Hacienda Puerta del Cielo Eco Lodge & Spa

Great place to relax and the people were great. Make sure to follow directions through Masatepe and that your map looks like the one posted to get there. Can see the volcano and the park jungle canopy. Everyone was very helpful and it was very peaceful and quiet at night. Enjoy!!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! The rooms are very comfortable and have everything that you need, the pool is great and wraps around the property, giving you beautiful views of Volcan Masaya and Laguna de Masaya from all directions and the food was wonderful as well! We really enjoyed our conversation with JC and he was very quick at responding when we set up our reservation as well. The staff also were very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We also arranged spa treatments and Evelin was amazing. I only wish we had stayed two nights so we could’ve spent a full day at the pool one day as well.

Is very difficult to get there you need to get a 4x4 car

One of a kind place. Beautiful views! The owner and staff were incredible and made our stay extra special! The food was delicious! The massage was fantastic, probably one of the best we’ve ever had! Definitely recommend staying here if visiting Nicaragua!

This is one of the most unique hotels I have ever stayed at. It is essentially a villa owned and operated by JC Espinoza, an accomplished architect who built this place for entertaining his clients. The hotel overlooks the volcano Masaya which had a minor eruption on Dec 22, 2024. It also overlooks the lake Masaya which, in itself, is an old volcano crater. The view and wildlife are simply amazing. This hotel is tucked away up in the mountains. Access road (which is not paved) is a bit tricky and bumpy. Better to have 4x4 vehicles but not big pick-up trucks as possibility exists that larger trucks would no be able to get through tight mountain passes. If in doubt, local guide is recommended. For several nights, we were the only guests there (out of 8 rooms available). All staff are extremely friendly and we felt it's own villa completed with own staff including chef, groundskeeper, waiter, who stay here in the hotel. Food is mostly local and simple. It is cook to order. Meals are scheduled based on guests preference. All meals are a la cart and no buffet. Because we were the only guests there, the chef essentially cooked for us and rest of the staff. To be realistic, please do not expect fine dining since this is simply not that type of resort. Wifi is available in public areas and is excellent. This is why I am typing this review now while overlooking smoke smouldering out of the volcano. This hotel is also not far from the historical town Granada (about 45 min) This 500 years old establishment is worth a day trip visit. Although there aren't many activities in the hotel, star grazing is amazing, so is playing with the cow. All is all, our stay has so far been quite an experience and I recommend anyone who are interested in this type of tranquility. I shall miss this place.

Charming place. Very comfortable. Super views especially at sunset. Fabulous staff and JC was great host. Slightly out of the way but worth the effort. Over all, it was a very relaxing place. See photos of views from room. Highly recommend.
