An exceptional, tastefully decorated place with all the amenities in a unique setting. Excellent communication with the property. Everything was a 10.
Location is good but the place needs a lot of maintenance.
Host Response
Your drunken behavior was despicable. You treated our staff poorly. You were rude to security. Fix your alcohol problem.
Casa Teka is one of our favorites at Hacienda Iguana. It’s not far from the restaurants and the beach club, it’s a great spot to relax with family or friends.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house was spectacular, and my children had the best time. There was truly everything we could possibly need right there, so we didn’t even have to leave the property. The house is even more beautiful in person than it looks in the photos—which is saying a lot! Everything was exactly as pictured, and the entire place was beautifully maintained, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped. One of the highlights was having monkeys visit us during our stay! It was such a special and unforgettable experience for the kids. 🐒❤️ We loved the privacy, the beautiful surroundings, and how peaceful and relaxing the whole experience was. It felt like a little piece of paradise. The kids were so happy, and honestly, so were we! This is definitely one of those places you leave already wanting to come back. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, family-friendly getaway. Thank you
Beautiful and modern house in the middle of the golf course. Just a few minutes away from Panga Drops and Colorados for amazing surfing. Raúl, the manager, was incredible. He provided magnificent and quick problem solving. We will definitely repeat Teka House.
Casa Teka exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with family. What truly made our stay special was the hospitality. Raul was incredibly kind, attentive, and responsive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The home is exceptionally well-equipped, especially for cooking and hosting larger families or groups. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the spacious common areas made it easy for everyone to gather, share meals, and create great memories together. We loved every minute of our stay at Casa Teka and were genuinely sad to leave. It’s one of those places that feels special from the moment you arrive. We are already looking forward to coming back in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable getaway ✨
Great place very relaxing location!!! Recommend if you are trying to relax close to the city!!
Excellent experience. The host was very attentive and always willing to help, making the stay easy and enjoyable. The space is comfortable, and cozy, with a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Highly recommended.
An excellent place! Very nice and clean. Raúl, the host, was very kind. The place is superb if you want to stay in this beautiful location without being near the busiest part of Hacienda Iguana.
Beautiful house, would stay there again and again in the future to come.
Excellent service, very good support. The perfect atmosphere for rest. Recommended
Loved it! everything went smoothly. It does require a little maintenance like painting and that but the room, beds, bathroom everything was clean. Joel was a great host. Loved it!
!) There is a lack of privacy in that studio. Window facing the street with no possibility of closing any privacy curtains. 2) It is somewhat uncomfortable to have a pool maintenance person right next door, walking around our hallway and by our door, and making noise in the maintenance room next door. 3) The hallway is not lit at night.
I liked the apartment; it was comfortable and centrally located.

You didn’t request a king size bed. The listing is clear. If you want king sized beds you’re more than welcome to pay for the main house.
Beautiful expansive home in Hacienda Iguana. The house is right on the golf course with its own pool and boche ball court. The 2 studios are not included in the rental but the available beds can sleep up to 8 guests. The studios are rented separately. Playa Colorado is about a 5-10 minute walk. The beach is ideal for surfing. It’s a little too rough for swimming but there is a beachside pool. We loved the beachside cafe Pili’s Kitchen. For dinner service we walked across the golf course to the sushi restaurant which had the most amazing sushi roll ai’ve ever had-fried calamari roll…delicious. Overall, the house is great for a family or group of 8. The community offers various activities and dinning options.
Joel's place, Casa Teka, was truly wonderful. The layout of the rooms worked well for our group of 8 (2 families of 4). We spent most days in the pool, on the bocce court, in the hammock, on the rooftop terrace and sunning in lounge chairs. The weather was perfect, with a constant breeze that tempered the hot sun, and indoor air conditioning made sleeping comfortable. The cleaning and landscape staff were friendly and discreet - they kept the property in excellent condition throughout our stay. Raul, our concierge, was very helpful with booking restaurants, acupuncture, massages, and more. Cars were easy to rent and Brenda, our daily cook, was lovely - her meals were family-friendly, healthy and tasty. The beach, volleyball, pickleball, cafes, small shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance or a short golf cart ride away. The golf course was never busy, and leaving the community for day trips was easy and enjoyable. We felt safe and had a highly relaxing vacation!
