3BR Villa in Playa Gigante

Marlin Alejandra

Good, 3 weeks ago

The place is very nice, very clean, in a quiet area, and pleasant for resting. The only thing I suggest is that instead of the sofa bed, they should put a bed, since you can't really rest on a sofa bed. They have it as a third bed, and it's not really suitable for getting a good night's sleep. From there everything is perfect.

A lovely, unspoiled place with lots of nature and animals. The beach is spectacular. Very easy to find, just like in the photos, and the restaurant downstairs was open and they took good care of us. Villa Mariposa is highly recommended!

Hello Sarah, So glad you enjoyed Mariposa 🦋 We would love to have you back soon, thank you for your patronage! Regards, Martha

Martha’s villa is absolutely gorgeous! The views are amazing. There is one restaurant available on Aqua premises and it closes at 630, they ran out of gas our second night so I would strongly recommend buying food as the villa has a kitchen and everything you need available. Another option is delivery from a restaurant in a town nearby (7 min away). We did not bring a car so these things were definitely important. We would stay in this villa again.

Thank you so much Carmen, we so appreciate your stay with us. We would have provided transportation had we known you had none. My apologies. Glad you enjoyed Vila Mariposa 🦋 Come back soon!

Still on a high from our stay! Martha's place was everything we needed. The house is amazing, with incredible views of the ocean and private pool. We took advantage of the outdoor dining, as well as other scenic spots for our morning coffee. The communication were great. Martha and Karina were prompt in answering any questions we had or setting up services as needed (airport pickup, car rental, etc). Highly recommend utilizing Conchita-- she cooked many meals for us and was always super sweet with our kids. When we left, she already felt like part of the family. Oreste, the grounds keeper, was out tending the pool every morning and very prompt to handle the generator whenever the power occasionally went out (due to ongoing roadwork nearby). We came during rainy season (late June) and had only one day of true rain. Redonda Bay is pristine and a true gem. On many days, we had the entire beach to ourselves! While we explored other nearby areas, none were as clean as RB.

Thank you so much for choosing Casa Amici. So glad that you all throughly enjoyed the beauty of nature and the warmth of the hospitality. Views not bad either! Please come back soon , thanks for all your encouraging comments, duly noted. My best, Martha

We had an amazing week in Playa Redonda. Martha and Karina were able to recommend and arrange airport transport, scooter rental (delivered right to the home), and a wonderful masseuse. Plenty of nearby surf and fishing opportunity, or simply staying at the house with an incredible view!

Greetings Taylor and friends, thank you for your kind review, we are in agreement, Casa Amici and Redonda Bay are special. Please know we would love to host you again soon. Your helpful tips are duly noted too! Kind Regards, Martha

We stayed here for a week and absolutely loved this house. The views are amazing, the accommodations are great, and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, there were a few power outages that lasted several hours, which my kids did not enjoy. However, I understand that this was likely related to the road construction project, and I believe things will be running smoothly once the project is completed. Karina was very attentive and responsive to my messages, and she was always willing to help. The gentleman who works at the house was also very helpful and took care of any needs we had during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and would be happy to stay here again.

Thank you Yader and family! Casa Amici and the team are grateful that you enjoyed your stay and its incredible surroundings. We welcome you back hopefully real soon. Glad we have a generator for power outages! The construction of the new highway is almost done, because of it we are connected along the Pacific coast and all its amazing beaches. Hope you guys are home safe, thanks again! Martha

My partner and I (in our early 30s) spent 3 nights at Martha’s, together with another couple, on a surfing holiday. It was such a beautiful home. It looks just like the photos. It has a lovely outdoor pizza oven/coal bbq that worked perfectly to cook fresh Snapper from the market at El Gigante. The swimming cove nearby has to be one of the most beautiful bays on the coast. Martha couldn’t have improved on a thing - she and Karina (who manages the home) catered for our every need and were very communicative.

Dear Zoe! Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, it validates our passion for our Shangri-La retreat. Come back soon and thank you for recognizing our stellar team too:)

Hi Martha, it was a wonderful stay at your home. Your attention to detail and a well-equipped kitchen made the stay even more enjoyable. Thanks also for accommodating me regarding the power outage and the construction work… that was a bit of a challenge because I had to work. Otherwise, everything went well and smoothly. The hummingbirds in the garden with the white flowers are magical. 💕With love, Tamara Slight

Thanks Again Tamara, You were a delight to host, and a great sport! We would gladly welcome you back real soon. Thanks again for choosing Casa Amici. 🕊️

This house was a dream to stay at. The proximity to Redonda beach was a highlight. We only left the place one time in four days to check out Popoyo. The power did go out a few times, but they had a generator so at least we could keep the fridge running. My kids loved the pool, and we were lucky enough to see baby sea turtles released at the beach! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Nicaragua!

Host Response

Music to our ears, when we hear that our guests fully enjoy and experience nature at its best. So glad your family had a great stay and thanks for the pool toys!
