I´m travelling central américa since as a typically backpacker focused on diving spots.
For this year I´ve choosen Big Corn Island and before I started I went in touch with the
Dos Tiburones diving station which is connected with Roy´s cabins. They offered me a package with a good discount and so I setted out for the journey and at the end of the day I´ve got the best time I´ve ever had in the caribik.
Roy´s cabins are sophisticated constructed and located so that every time you see, hear and feel the blue sea. You get the morning sun into your cabin seeing far beyond Little Corn Island. Located uphill always you´ll get the ocean breeze so you don´t need moskito cape and in the morning fresh made black coffee is waiting. This time Shawn from South Africa was around for the managing, a great guy in every way, thanks for all! What I have to point out: the bathrooms are awesome! If you want to stay on the island & getting some for keeping in your memory you should go here.
And I hope one day I can return to this place.

We stayed 4 nights recently, and were very pleased with our choice of Los Escapados. We knew that we wanted to be in the Sallie Peachy area of Corn Island for the best snorkeling from shore. This place is within easy walking distance to several beaches, lots of restaurants, and is more relaxing than the Arenas beach area for instance. Not crowded or touristy at all, which is our preference.

The property itself is up a slight hill that one must climb and descend. Keep this in mind if you have large bags or any physical limitations, as taxis don't go up the hill. Not a problem for us, and the spot on the hillside provides both nice breezes off the Caribbean as well as nice views of the same.

We stayed in unit # 2, and it had an attached bathroom. Pretty limited space for storing anything, no small bedside tables, etc. However, the comfort level was better than many hotels in NIcaragua I'd say. The massive side windows and front door could be zipped wide open to allow loads of air flow, and we slept so well at night on the comfortable bed.

Drinks in the evening and breakfast/coffee each morning on the front deck was nice. However, once the sun got up a bit, the deck got very hot as there is not a shade cover.

Roy and Bertram were helpful when we needed anything, and our unit was cleaned daily. It's nice that they provide water to purchase in your refillable bottles to cut down on the amount of plastic trash generated on the island. (TIP: You need to have a water bottle before you get there, or buy one at a local store to reuse.)

We used the towels and beach chairs that are provided for guests to enjoy time at nearby beaches, which is a nice offering.

While Escapados may not be for everyone, there is a good argument to be made that this is the best place to stay on Big Corn. Sally Peachie IS the most beautiful part of the island. Here you get to see the most amazing hues of ocean turquoise, and there is always a wonderful breeze. Much hotter on the rest of the island and much more residential and commercial. Great places to eat are a 10-15 minute stroll in either direction.
The tent structures you sleep in are high end construction and Escapados is most assuredly not a funky ecolodge. In our month long travels through Nicaragua we have experienced the best sleep, not only due to the dreamy prevailing winds but because of the quality of the mattress and bedding. The large screens allow for the sea breeze to keep you very comfy without a/c, which was a concern for us. Spacious, immaculate bathroom detached from our tent but not an inconvenience.

The very “close to nature” feel of the cabins may be why they are not suited for everyone. If you are extremely out of condition the hike up the hill might be a challenge for you, as well.

Roy, the owner, has a rather exhaustive list of rules with the odd assurance in the manual that “we are watching you, even when you can’t see us”. We took a deep breath and kept an open mind and soon found Escapados to be just delightful. We visited a number of the higher end establishments on the island and were frankly not too impressed, but then, we love adventure and the unusual travel experience.

Big Corn island is like another world compared to the Nica mainland and to really get the feeling of this treasure in the Caribbean we highly recommend Roy’s quite special-Escapados.

Suggestions to bring: Bug spray for the evenings, flashlight, a few liters of water-although you can refill bottles here for a nominal cost, soap and shampoo. Roy includes One very fine cup of coffee per person with your room, but if you are an early riser you will need to wait until 7:30.
