Morgan's Rock

We stayed 4 days as part of a wedding event and were blown away. Morgan's rock is beautifully located overlooking the sea, the villa we stayed in was clean and comfortable (not to mention nicely designed), the food was excellent. The staff were all friendly, responsive and overall made our time there so enjoyable. Their committment to sustainability is admirable and should be taken as an example. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely hidden escape that feels remote but safe and welcoming. We celebrated a wedding with friends and it was festive, relaxing, exciting (surf lessons), and all with great weather and excellent service. Food is tasty, rooms well appointed, staff there to help. Thank you!

We stayed at Morgan’s Rock for over a week. The bungalows are breathtakingly beautiful. Our bungalow was one situated up on the hill we were able to hear and see the wildlife in its natural form. We were overlooking the jungle staring straight at the sea. Sea views in front and the bay to our right. We enjoyed our infinity pool during the day and relaxing on the beach in the afternoon watching the sunset. We went on the sloth and monkey safari and was not disappointed. We went hiking up the hills on foot and on horseback. The service was great and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend a visit if you ever find yourself in Nicaragua.

5th visit, still the best place we have ever been and worth the slight hassle to get there from the UK. This is such a special place. The private beach is beautiful, I can never tire of it. The lodges are all goregous, you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle, with stunning views. The staff are kind, thoughtful and fun, and the food and drink delicious. Sustainability is at the heart of the business. Already planning visit 6 next year. Thank you Morgans Rock See you very Soon! Rebecca and Tabatha x

My family and I stayed in a 2 bedroom villa for 4 nights. The villa was spacious, well done and provided excellent views. The monkeys playing in the trees and howling in the morning were an added bonus. The beach was beautiful and clean. Meals were delicious and the service was on point. I had a massage and the experience was nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and enjoyed all of the interesting aspects of staying at an eco lodge.

My husband and I are at Morgan’s Rock right now and we love it! It opened in 2004 and this is our 14th or 15th visit. Our last visit was in 2018, so it had been a while and we were hoping it was still the awesome place we remember. It definitely is! I honestly can’t understand the complaints about the food. We have been blown away by how good it is. There’s nothing else around, so we eat three meals a day here and therefore signed up for a meal plan. The menu is not vast, which is understandable, considering how far the food has to be transported, and how few guests are here. The prices are not high and the food quality is incredibly good. My husband had a burger for lunch, and I had a “trio of tacos” (shrimp, steak, and chicken) and both meals were fantastic. Last night for dinner. my husband had lamb chimichurri and I had a beautiful piece of fish. It could not have been better. Prior reviews about the food should be ignored in my opinion. The bungalows are as beautiful as ever, as are the beach and the pool. The drive to get here is a little bit long and bumpy, but so worth it. We also enjoy the drive for the view it gives of Nicaragua, and we like to stop in Rivas for a cold drink and a quick break en route. This review would not be complete without a comment about the wonderful staff here. Everyone is friendly and polite, from the folks at reception to the housekeepers to the wait staff to the grounds keepers. Some speak pretty good English, but definitely not all. But that’s part of the fun of traveling to a different country, right? Many thanks to everyone we met at Morgan’s Rock who made our stay this time as memorable as all of our prior stays. I can’t recommend Morgan’s rock more highly. It is a unique place in the world, and in our opinion, there’s really nothing quite like it anywhere else.

what a place. We had a Ocean View bungalow and the views did not disappoint. The bungalow had a huge double bed and my friend slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable. The balcony had a swing double bed and every night we would watch the sun go down. Magical The staff were great . Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice. Dinner was also very tasty and top marks to the chef who produced great, tasty food every night . We stayed 6 nights and ate lobster for 3 of those nights. The best I have ever eaten. Thank you to the people working in the restaurant for being so lovely and so good at your jobs. The beach is spectacular and that is where we spent most of our time. Do swim in the sea, very safe and jaw dropping beautiful A few small things would make Morgans Rock even better 1). For the price of the rooms I would include a free tour, especially for those with small children. A night tour or a guided nature tour for a couple of hours would be great 2). I would have a happy hour on the beach to cover sunset. 3). I cannot fault the staff but the cocktails were somewhat in consistent. Sometimes in a small glass, sometimes in a large glass. Sometimes you can taste the alcohol other times you feel you have been given a soft drink. Maybe a little training would be useful Overall though it is a fantastic place

Had the most amazing time at Morgan’s Rock. Perfect place to disconnect, unwind. Staff is kind and friendly. Food was really good. You feel like you have your own private beach even if there are a few other families there. Took a beautiful sunset hike with Harvy. My sons also did a horse back riding tour with him. We went to their local farm for breakfast, collected eggs, milked a cow and made tortillas at the farm. On the way home there were howler and spider monkey sightings. The rooms were really amazing. All sustainable. The most creative air conditioning over the beds to help you sleep well. Views are gorgeous as are the sunsets. Lots of walking and stone stairs as you are nestled in the jungle but you get used to it. Bring beach bag or tote as the hotel did not have for some reason. Massages were amazing. Both therapists were great. Hammocks and shaded cabanas on the beach. Always a staff member around to help with anything you need. Only advice is to skip lunch in San Juan Del Sur but head sttaight to the Cristo statue for amazing views. Not much else to do outside the property so 3-4 nights is plenty. We didnt manage to fit in a volcano day trip but hear those are great too - just more driving. Getting in and out of Nicaragua is a bit tricky. The land border crossing is cumbersome as you get in and out your car several times, passport checks are numerous. Do not arrive to Nicaragua late in evening. One person at border and even 1-2 ppl will have you waiting too long to show papers. Hire good driving company to get you in and out easily. Morgans Rock was a delight and if you can wrap your head around the border crossing, you land in paradise for a few days and its suddenly all worth the hassle. Maria Jose is property manager and is very lovely as well. Thank you all for a wonderful family break.

We arrived at Morgan's Rock with huge hopes. The photos on the website are amazing and it looked very promising by all accounts. It is a long and bumpy ride to the hotel which is hidden at the edge of lush jungle in Nicaragua. The setting is phenomenal and the hotel could do some small things to make it world class. A lot of the staff do not speak great English. Our food orders often came wrong, incomplete or not at all. The food was really dismal, not great choice and invariably not very tasty. Particularly given the cost of staying at this hotel. There was an expensive buffet one evening and we all went up to have salad first as a starter and then again for the main course and we were told that we couldn't go up twice even though we had explained what we had done. Luckily I explained to Janley and he sorted it out, but it was really not a great experience. The bedrooms were lovely - well appointed, great air con system over the beds and lovely indoor and outdoor showers. The views from the bungalows are stunning and the little plunge pools were very nice. The beach is beautiful and Luis the brilliant waiter couldn't have been more attentive at getting us cocktails all day long! It's a shame the food and service is so poor on the whole, otherwise it would be a great hotel.
