4BR Villa in Gran Pacifica Resort

Super host

I would like to say that my experience at the property was, in many ways, very positive. The place is truly comfortable, pleasant, and exudes a tranquility that is greatly appreciated. It certainly delivers what you expect in terms of rest and relaxation. However, I must express my dissatisfaction with the additional electricity charge. During my stay, I was charged a total of 1,300 córdobas for electricity usage alone, which I consider excessive and unreasonable. This charge brought the total cost of my stay to approximately $500, when the initially expected price was $405. This significant difference creates a feeling of lack of transparency and affects the overall perception of the service. I think it's important to note that these kinds of additional costs are very expensive: $0.40 per kilowatt-hour. Too much

Dear Alejandro, As you know, electricity in Nicaragua in general, and in Gran Pacífica in particular, is very expensive. I can show you the electricity bills I pay so you can see the cost of the rate. Based on my experience of over 10 years hosting on Airbnb, if electricity isn't charged separately, guests tend to waste it and leave the A/Cs on all day, which significantly reduces the property's profitability! That's why we've decided to lower the daily cost of the house and charge for electricity separately! That has a twofold effect: initially, you pay less, and also the Airbnb fee isn't as high. Similar properties on GP cost $500 a night because they include electricity! I really appreciate your feedback, but this charging policy is intended to conserve a scarce resource and to pay less! Regards

A super nice, large, spacious house that easily accommodates a lot of people and the neighbors are far away, you won't have any problems with that. Equipped kitchen, clean and the large peaceful complex itself is quiet, we were able to go see the sunset at the beach, we were at the bar and the pool also at the hotel. Javier is flexible with check-in and check-out times and we loved that, and Katy was very friendly too. The electricity consumption is well specified and if you are aware of the use you will not pay much. We would definitely come back :)

Very happy to have visited Javier's house and excellent service from Katy, we liked it so much that we are already planning our next visit. Highly recommended, we had a great family time. Katy and her team impressed us with their work and attention.

The house does not meet expectations, in the group's opinion, it is overpriced, the photo of the pool is nothing like the reality, it is not maintained and small, in the bathrooms there was no shampoo, conditioner, there was no iron, hair dryer, there was no purified water, (the manager left one on her own) there was no paper towel or cloths to clean in the kitchen, the furniture is quite deteriorated, the charge is too high for the conditions of the house (we paid 285.29 dollars, in addition to that you pay entrance to the complex 36 US dollars and charged for electricity 40 US dollars, we think it is exaggerated for the short time we were at home, we arrived at 3:30 pm, we went to the pool, then to dinner outside the complex, we returned at 10 pm approx. And to sleep, we had breakfast and went to the pool, had lunch outside and then returned for the suitcases, there may be problems with the electricity, because 2 air conditioners did not work, and the charge for electricity is too much.

Muchas gracias por sus comentarios! Prefiero no tener clientes como Usted

Javier and Katy were both very attentive and extremely nice. I recommend renting a golf car for the day to ride with the family and get to know the many beach areas and enjoy the common areas available to take full advantage of the trip. The house has all what you need to cook your meals and the pool water felt warm and nice. This house felt like home. We slept good and we had a good time. An added value was flexibility with checking in and checking out.

Javier and Katy were very responsive and helpful. The house is big and beautiful. It could use more maintenance (A/C mainly so they cool more). All kw consumed during your stay are paid as extra but you can get a discount. You also pay a fee per person as part of entering the resort premises. The flexible check in and check out was super valuable. The garden is kept in well shape and beautiful. The outdoor grill by the pool was perfect. So overall I'd recommend it.
