Nicky’s place is the perfect place to unwind, relax, and forget about your responsibilities and worries. During a time of great sadness for my family, we found so much peace in her space. Nicky and her team made us feel incredibly welcome ; they were attentive, thoughtful, and treated us with the utmost kindness and respect. Their thoughtfulness truly touched us. They even left us a handwritten card and a sweet treat, which was such a kind gesture during a difficult time. El Coyol will always hold a special place in my family’s heart. A few things to note: * Bring plenty of cash if you plan on using transportation, chef, or grocery shopping services, as well as for tips for those who make your trip extra special. * You are completely surrounded by nature, which is what makes this place so special. It’s peaceful, secluded, and truly feels like an escape.

This is our 3rd time visiting El Coyol, and this past visit was as magical as our first visit. The location is beautiful, and so private. The staff is fantastic! Fabiola, whips up the most delicious meals and fresh juices during your stay. Nicky is super attentive and can provide you with local recommendations that enhance your stay, I’d recommend you don’t look any further…. Stay at El Coyol if you’re visiting Granada.

Calm and serene. A nice place to spend quality time with your closed ones. I personally feel like going again, stay there and do nothing (kind of my thing). You feels like right in the lap of nature.

El Coyol is beautiful and felt like a dream, but our stay comes with an important warning-especially for groups relying on all 4 bedrooms. The island was breathtaking, kind staff, Chef Fabiola's meals amazing, and Danny, our driver/guide recommended by Nicky, was great. During a 48+ hr outage affecting nearby islands, the generator did NOT power the pool villa. We lost 2 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms- no power, AC, lights or water- and the pool/lounge/gazebo side was dark at night. Our family of 5 squeezed into the main villa's 2 bedrooms for 48+ hrs with limited power and no AC. The water pump can't run on the generator; when its small reservoir emptied, we had several hours without running water. It later appeared discolored with very low pressure. No alternatives were offered. Even if rare, guests should know these backup limitations. This did not match the luxury private-island experience advertised. Compensation was <40% per affected night, which we felt didn't reflect our loss of use.

Staying at this Airbnb was an absolute dream. The location is simply breathtaking—set on a unique little island in the middle of the lake, it truly feels like a private paradise. Waking up to those views every day was unforgettable. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly maintained. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared to make our stay enjoyable. What really made the experience stand out was the incredible hospitality. The hosts were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, this place is a must. I would definitely come back without hesitation!

Our experience on this beautiful isleta was unreal. Truly an exceptional stay and I just could not get over the value for money. We were 3 couples and from start to finish Nicky went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. From meeting us at the marina to take us over on the boat, arranging massages and excursions, and being flexible as we went back and forth on what to book (conclusion: get the chef!). One thing we didn’t fully realize until we arrived is that the island is staffed. We opted to cook for ourselves the first night and were surprised when Julio started helping us clean up. The staff is lovely - friendly, polite, and under the radar. The home is gorgeous and they explained that many of the features are from reclaimed wood from the island - very cool and so thoughtfully designed! We were blown away! Both by the home and the beautiful ecosystem of the isletas. It was such a rejuvenating trip. I hope to be back one day!

Our stay here was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Nicky set the tone for a truly special experience. She is an extraordinary host - warm, proactive, and incredibly thoughtful. Her kindness and genuine care for her guests really shines through. The entire team was equally wonderful. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the place they help run. The meals were outstanding - fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. The property itself is a little slice of paradise. We are a family of three and stayed in the pool house. The decor, high quality linens, thoughtful layout and gorgeous tiles in the restroom are worth a special mention! Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, it feels peaceful, secluded, and deeply relaxing. Waking up to the sounds of nature and spending time in such a tranquil setting made it incredibly easy to unwind and slow down. Thanks for sharing it with us!
