Paradiso Hostel

Hôtel simple mais très bien tenu au milieu d’un beau jardin avec de nombreux endroits de détente. Son restaurant mérite vraiment le détour : cadre très agréable en bord de lagune, très bonne cuisine. Plage bien équipée avec diverses activités à disposition. Le tout pour un prix très correct. À recommander.

Me encantó el lugar , muy bello sin duda alguna ; amable con los animalitos y lleno de fauna , también me encantó el ambiente súper tranquilo , la comida y la atención al cliente . Agradezco a la mesera Flor Giménez por ser muy amable y estar pendiente siempre de que la estuviéramos pasando genial mis amigas y yo !

Decided to spend a day at the lake and heard this was the better option of the local places to get a day pass. It’s OK but could be much better run. When we arrived, we were informed that towels were not included in the day pass rate AND the dryer had broken down that day, so they had none anyhow. Tough luck… It had rained over night and all the beach chairs were completely soaked. Food at the restaurant was OK but at the highest prices we found in the grater Granada area. This must be how they make their money, rather than with the $7 cover charge. Can’t imagine the backpacking guests that come to stay at a hostel being thrilled about the cost of the food here. What I found really annoying, were 6 stray dogs walking around the restaurant area at all times and begging for food. Street vendors walk around selling snacks and "ceviche". They don't take reservations for the day pass and I guess they limit the number of day passes they sell. We were told that to guarantee access we should get there by 10 am, but I saw people walking in until early afternoon. It looks like this place is visited by a lot of locals, so I assume during the week-ends it must get packed.

En route vers Managua, nous avons pris un Day-Pass pour profiter des infrastructures. Heureuse surprise : les parties communes bordant la plage de sable noir ont été fraîchement rénovées et agrandies. Nouvelles terrasses, paillotes neuves, beaucoup d’ombre. Service agréable, endroit confortable, boissons et nourritures à prix abordable. En prime, une superbe vue sur la lagune l.

This hostel build up a steep slope next to Laguna de Apoyo is very well staffed and has many spaces where you can sun or sit in a chair and watch the lake. The restaurant also serves several levels and has a great selection of foods that are very reasonable. Our room for 3 was very tiny and pretty hot. It had 3 fans but only 1 worked. One of the two windows was sealed shut. There is no place to hang clothes but there are a few drawers. It did have it's own tiny bathroom with a decent shower. The beach is pretty rocky but there are inner tubes, and kayaks available and easy to grab. The water was warm and clear but a little choppy when we were there making swimming a little challenging.
