1. San Simian Eco Lodge
Overall Ratings
5 based on 458 reviews
San Simian is a charming Eco Lodge in the Laguna de Apoyo Dry Forest Preserve. Nestled along the water's edge, this secluded resort has private unique lodging tucked into the slope of the crater and steps from the swimming dock, hammocks and bar where guests pass the time. Guests can stay in a unique palm-roofed cottage with open air shower, private garden or terrace, eat at our full service restaurant and relax at our outdoor bar. As San Simian is equipped with a Catamaran, several Kayaks, and other water toys, activity revolves at the lake front and in the clear warm water itself, however, bird and monkey watching in the surrounding forest are also popular, and we are also located at the entrance to a great hike path that leads up the hill to the Pueblas Blancas artisan villages and the stunning Mirador at Catarina. Please Call Ahead if you would like us to arrange a massage, pedicure, Spanish lesson, guided hike, Granada or Masaya tour.
Keeps Getting Better
Reviewed By wkspenBack in the Laguna in March, I stayed again at San Simian and was able to check-out their recently constructed cabina - Limon. Limon sits up the hill near the road and restaurant. The modern design and bright color set is apart from the other cabinas. Additionally, it is a two-story structure with a balcony overlooking the Laguna. Limon actually consists of two separate bedrooms and two baths, interconnecting to a common indoor spiral stairway, that ascends to a spacious, open sitting area with dining table and chairs, a couple of bench seats and lounger chairs. There is a widescreen TV, internet, a wet bar w/ mini refrigerator. It is open all the way around, and with large ceiling fans that provide good ventilation. It is a nice comfortable spot to hangout and relax. The space has good lighting for reading, playing games, meetings, or whatever. One bedroom features a queen bed and the other (2) bunk beds. There is seating in the room and dressers/racks for storage. The rooms have excellent lighting. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, air conditioning and own indoor bathroom. The bathrooms have a spacious hot water shower, large vanity with storage and sink, and good lighting. Limon is ideal for a group or family, with space to be together, but also privacy when needed. I also took note of recent renovations to Coco and Papaya, both reconfigured, and with Coco gaining a sitting area and an outdoor bathroom. Bathhouses down by the beach bar have been expanded and the bar has been renovated. The landscape continues to evolve with new plants being added. I stayed for several days on the front and end of my trip. The food and service were excellent as usual. The staff is friendly and responsive. San Simian is a very tranquil property away from some of the properties catering to the younger crowd and day trippers. In my opinion, one of their biggest assets.

Overpriced, inconsistent management, deceptive policies
Reviewed By mjgriffyRead all the other reviews: Don’t go here until they improve their policies, prices, services and method of business. There is clearly a negative pattern. Stay in a nearby guest house or AirBnB, and day-use only, if you must. The price of a boring tiny breakfast is ridiculous, although it does come with day-use if you want it. What angered me is that they charged $1.50 for coffee and $5.50 (!!) for juice. The menu clearly says “Todos los desayaunos van acompanados de café, te o refresco.” (Breakfast includes drinks). See photo. I asked the waiter, he said that is for guests only (wrong). So I asked the cashier, and she said drinks are included. I clarified that we did not order an “upgrade.” The debate went on, they didn’t offer my money back, she gave me a free bottle of water. The point is not the price -- it is the principle. On principle, the management needs to review all these negative complaints and address them with better staff training, disclosure, and policies. Note, we have also stayed in the hotel previously with lackluster results. This was my third and final visit. Unfortunately, the customer is always wrong here.

Don’t trust them
Reviewed By HknRead2013Hotel Selvazul advertises that they offer SCUBA diving as one of their activities. It’s prominently featured on their website. I messaged them Sunday to say I’d like to schedule a dive and day trip for this week. They said no reservations were needed for day activities. I reiterated that the dive was our top priority and we’d be driving a long way. I included a screenshot of their dive info from their website, and said we were PADI certified and wanted to book a single tank dive for two. I asked if dives took place everyday. They said yes and that no scheduling was necessary. We drove over two hours to be told by the dismissive person working the desk that they don’t currently have an instructor or working equipment. He shrugged when I showed him the text stream. He told us to go to another hotel (which, it turns out, doesn’t even claim to offer diving). When I asked if he’d call them for us, he refused and told us we’d just have to go talk to them. He offered nothing - not help looking for an alternative, not a cup of coffee while we regrouped, or a free day pass (about $4) - to make the situation better.

Nothing of resort
Reviewed By 1Nomad2014Stayed on 29th of May, 2021 - There is nothing but accommodations. Stayed in an apartment; no internet, no TV, no breakfast no any other kind of service. Room looked clean, but certainly not worth $100, maybe $30-40. Food was only available at La Vista Restaurant and Grill. Waited for food AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES for two people and they still forgot part of my order (mushrooms). Meal cost $45 - too much for quality, price or service that was received. Menu in dollars.

Booking error on their side handled unprofessionally
Reviewed By carimatiaAmazing design from both esthetic as well as functional perspective. However, there were some complications with our booking that were majorly inconvenient for us. We had to leave a day earlier than our confirmed booking due to a mistake on their side and it was handled rather unprofessionally.

Muy sencillo, economico
Reviewed By ANDONI60Escogimos este hotel porque nos habian hablado de el por económico. Solo estuvimos 1 noche 5 personas. Cogimos 3 habitaciones, 2 en la parte de abajo y 1 en el primer piso. Nosotros queríamos habitaciones con vistas a la calle, pero nos dijeron que estaban llenas las habitaciones del 1º piso. Nunca vimos a los huéspedes que nos dijeron. Las habitaciones son muy muy sencillas y un poco anticuadas, pero daban la sensación de limpias. Solo para dormir y nada más. Lo que si me llamó la atención es el patio, escaleras y resto de la parte común del hotel ya que daba la sensación de un hotel mejor; pero las habitaciones que nosotros cogimos no hacían honor a esta sensación. Sin más, si buscas algo económico, te puede servir. Disponen de un terreno muy cerca para guardar el carro. La atención podría mejorar mucho. Se encuentra cerca de la plaza donde hay bares y restaurantes.

Do not stay here, look elsewhere
Reviewed By lilly nDon’t stay here, it was a terrible experience for me. In order to use water to shower or wash your hands, you have to ask the owner to turn on the pump. Whenever you ask her, she is very annoyed at your request. She always turns off all the lights in the hotel so you have to walk around with a flashlight. Surprisingly, she imposes a curfew on the guests. If you’re not back by 11:00 pm, good luck trying to get in. It sucks because the hotel is in a good location with a lot around it, but you can’t enjoy any of it because you’re locked up inside. Very depressing and boring vibe here. Go to any other hotel then this one. If you wanna be in a jail, book here. And to the owner, if you want this business to be successful, remove Lydia from the hotel. She made my night here miserable.
