"Pros: What a wonderful experience! Staying in an elevated cabin in the middle of the jungle was unreal! I stayed in La Malinche cabin which offered a direct view of the volcano. It’s magical!
The cabin is opened on all sides so you feel the breeze and hear the sounds of birds, howler monkeys and other animals. You may wake up to some howlers right outside! The bed net is a saviour as you’ll probably get a few critters that make their way into the room (tip: keep your bags closed).
You will smell the fruit trees and see varieties of butterflies on the property.
The restaurant has an incredible view, especially at sunset!
The staff are extremely helpful in organizing anything you need (transportation, rentals, recommendations, etc.) Everyone was very friendly!
Please note that La Bambouseraie and Selvista Guesthouse is on the same grounds and offer the same facilities (restaurant, common kitchen area, reception, etc.)
Only the type of accommodation is different. If using a taxi, use Selvista as a reference for directions.
Also, I see a lot of comments about things like hot water and A/C but these are luxuries that are not commonly found in Nicaragua and you quickly learn to do without.
Cons: It is quite a walk up to the property from the road. I would strongly suggest an ATV, 4x4 or motorbike to get up the rocky path. You will need to rent a vehicle or pay for transportation if you wish to see most highlights on the island as not much is accessible by foot." ~Bianca
