“Absolutely fabulous…”


“...never seen anything like it here and no one has come close to doing something this

 magnificent here.” .......Local developer



"breath taking......seen the pictures you sent... they do not do it justice at all... "


"woooooo... " is a common explanation as people enter the gates onto the main patio...


"....must be the finest home on the west coast of Nicaragua......."


"... some words that come to mind when I remember being there are 'majestic', 'relaxing', 'fun', 'surreal' and 'breathtaking'. It is impossible not to feel inspired when waking up to the view that's offered from Orquidea, and the atmosphere of the retreat is unbeatable. Bob, Joanne and family open their house up to you and before you know it, you are like old friends. I have never felt more welcome. After a year of traveling, my time at Orquidea is, without a doubt, a highlight of my trip. I can't wait to return."


“Simply - Heaven on Earth!!”
"...tucked away in the southern reaches of Nicaragua - is just what we were looking for to get away from it all!"
"...so lush and beautiful a "Garden of Eden" surrounding..."

"The most beautiful hotel in the Pacific of Nicaragua"
"My fiance Joe and I stayed at Orquidea for a couple of nights (we actually got engaged there!). The pictures really don't do it justice. The view, the landscape, the colors, it is all just too beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the service and food are excellent. Every single detail in the hotel has been perfectly selected with the best taste. It is an ideal place to relax and forget about everyday life. The beach is amazing, so clean and private. I can't wait to go back."

"Great spot, great people, a great time."
"Everything about our time there and the time with our hosts was of the highest quality and caliber. All our arrangements with the team at Orquidea went off without a hitch or hiccup. We arranged for a pickup in Managua and we were met right on time by two great guys. That is the thing about this place, not only is the accommodation right of the "Homes of the Rich and Famous", but the attitude and friendliness is extraordinary."

"We loved the beach and could not get enough."
"We had our hosts arrange some extra curricular activites, e.g. horseback riding and a boat tour up the coast. The arrangements were terrific and the experiences with the guides they arranged were great."

"The stay at Orquidea del Sur addressed our need for adventure, provided extremely well for our creature comfort wants, was unusually picturesque and simply beautiful, was restful and restorative, and was stimulating at the same time."

"I went to Orquidea del Sur with my husband to celebrate our 12 wedding anniversary. I knew by looking at their website that the place was beautiful but once we got there the word beautiful was not enough to describe it. The building and rooms are designed with great taste. The infinity pool is amazing, surrounded by a well kept landscape. The beach is pristine and secluded. You can walk in complete privacy enjoying a sense of peace and tranquility that it is impossible to feel when you are in your "real life" . The staff is very friendly and willing to make your stay pleasant. The food is fresh and very very good. They prepared a very romantic and delicious dinner (lobster) just for the two of us, by the pool, with candle lights. The only complaint is that we stayed only one night! Well, since we live in Managua, we can (and will) go back soon."

"One of the most beautiful places on earth"
"If you are planning a trip to Central America, consider Nicaragua and definitely go to Orquidea del Sur. It is unbelievable!"
