Carenero Island

Very clean with great staff.

This is a very special and unique place, and we feel so fortunate to have stayed here. It is well worth watching the interview with the owner that is available on the TV which we found oriented us to the history and the love and attention to historical details. There were many wonderful interesting touches throughout the property--from the information about the Scottish connection, to the photo of US politician who had a clever way of persuading his colleagues in Congress that Nicaragua was a poor choice for a canal. We felt the restaurants were gorgeous and loved to dine in them. We had a room that faced the courtyard, which was very quiet. The staff was so friendly, really exceptional in many ways. Don't miss out on visiting the sister restaurant --the Villa Anna across the park for the complimentary drinks--it is fabulous too. I just have several minor issues: Our room had a strong musty smell, though it was very clean. Also I would have appreciated a full length mirror. The food was at times excellent but inconsistent. Good luck with the new venture in the mountains, we would love to visit! All in all a very memorable and wonderful experience. Thank you.
