Beautiful and quiet place to be close to nature and relax. Only consideration is that you need to be able to climb some serious stairs to get to some of the cabins, so if you have issues with this, better to ask the staff before reserving.

The property is simply massive and out in the jungle. The hotel is on its own private bay and the rooms have incredible views. The sunsets were epic. And the staff went above and beyond every day I was there with an amazing attitude and a smile. I am a spoiled and discerning traveler and I stay at a lot of Aman, Banyan Tree, Ritz Carlton’s etc. This is an ecolodge so you will find some things are a little different but after spending 7 days here with my wife I can really say I had a special experience at Morgan’s Rock. It’s a unique place that the owners care for with love and the desire to share it with others. There are monkeys, sloths and all kinds of amazing animals also. I never write reviews but in a world saturated with luxury Oceanside hotels my experience there was special and worth writing about. Definitely a place to relax.

The surrounding natural area is fabulous, 3 kinds of monkeys, sloths, owls, raccoons, all easy to spot all over the property. Views are stunning. If you love nature, you’ll love it here. Food/drinks excellent and tour guides are informative and interesting. Shout out to Andy! Horseback ride was a blast, one of the best I’ve ever been on and I’ve been on plenty

Great place! Must go!
Great views! Very clean and modern. Eco lodge that offers a lot and lots of comfort! Staff was friendly and helpful. Even brought room service when I wasn’t feeling well. One of the most spectacular views of the sunset I have seen! The country is very safe but even if you were concerned this is sooo off the beaten track and self sustainable - I would go now while it’s still affordable.

Absolutely spectacular! This place is located in a beautiful part of the world and our villa was nestled up amongst the dry Pacific forest, with a sunset to accompany every night. A great spot to get away from it all!

Exceptional customer service
This ecolodge made out trip to Nicaragua. The view from our bungalow was spectacular and the staff knew our names. They found out it was our honeymoon and supposed us with a dinner on the beach lit by tiki torches. The food was some of the best food I have ever had. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Great escape from the busy life!
The staff here is overall one of the best that I have experienced at any place that I've traveled. They are extremely friendly, very relaxed (which rubs off on you), and very attentive to your wants or needs. One of the most beautiful and private beaches that I have ever experienced. My wife commented that its like Fantasy Island.

Quiet jungle sanctuary
Beautiful jungle location with delicious food. You have to pay to play though which was a little disappointing. We paid way too much for transfers and trips into different beaches as we later found out when we stayed down the road in Playa Maderas. Every extra activity was minimum double the price of all other boutique hotels we stayed at in Nicaragua. The beach at Morgans rock is amazing and the staff are so friendly. Be prepared to walk up many stairs and listen to all the animals in the jungle. This location is perfect if you want to stick to yourself and get away from it all in a beautiful jungle and quiet beach area. This is an isolated location pretty far from any surf or town.

Great hotel
Morgans rock is a very nice hotel, acomadstions very nice, air conditioned bed was perfect, much better than most "eco" hotels, lots of friendly staff but not very interactive. We had car so trips to maderas and San Jain del sir were easy and gave respite from the isolation at morgans rock. Prices were very high for Nicaragua.

272 steps every time you need to get service
The picture is misleading. Our room had excellent views but nowhere close to the beach. A beetle launched itself in my kids hair and refused to come out. Rooms are so dimly lit you can't see anything. Terrible experience. The lodge is 5 kilometers from the front gate so there is no chance of getting into town. If you went for breakfast, lunch and dinner it is over 1500 steps. No room service. Bugs in the room.

Wonderful location
Morgan's rock has a wonderful location in tropical forest overlooking its own beach on the Pacific Ocean. The rooms are to a high standard and beautifully positioned but note that for environmental reasons there is no a/c only fans. We did not like the open bathrooms. We are fit and enjoyed the long walks through the forest from restaurant to cabin. For the seriously unfit it could be a nightmare :200 steps to the beach. Great opportunities to see wildlife and guided trips were excellent. Restaurant staff were nice but woefully undertrained. Food was good. I trust you have removed the ludicrous warning that you might be expected to share. you might as well warn those booking a room at the Ritz that they might have to share their bedroom.Overall a wonderful experience for fit people who don't mind a few rough edges.

A wonderful get away
Morgan's Rock is a wonderful place to get away from it all. You will need to take a two and a half taxi ride to the ecolodge but it is definitely worth it. Also note that Nicaragua is in the northern hemisphere, therefore their winter is our winter. I say this because the rainforest is a thorn forest dry and deciduous in the winter and spring until the rains. Because of this the howler monkeys are very easy to spot, as well as some of the other wildlife.
