    A very chill and friendly place to stay.

    For the price of an individual room I think there should be a hairdryer. There is a distinct lack of comfortable seating in the beach and bar area. One day it rained bringing everyone in to the bar area and the wooden chairs. Sitting for hours in a swimsuit at those tables wasn't comfortable at all. Maybe a section with some hammocks near the beach or some more cushions (not just those few at the front of the seated section) I would have preferred more small snacks on the menu as three full meals a day is a lot.

    The room was really nice- modern, clean, spacious and freshly decorated. I really liked the room. The breakfast selection was great also. The staff in the restaurant and bar area were great. The evening activity brought people together and I enjoyed that. The shuttle to pick you up is great also.

    Food was a little expensive but very tasty. I also wish there were more tour options other than Masaya.

    The location and amenities were absolutely amazing. The crater lake swimming and kayaking were very relaxing, and the hang out area of the hotel was great.

    I feel it’s overpriced for Nicaragua. At $80 plus tax per night. It’s very high. The food is overpriced as well. And they really need to get better coffee.

    The staff is very friendly and professional. The property is clean and well cared for and they’re always making improvements.

    The room was very small and you could hear everything the neighbours were doing or saying. Due to the weather the room is a bit moist so not really a comfy stay. Staying for 2 nights was enough.

    Paradiso is a fun place to stay at the beautiful lagoon. The water is nice and you get to use kayaks and tubes to chill in the water. my kids had a lot of fun. The Restaurant is pricey but the quality of the food and drinks are really good

    There are not many food options in the area.

    Better to spend the night there; the dorms are comfortable, modern and clean, with your own reading lamp and fan. When the day crowd wears out, it gets quiet, and you can almost fall asleep in the hamack at the sound of the jungle. The premises are one of the better of the area, lots of place to work or chill. There's pancakes and fruits for breakfast.

    this is a hotel that is built on the hillside and there are many stairs to get anywhere. If you require any special accommodation for that this is not the place for you. However if you are fit and in reasonable shape this is a perfectly beautiful, enchanting, delightful place to stay. But in no way accessible.

    It’s like paradise. They go out of their way to organize events pretty much every evening. There is also a nice work area for people who are doing workation. The only improvement I recommend would be wifi going up to the rooms in the back. It’s super weak currently and with no cell network

    Paradiso Laguna is a true gem, located right on the beautiful Laguna. The water is slightly warm and incredibly inviting—perfect for relaxing swims. The food here blew me away. I had one of the best fish meals in the last three months—perfectly grilled and packed with flavor. The kitchen really knows what it's doing. What stood out most was the staff. Everyone is extremely well-trained and attentive, which clearly reflects great management by the owners. It made the stay even more enjoyable. The dorms are comfortable, with a fully functioning AC. Bathrooms are spotless, the toilet is spacious, and the shower is impressively large. Honestly, I can’t get enough of this place. Highly recommend!

    There is limit spots to sit at by the beach due to all the people that bought day passes and then set their items on the table and swim the whole time.

    Location, very well maintained.

    The place is overpriced.. For such price for a room I was expected that there will be hot water in the bathroom.

    Breakfast was OK; For lunch you will pay. Because there is no alternative place for lunch and diner, you will eat in the hostel restaurant. Take into consideration that everything is overpriced,

    No beds to lie down and sunbathe, only chairs (which to be fair we're comfortable). I wish the menu had more variety.

    Beat beach front out of all other hotels in the area, a lot is seating. Very well kept and clean, rooms looked new and were spacious and comfortable. Reasonably priced food when taken into account that you are pretty far from any supermarket or restaurant.