This is my second time visiting and I was just as delighted as the first time. The service is excellent and the house is beautifully decorated. The house was so clean that we sometimes bumped into the sliding doors 😅
Beautiful stay, loved the area, we are already looking forward to being back!
We really enjoyed staying at Casa Teka. The house is beautiful and very spacious and it’s well equipped. The WiFi was really good and It had everything we needed. Raul was super responsive and helpful which made our stay even better. Can’t wait to be back at this property again 🤩
We loved casa TEKA and its beautiful architecture. You can walk to the beach, and the service and communication were perfect, always available and really friendly.
All areas of the house are clean and tidy, including the pool and patio. The view of the golf course is beautiful, there are good restaurants and convenience stores, the cleaning staff and the host were very attentive throughout the stay. A place I would definitely return to.
The place is just like the pictures, clean and tidy and the staff who received us were very friendly. It's clearly a place we'd go back to ☺️
A cozy and beautiful home, very clean and well maintained. Although we didn’t spend much time at the house, everything was great and we had a good overall experience.
Everything excellent as always. We love the space :)
Cute space! The mature landscape helped keep the heat down. Peaceful surroundings. ⛳️🌊✌️
Super clean and cozy place. Everything was perfect. Will definitely stay again!😁
I loved staying at this place. The house has a very beautiful and original architecture, and is surrounded by nature, which made the experience very peaceful and relaxing. What I liked the most was the privacy, ideal for disconnecting and resting without noise or interruptions. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely go back and recommend it if you're looking for a nice and quiet place to spend a few days.😊
Excellent house, everything perfect, I definitely recommend it and I will be back!!!
The place was perfect! Just like it looked in photos. Out host was very attentive. We will definitely be going back.
Everything was excellent! Very good service and a nice place
Very nice and cozy accommodation. Very good location. Good choice
We loved the service, friendly staff and everything is very clean, the house is equipped with everything and is super comfortable.
The house is very comfortable, modern and is very well equipped. We felt very well cared for throughout our stay. We definitely recommend it and would definitely come back!
Love the stay! The place is super nice, comfortable, surrounded by trees, they welcomed us super friendly, and attentive! We felt right at home,❤️ the beach is close by. Everything was great!
An amazing place, the house is beautiful and very clean, with a gardener and housekeeper who helped keep it impeccable. The beach had a restaurant with a swimming pool for the public and also has an estuary nearby. We have a great time
Host Response
Nancy and family were fantastic guests. We appreciate how neat and clean they kept Teka. We’d love to have them again.
This is a MUST stay Airbnb! I have been on the app for ~10 years and this property is hands down the best I’ve stayed in. Thank you to Joel, David, and Raul! I can’t wait to be back.
Casa Teka was a splurge for our family but it was worth every penny. We had LOTS of room and the space is gorgeous and very well maintained. Whenever we had an inquiry it was answered VERY quickly. The housekeeper, Lupe, was incredibly kind and so thorough in her cleaning. Also the landscaper/pool cleaner made sure to keep the exterior looking its best. This space is located in a gated community so it is very safe and quiet. But on the other hand it’s not as close to those more authentic Nicaraguan experiences. The beach is stunning and there are some services available nearby. Thank you, Joel, for the wonderful stay.
Fantastic guest house. Perfect location to get to the beach or to the stores on foot.
Our stay in the house was very good, the house was very clean and we were provided with everything we needed to be comfortable. We really liked that every day they came to clean the pool and its surroundings. Also any questions, the host would respond minutes after the message was sent to them. The house itself was very nice, and all the rooms were very complete with very good beds and full bathrooms. We would definitely stay in this house again!
