We had a phenomenal stay at the Nayal Lodge for 5 days. The team was terrific and always helpful, whether it was catching a ride to Leon or exploring Las Peñitas. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing environment and we got exactly what we hoped for.

My cousin and I spent two enjoyable nights at Nayal Lodge. The Nayal is a beautiful oasis, conveniently located across the street from the beach with lovely and friendly staff. The property itself is quiet and intimate and very clean, the owners are always available and extremely responsive.
Our breakfasts were included and very good, we had dinner one night at Nayal and enjoyed the fish tacos.
When we plan another trip to Las Peñitas, we will stay at the Nayal again.

I enjoyed my stay at Nayal Lodge. It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and you can see a beautiful sunset from the beachfront. I appreciate the cozy nature of the Lodge with only 4 rooms for a quiet and peaceful experience. Catalina and Jose were wonderful hosts, very accommodating and because they live on the property, it gives a very personal touch. The food is very tasty! The property itself is close to other restaurants and a short 20 minute drive to Leon for a different experience. I would recommend staying here.

A gem!
I am so happy that I picked this hotel out of all here in Las Penitas! Location is superb - a walk to the beach and many restaurants and you can eat in the house, as well!
The hotel is clean, comfortable and up to date. Run buy the super hostess Catalina who is always there for you - be it arranging a ride, advise on local life, get your clothes washed and more. Plus overdall flexibility.
If your spanish is non existent - not to worry, Catalina speaks english.
Highly recommended.

During our trip through Nicaragua, this accommodation in Las Peñitas was by far the best. Everything was thought through down to the smallest detail and simply breathtaking—you can immediately feel how much love, passion, and professionalism have gone into this place.
The pool was spotless at all times, and the garden area was very idyllic, quiet, and inviting—a perfect place to unwind and relax. The proximity to the beach is unbeatable: only about 70 meters across the street—you really can’t get any closer.
The restaurant was an absolute highlight and felt more like a gourmet restaurant than a typical hotel kitchen. The paella in particular was simply phenomenal. Here, too, you immediately notice the high standards of quality.
The staff were consistently attentive, present, and very warm without ever being intrusive. The owners themselves are incredibly kind, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They keep an eye on everything and take great care of their guests with genuine dedication.
The rooms were perfect: there were two different soaps (a fruity hand soap at the sink and a separate shower soap), as well as two different pillow firmness options—one soft and one firm—so you could choose what suited your neck and sleeping comfort best. The beds were neither too hard nor too soft, not worn out at all—simply perfect. Everything felt like new and was impeccably clean down to the last corner.
We also really appamenities: yoga

Or travel here was far from a vacation. We had many stressful activities and obligations that no one should have to deal with.
From the moment we checked it we were instantly removed from our world. The atmosphere, building amenities, the owners and the staff were the best we have stayed with in Central America. A massage, a bottle of wine, cheese, snacks were all the best. The animals on side were very very friendly and the pool very clean and relaxing.
Needless to say we will be staying here again.

I couldn't have been happier here. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. There is a bar and restaurant that actually stay open until the stated closing hours. The food is great, the drinks are great, the pool is perfect. And there are some vintage wines if you ask nicely. Wish I could have stayed for a couple of weeks. Thanks!

Nous avons été accueilli chaleureusement par la responsable qui nous a permis d’utiliser la piscine ainsi que les transats et le bar en attendant que notre chambre soit prête car nous étions arrivés avant l’heure prévue du Check in !
Et cela a été très appréciable! nous avons pu nous détendre et nous avons mangé sur place, le personnel est souriant et c était très bon !
Notre chambre était très jolie, très propre, décorer avec goût avec une jolie vue sur la mer !
De plus, l hôte nous aide à organiser nos excursions pour la mangrove et notre retour en shuttle ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de ce séjour !
L’hôtel est vraiment décorée avec goût en utilisant beaucoup de bois, des matériaux naturelles et chaleureux, ce qui permet de s’y sentir bien!
Si je dois revenir au Nicaragua, je ne manquerai pas de revenir chez vous !

Une nuit dépaysante
Super endroit: la décoration des chambres et des espaces communs est magnifique. La piscine et ses alentours nous ont permis de nous couper du monde extérieur.
Le petit déjeuner continental était excellent.
Nous avons déjeuné et diné: c était tres bon .
La plage se situe en face: juste à traverser la route et un terrain. De notre terrasse nous apercevions l océan.

This was the perfect spot to relax for the few days we were staying. Clean, comfortable, and beautiful grounds. The owners were the best hosts Ive been around since my time in Nicaragua. If you want the best experience and food in Las Penitas this is where you want to stay.
