We have stayed at Casa Sol before and think it’s amazing! Pool and lake view is gorgeous and outdoor space so relaxing.

We stayed 8 days and will definitely return. Beautiful pool, house, property, lagoon for swimming, and surrounded by natural beauty. We met the owners twice and they were very friendly. They even had an anniversary cake delivered for my wife’s sister’s anniversary mid week. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We must have spent 3 hours EVERY day in that pool :-) Absolutely wonderful experience!

Heaven on Earth

Words can't describe the beauty of this place. The location is one of a kind setting on the shores of quator lake. From this location you can go to many other areas of interest in Nicaragua. The security staff here was friendly and very attentive. They did our laundry, Vegeta scrub, and clean her car and went and got us gas we couldn't be happier.

Great family getaway!

We spent the weekend at Tamara's place with a big group consisting of 3 families. There was something for everyone and so many places to hang out and relax. The pictures don't do it justice. Tamara was a very attentive host, and she also had a property manager who was available when we needed. We are looking forward to coming back again. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wish I could have stayed longer!

We had a party of 10. No complaints, property was amazing, breathtaking views and wonderful staff. Pool was great! We used the kayaks and went for a swim in the lagoon, staff was very helpful during the stay. Recommend 4x4 vehicles only as it can be a climb just getting out of the area and the man charging to get into the area-he charges each time you leave and come back but he is not tied to the property at all just an FYI. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely come back.

Perfect spot for a big group

The house was beautiful, three of the four rooms with an amazing view. It was very quiet and peaceful. There were many areas to spend time together as a group. there are lots of stairs though so be prepared to have some exercise. When the power went out, which can happen, there was a backup generator. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook. It surpassed our expectations. We will definitely visit again.

Best place to stay at in Laguna de Apoyo!

I've lived in Nicaragua for several years and was lucky enough to get invited to stay here. My family and i we're amazed that the description of the property matched its profile. The house is lovely and spacious. The bedrooms are comfortable and have AC, the dining room and kitchen include everything you need to cook. The side patio includes comfortable a sofa, chairs, table, and hammocks. The house overlooks laguna de apoyo, has a great pool area, and hotsprings!! Book this house!

Another Wonderful Visit to Casa de Sol

Thank you to Tamara and all the staff for another restful visit at Casa de Sol. Take a look at the photos, that's exactly what you'll see. We were four adults, ages mid 40's to 60's. So many places to be alone or together. Very quiet and peaceful. The house and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I don't know when, but we'll be back!

It was a wonderful vacation with all the R&R you will ever need. The people take pride in caring for the house just as they should since it was amazing and a lot of work went into making it so. It has everything you will need. The staff are wonderful and accommodating. Let's not forget the Lagoon and the closeness to it was breathtaking. Having it all at our fingertips, including a swimming pool with children's floaties was an added touch. I highly recommend it.

Birthday trip

My weekend stay at Casa de Sol was truly amazing. The whole experience from reserving, to planning and making accommodations was pleasant. My stay was nothing short of incredible. The house was beautiful, filled with many details that made the experience even more enjoyable. The grounds and pool were exquisite, a true paradise. It was accessible, well taken care of, and we wanted for nothing. On top of everything those working the property were a joy to be around. I have already recommended this property to many friends in the area. Thank you for making the trip better than imagined!

Better than expected

In the last years, we have rented accommodations in Rivas, Ometepe, SAN Juan del Sur and Montelimar however, none of them come even close to this property, the owners attention to details and the people that take care of the property and the guest. The cleanest property by far. We also had the good fortune of having Rita cook our meals( extra). Not only was the food delicious but it gave us the opportunity to enjoy our time at “ Casa del Sol” without worrying about the preparation of our meals. Lastly, we all enjoyed our stay so much that we recommend this place 100%

Fantastic property for family or friends!

We made a brief stay (far too brief and we'd like to come back soon) at Casa Del Sol during a two week trip in Nicaragua. This is a fantastic property with private security, excellent amenities and view. The lake is great, wonderful to sit on the two/three levels on the water and have to choose "pool? lake? hot springs spot?". It's a bit nicer than most 'adventure vacation' properties, but a good location to get to Lake Managua, the coast, Granada, etc. We would love to come back next year and spend more time at Casa Del Sol... it was a wonderful place, the owners were great and it was nice to have extra security in a 'remoter' location on the lake.

The place was incredible beautiful! The space to host for my family to come and visit was just perfect ! One thing / advise: when you check in, please count every single cup, utensils, and plates, because if there is one missing @ checkout, they will charge you for it. They charge you $10 for the additional people coming to stay with you during the day, not sure if that’s a thing or what, but I paid extra. You need a 4X4 vehicle, so please no matter where you rent, make sure you have your right vehicle! Other than that, the house is very beautiful! And we all loved it !

Simply Perfect!

