We had a nice stay at Finca del Sol. The cabin was delightful. We really enjoyed the area--rented bikes and explored--easy ride to Balgue and Ojo de Agua . Easy walking distance to the beach and a good selection of restaurants. Transportation around the island can be difficult and/or expensive--Santa Cruz is a good spot to be, as the buses... More

We had a great stay at Finca del Sol. The main proprietor, Christiano, made this trip easy for us. He helped with all the arrangements to get to and from the island, such as recommendations for the ferry, taxi service. He also arranged all of our activities, including hiking Maderas Volcano, renting a motor bike for a day, and horseback... More

We had a great stay at Finca del Sol. When we arrived it was set out a little more sparsely than what we had expected. However, this provided a little more privacy in each of the cabins. Cristiano explained everything to us on arrival and made us feel welcome on his farm. Supposedly hot water and electricity are hard to... More

Three bungalows here, I stayed at the Bamboo House which had a gorgeous view of the Volcano Concepcion, especially for sunset.  Furnishings are modern and well designed, with hot water (though you will never need due to the sweltering heat here), composting toilet, mosquito netting, and TV/DVD with large DVD library (but no tv reception). Power is solar powered so... More

So, I must begin by saying that our cabin, el Sol, was beautiful! I loved it and the hammocks and the fact that it was 100% ecological! I really admire and am inspired by all of the work that Cristiano and Sheri have put in to create such beautiful cabins. Being there, I felt so connected to nature, and my... More

The views are worth the price, and in the evening you can sit outside your casita and watch the sunset between the volcano and the lake. The place is extraordinarily clean, with mosquito netted beds, composting toilet, and solar power. We did have a large spider visit one night, but that is common on the island. The finca has sheep,... More

Waking up to the view of a cloud-covered volcano is a pretty good way to start the day. The views from Finca del Sol are amazing, not to mention the sunsets. We stayed in the “La Luna” casita and it was spacious and cozy all at the same time. The location of Finca del Sol is very convenient to cool... More

We started out our Honeymoon trip staying at Finca del Sol. We could not have felt more welcome. The care and attention our hosts have put into their land and adobe houses is remarkable. My husband and I will absolutely be back. More

My wife and I were very impressed with Finca del Sol. It was our kind of place from the start. The owners are very helpful, considerate, and community oriented. They went out of their way to help us with a cash issue/the cash machine in Moyagolpa did not like my wifes card. They arranged for a guide to climb Maderas... More

Our stay at the Finca del Sol was the highlight our our trip to Nicaragua. Sherri and Cristiano are fantastic hosts and have done a great job building a truly sustainable eco-lodge.
