stay elswhere for cheaper than this rundown resort
Run down property without proper management. The restaurant on the hill eith the view did not work. They wanted us to pay extra for a kayak rental ($5 for 30mins!!!) while all the surrounding properties charge a daily beach access that covers a lot of things including kayaks for like $6-7.The stuff at the reception did not know or were not helpfull with the information about the region. They advertise diving in the lake on their web site but when we asked the guy at the reception it was like news to him that there is diving in the lake and he was not helpful. Their map shows some hiking trails but whwn we asked them for more information again they just said that there is no trail. The included breakfast quality was below average. So our last day we spent at the Paradiso hostel as they had sups for rent and good food and drinks.

The hotel was almost empty, it's quite run down. Dogs roaming around. Cats too. Fleas in the room. Terrible communication. Told breakfast was in a restaurant that's closed. Other restaurants close at 6 pm. Didn't find out from staff until too late. A couple of staff were good. Security and Pizza restaurant.

Great getaway!
This was a great place for my wife and I to start our vacation. We had a standard apartment, which allowed us to have groceries of our own, and cook when we wanted to. Otherwise, the included breakfast, and other meals and available drinks were great. The pool, lake, and other amenities gave us many options for things to do. The hammock and rocking chairs on our private balcony, were perfect when we wanted to do nothing. We took a short taxi ride to Granada one day, which we really enjoyed. Can't wait for us to go back, (with or without the kids).

We were told when we booked that it had a kitchen and a yv. When we got there it not only didn’t have those it also did not have a blanket. We also never got our room cleaned while we were there and they do not supply water even though you can’t brush your teeth with the water there. Never are supper there because the restaurant closed at six and the pizza restaurant never opened while we were there’s

Apoyo lake resort
A great location on the edge of the lake and easy travelling distance to Managua, Masaya and Granada. Rooms with lake views are fantastic. 3 food options in the resort all good quality if quite basic. A great value holiday hotel. Not suitable for those with limited walking ability as it is set on a steep cobbled path

Hotel stay
My partner & I stay at this resort was perfect. It is quite an experience and a different one as well. It has the best view out of all hotels, and the convenience of the Laguna Apoyo deck right on their property. The ride to your room is quite an experience as well, as the rooms are on the mountain and the hotel truck has to take you to your designated room. The front desk attendant was extremely nice, he helped us out with everything! Food on their restaurants was also great. No complaints about this hotel!

The Wi-Fi absolutely not existing in the room (NO signal at all), we informed the reception, they never provided a solution. The rooms were separate (we have two kids) and in order to have connected we had to pay additional 20USD per day to use the leaving room-kitchen (that connected the two rooms) also id we didn't need it/use it. The Hotel was not full, we asked to have another room (with better wi fi and rooms connected or at least the beds in one room, as we booked) but nothing happened. The structure itself is very nice, but bad managed and bad serviced
