the cathedral and the lake, that is is easy to get around but a little bit out of the way so that you are not kept up at night by noise. The food is AMAZING (see pictures). The staff is SUPER friendly... More

This hotel is so unique and so cool. My hosts at the hotel were nothing short of perfect. They were so helpful and friendly. Yes, it's true that some of the staff don't speak English.

I think your comments really help the reader to view La Bocona, Granada and Nicaragua with a realistic perspective. The beauty is that what is on offer is an authentic, almost untouched cultural experience that is not available at most vacation hotspots around the world. Thank you so much for your time to review.
