Esteli Department accommodation from NZ$64

The owner/operators were some of the friendliest people on earth!!!! Even though there was a major language barrier, we still found a common ground and were able to be friends. I’d stay here again in the near future. (On a side note, the room was kinda small, and there wasn’t a closet, but I still give the hotel an A).

A Nicaraguan emerging & hidden gem! Although not part of my original itinerary, H & R Ranch is the superior choice. I originally booked my Mar 2024 trip to Nicaragua back in Sept. 2023 without any knowledge of H & R Ranch until the day of my flight. My determination of the unfortunate situation was eased from the moment I phoned H & R Ranch before my last minute booking throughout the duration of my stay at the ranch. The hospitality and experience is more than can be explained in this review, due to Tony's hospitality, my stay at H & R Ranch and the cigar factory tour he arranged has been one of my most cherish trips. H& R Ranch is about a 3-hour drive from the MGA airport, taxi about $100 USD one-way. The ranch appeared to be easy to find for the taxi. Check-in was easy & simple; I quickly found out that most of the team does not speak English, however the language barrier didn’t pose any issues. I was warmly greeted by Maury and we were able to bypass the language barrier to get me check-in. The rooms are as picture, very simple, no glitz & glam but perfect! The food is good, well seasoned. If you want serene, stillness, simple, an escape with breathtaking views and energy along so much more, in addition to Texas size hospitality in Nicaragua (Tony is from Texas) along with his amazing team Vanessa, Maury, Adie, and Jose, than visit Nicaragua and book your stay at H & R Ranch for an unforgettable and priceless experience.

Hotel was very clean and all staff is very professional
