Solymar Nicaragua – A hidden paradise… Sleep to the sound of crashing wavers, wake up to chirping birds – surrounded by beauty, tranquility and breathtaking views, it’s a genuinely rejuvenating experience. Loved the warm sun,days of pure leisure, massages on the beach, local flavors, fresh seafood and Bandito Burrito. Truly the most memorable and relaxing vacation – can’t wait to be back this December.

The place was absolutely wonderful. The property is on the beach with a large one bedroom building and a beautiful cabana that covers an open air kitchen, a bar and hammocks. There is a gate that surrounds the area and as you walk out of it you are on the beach with the water only 10 meters away. A short walk down the beach is a surf spot. The water temperature was warm along with amazing waves and almost no competition for them. In addition to the great property and location there is maid who cooked us 3 homemade meals a day. She made typical Nicaraguan dishes such as gallo pinto. For one meal she cooked up fish that had been caught that day. Overall we had an amazing stay at the property. I would recommend staying here for anyone that wants a private and relaxing vacation.

We had a lovely time during our 4 day retreat in Solymar earlier this year! The small house itself consists of only a bedroom and bath but it has an outdoor kitchen/dining/relaxing area that makes for a spacious place to dine, read, and most especially enjoy the beauty of the beach, ocean and ever changing Nicaraguan sky. It is truly a place to get away from it all.

Solymar, a small beach complex located in San Diego, Pacific Coast, Nicaragua, is a serene place to go if you want to enjoy the outdoors and plan on getting away from it all. The drive there takes you along country roads surrounded by tall trees, acres of sugarcane, farm animals, glimpses of one of many regional rivers, and small haciendas. With a large cool rancho, an outdoor kitchen and a comfortable bedroom and bathroom bungalow, the ambiance invites you to slow down, unwind and go back in time when life was more simple and quiet. My favorite activities are leisurely walks on the beach, exploring the wildlife at 3 estuaries close by, collecting shells and rocks, playing table games with close friends or family members, reading a novel in a hammock, enjoying an afternoon nap, and cooling off in the ocean. Although meals, snacks and beverages need to be thoughtfully planned out as you are far away from supermarkets, or with the property manager’s meal options, once that is established, you will enjoy dining oceanfront, with views of pelicans, sunsets, fishing boats and monarch butterflies that seek out the colorful garden sprinkled with tropical flowers, shade trees and cacti. If you are fortunate, you may see a whale in the horizon during certain months. I appreciate knowing that a security guard and cooking assistant are available. If you have experience with the outdoors and want to enjoy a few days at a tropical beach homestead, I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to go back.