The house is super cute! It is located in a spectacular area, just 5 minutes from the beach on foot. The cleaning staff is very friendly and efficient, and they are always in a position to help, which makes it possible to use the time in resting and not washing dishes or cleaning etc. When we stayed there were power outages (throughout the area), but in the house there is an emergency power plant that helped us solve the situation. In general, the place is very well kept.
A unique and different property with architecture that fits with the surrounding nature. Great golf course views that make the sunrises unique.
Simply Perfect!! Super spacious house, cute, tidy, clean, comfortable, complete, perfect for going in Familia.
It was a great place for a family of three to stay. The whole family was satisfied, and I especially liked the quiet part.
Absolutely loved the place! Very peaceful and quiet. I’m definitely going to book this same place or the main house next time I visit Nicaragua. Ignacio was so kind and helpful. Muchos Gracias
A very good place to rest and spend time quietly. Everything was really good during the stay there. Very comfortable, clean and very pleasant.
beautiful area, the location is perfect for surfing colorados. the space looks like the photos. could be a bit cleaner and better maintained. nothing wrong with it, but nothing great. large bed was very squeaky, small bed is concrete firmness. no outdoor seating or much exterior to see through the windows. which is puzzling given how nice the area and surrounding nature is.
Casa Teka is located in a golf community right along the beach. The house was great: clean, well stocked with cooking supplies, and meticulously maintained every day by housekeeping and landscapers. There are three bedrooms, two of them are separated from the kitchen/living area. There are two additional apartments that have their own kitchenettes. The area around the house was also great: quick and easy access to two markets, several restaurants and bars, the beach, and even a spa! We had the luxury of renting a golf cart from Ignacio which helped a great deal. The entire Iguana area is accessible by cart. Finally, there is Ignacio, who checked in on us regularly and offered many recommendations on things to do in the area. Responses were always minutes away and we greatly appreciated everything he helped us with. The house and area were great, but Ignacio was really the star of the reservation. We did have a few blackouts, but there is a generator onsite now. Great stay!
Ignacio and Joel were responsive and accommodating on short notice. They were very helpful and helped me out of a scheduling jam with hotels. Thank you, much appreciated!
Everything excellent, I would think it is one of the best options in Colorado if you are traveling alone or as a couple. The house is super well located, 3 minutes from the club house and also the restaurants. Ignacio attended us super well and was attentive to any questions.
Big house. Bedrooms are far from each other, so no one disturbed anyone. The kitchen is large with dishes, we came to clean the next day. Bed linen there is a bathroom, and there is shampoo and conditioner and soap.
The house is beautiful, much better than the photos. Super well equipped and clean! We had an issue with one of the air conditioners, but Ignacio was always on the lookout to help and resolve the situation. There are a lot of issues with the light cuts in the area, we were without light 24 hours at a time but it was not merely the house problem. I would definitely come back. It's a spectacular place!
Excellent place for a small family or couple. Everything very clean and clean. The host is very nice. I would go back any time.
Really great and well kept space that was perfect for our stay. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom w rain shower, really great AC and kitchen with all you need - all amenities up to date and nice. Walking distance or a short drive to the beach, restaurants and golf course. The community is private and very safe. Both Paul and his co-host were awesome communicators and the house was beautiful. Will be back!
A Gem in the middle of Hacienda Iguana. Communication and check-in were flawless. Highly recommended!
The house was nice. The rooms were clean, they have a sound system to connect phones and a grill with gas, so there is no need for charcoal.
I was family and we had a great time. We enjoyed a lot of all areas of the house. The fully equipped kitchen, impeccable cleanliness, the perfect pool area for a family asado. And the rooms each with a private bathroom, which allowed for a perfect space and rest. And the best thing, close to the beach! Ignición greeted us, and responded quickly. Attention 20 of 10.