This is hands down one of the best rental homes in Nicaragua. It offers amazing views of the lagoon in a very private and serene setting. You also have 2 waterfront restaurants within walking distance. Day trips to Granada and Masaya are only 1/2 hour away. The house itself offers very high end finishes, very comfortable beds and cold ac in the bedrooms. The natural infinity pool is a dream overlooking the lagoon. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The only logistics you have to consider is to do a complete grocery shopping trip before arrival, as supplies are very limited in the immediate vicinity. All in all, this property, amenities and location are 5 stars! Thank you to the owner and staff for the amazing hospitality...we will be back! Carmen B. And Family

I was looking for a place around 1am in Nicaragua. I thought to myself it’s 1am, and we may have to wait to the morning or next day to get a response. I want the message and Tamara responded and made magic happen for me and my family. She got us checked in that morning as. Saved the trip for all is! I can’t believed she answered at that time. We arrived later that day and I am not gonna lie… I was shocked! My mouth was wide open fromThe gate opening with a security guard who is on premises 24/7, but the property was immaculate! My whole family was in love with everything. The house was amazing but eh surrounding area on the property was gorgeous.

It was a wonderful experience at Casa del Sol.

Our party consisted of nine people, including four adults and five children. We stayed for two weeks and had an amazing time. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with kindness and respect. We mostly spend our time at the pool and at night in the kitchen cooking. The pool was perfect for our boys. The The staff was professional and extremely helpful. The beds and rooms were comfortable and pleasant. It was hot, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night was an excellent relief. The house does need some updates, but nothing that would keep you from having a great time. The housekeeper was absolutely amazing. She was a big part of our enjoyment of our stay. Everything was clean daily. At night, security would make his rounds, which, of course, made us feel safe. The current staff that is in place was the key to a great experience. We had several requests, and every single one was met. We made memories that will last us a lifetime. We will definitely be staying here again. Our only mistake was not staying longer!

dreadful/no respect for guests/ you'll feel like an inconvenience. Not enough space to list all....

On 2nd to last day power went out, maintenance crew turned on gasoline powered generator located directly in front of the house, pungent fumes permeated the entire house for over one hour we had to step out, tried to book rooms in city near by but were unavailable as it was late 8-9 pm. we contacted owner who didn't reply, she stated she was sleeping and that the gasoline fumes were only for one hour. Owner also concluded fumes were intensified because I am pregnant. Next day we had my in laws over for coffee, owner wanted to run tests on the generator with engineer to test the generator. we informed her we had in laws with respiratory illness ( COPD) my 90 y.o grandma also very sensitive. We did not wish to experience the stench of gasoline again, (even for "one hour"). My advice to owner is to have the property ready and prepared. gasoline fumes at any length of time for pregnant or non pregnant human beings is never safe and to downplay the situation by using my pregnancy is completely unacceptable and inhumane. We had to check out early as electricity could not be guaranteed. If you decide to book with this property be sure to check on generator. Other issues which make you feel like an inconvenience: limited towels, poor cleaning schedule, owner stated daily cleaning then said it was only 5 days, ,(stated to read the contract)but even then missed 3 days cleaning, also harassed us about A/c use. owner stated it is expensive to pay electric bill.

Casa Del Sol is PARADISE! Wonderful property, incredible staff and great guidance from the owners

This is one of the best properties we have had the pleasure to visit IN OUR LIVES. We travel globally and this was our second trip to Nicaragua. The owners were great leading up to the trip and during it. The staff is wonderful, do yourself a big favor and make sure you hire the cook, it's incredibly affordable, the food is FANTASTIC (our boys fell in love with her Gallo Pinto and looked forward to the meals EVERY DAY) and you can decide the day prior if you'd like to skip a meal if your plans take you elsewhere for the day. She will even teach you how to make real tortillas and knows a fair amount of English. On that note, the property manager is completely dialed into the area and speak excellent English/can help with just about any request you may have. The property has an infinity pool and a terrace that is just amazing. Swimming in the Laguna is awesome whether it is a bit wavy or super calm. the THERMALS are a great experience, you move from 80 F water into a HOT TUB when you are over one and it's quite a treat. You can walk to Laguna Beach Club if you'd like some company or a change of pace and it's not one of the hectic/super loud ones that are a bit further away. I'd come back here for a 'guys trip', my wife would do the same for a girls trip and we are definitely bringing our kids back again (9 and 12). You can just relax on the property, or use it for a launching pad to Granada, Masaya, Catarina and other areas. Nature hikes, swimming, other water sports and recreational activities are a $5-20 cab ride away. We also LOVED having not only the housekeeper/groundskeeper/cook, but it was comforting to have a security guard on the property 24/7. I honestly can't imagine (except for people with disabilities, because there are stairs and it's a multi level property) anyone that wouldn't REALLY enjoy their stay at Casa Del Sol.
