"Part of the Cayuga Collection of sustainable luxury hotels in Central America, Jicaro Island Lodge is a luxe, private island hideaway surrounded by the serene waters of Lake Nicaragua. Among volcano-studded landscapes coated in forests, the island's nine casitas just as easily welcome adrenaline seekers eyeing water sports and hiking trails as they do those looking to spend long, lazy days floating in the infinity pool or balancing in a hammock, book in hand." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A thoroughly idyllic getaway that has come out of a slow recovery stronger: its general manager told me, “It was a slow recovery, but we’re back in the game,” explaining that the time out let them “up the ante”—what they were providing was really good before, and now it’s even better." - Lauren Mechling
"A luxe private-island hideaway in the heart of Lake Nicaragua, this small sustainable property features nine casitas set among volcano-studded landscapes. It balances active offerings—water sports, hiking trails and island exploration—with laid-back amenities such as an infinity pool and hammocks for slow, restorative days. Operated as part of a regional collection of eco-luxury hotels, it emphasizes intimate service and a secluded island atmosphere." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A ten-minute speedboat ride drops you on the dock of this tranquil private island retreat in the Granada Islands, the first luxury lodge in the area. There are just nine two-story lakefront casitas of spare, treehouse-chic design, which bring the outdoors in via huge windows, abundant use of (Rainforest Alliance-certified) hardwoods, and soft, earth-toned fabrics, most made from bamboo or organic cotton. The chef will customize menus of locally sourced ingredients according to your preferences; the service throughout the resort errs on the side of fawning. You might wish there were a larger beach than the postage stamp–size one at the landing, but compensation comes in the form of a lakeside yoga deck and a sunset-facing infinity pool—or the hammock on your casita’s private balcony. Don’t pass up the off-island excursions, which include kayaking trips through the surrounding islands or tours of the Spanish colonial town of Granada and the nearby Mombacho nature preserve."
