Our family enjoyed this place so much! The house and cabins are beautifully decorated; the beds are comfortable; everything was so clean. Alam helped us coordinate additional services like  bbq and massages. The swimming pool and easy access to the ocean made our stay more fun. We definitely recommend Majagual.

Perfect stay with the group of friends with the That we went. Alam was very friendly and very attentive! Super helpful

Perfecta estancia con el grupo de amigos con el Que fuimos. Alam muy amable y muy atento! Súper servicial

This property is very beautiful and we had an amazing time with our family.  Alam and his staff  provided us excellent service and made our stay extra special.  This property and beach is so beautiful we chose not to leave the house for the entirety of our stay and we are planning to return as soon as possible.  If you plan to visit the road is challenging to get to the property, but well worth it.  Definitely recommend a 4-wheel drive.

if you have the opportunity to book at this place you must. this is one of the best places I have stayed in the country. very private and secure with your own beach access. the beach, the sand and the stay along with the service was excellent.

We celebrated my dads 70th birthday here and it was absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend enough. The beach is beautiful and there was plenty of room for everyone. We will absolutely return for another visit.

Beautiful beach. The staff is wonderful. They are very helpful and speak broken english. Neighbors got a little noisy on the weekend but overall great experience.

If you're looking for a slice of paradise, check out this breathtaking Airbnb in Nicaragua.

Wildlife abounds—colorful birds, playful monkeys, and sloths make it unforgettable.

Host Alam and his team elevate the experience with flawless hospitality. Alam answered all our questions, coordinated transportation, and organized a birthday celebration with cake and balloons for our group. Ramon, our friendly bartender, kept delicious drinks flowing, while Felicidad, the chef, delighted us with incredible meals thrice daily. Their warmth, attentiveness, and skill made the stay truly exceptional. This property isn't just accommodation—it's an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for an escape and cherished memories!

We recently enjoyed a stay at a spacious villa with direct ocean access and exemplary staff, especially our bartender, Javier, who was truly professional and charming. Initially, some amenities were not working, but the responsive team fixed these issues swiftly. The secluded location provides privacy and stunning ocean views, though it's a 15-minute drive to the nearest shops and cafes. The highlight was watching unforgettable sunsets and spotting a friendly sloth on-site! While the meals were decent, they didn’t quite justify the $100 USD per person price. Despite this, the serene setting and fantastic service make this villa a recommendable choice for a unique getaway.

Beautiful location, surrounded by nature and what feels like your own private beach basically. The host, Alam, was awesome! He took great care of all of us and even did our groceries! We hired a chef, Felicita, and it was the best decision ever. She made us breakfast, lunch and dinner and every meal was amazing! The whole staff at the ranch was extremely friendly, our bartender Ramon was great, he kept making us fresh juices everyday. Overall our stay was a 10 out of 10, zero complaints!

The trek to get to the villa , although challenging was worth it ! Alam, villa manager , was responsive to every request I had and made sure to make my large group was tended to beyond measure . He went above and beyond to make sure we had every single thing we needed. The villa is literal heaven and I cannot wait to come back ! Plenty of space for our group of 14 comfortably. We never ran out of things to do and felt like we were in home . Thank you Alam & staff for taking care of us all . Can’t wait to see you all again soon .

Thank you so much, Allison! I can't wait to see your entire family soon! 🎉 I'm confident the coastal road will be perfect for your next visit!

Ranch Majagual is in an excellent location surrounded by jungle and perfectly situated on one of the nicest beaches in the area. It really provides a nice but somewhat rustic “Nica experience”. All of the staff is helpful and pleasant. The facilities and sleeping quarters are somewhat spread out so that should be factored into your expectations. All in all an enjoyable experience for our family. Dave

We had the most amazing stay at Rancho Majagual! When we arrived, Alam and the staff were there to help with any of our needs. The people working on the property were all extremely friendly and helpful. The property itself is absolutely stunning. The team does an amazing job keeping it beautiful. The pool is perfect, we spent a lot of time in the pool and under the palapa. We brought our 6 month old with us and it was the absolute perfect place to have him. The private bar and casitas were perfect. We cooked dinner most nights and Ramon the bartender took EXTREMELY good care of us! I cant speak highly enough of him! He made us great cocktails, and we enjoyed spending time with him. The beach is beautiful, we had fun swimming in the waves. We enjoyed walking over to Juanita’s kitchen & the tortuga bar on the next beach south. We also walked down to Playa Maderas which was about a 25 minute (beautiful) along the beach walk. There is great surf here and bars/restaurants. We will be back!

This was by far the best vacation we have ever had.  The property was magical.  Alam and staff were so attentive and made the trip so memorable.  I can’t think of a better place to spend my 40th birthday.  Highlights of the trip were spending time in the cabana playing family games, walking the beautiful remote beach, body surfing in the waves and the catamaran ride. We will be back for sure!!

We had a great stay at Rancho Majagual. Very helpful and friendly host, anything you need, he’ll help you sort out. Same thing with the property staff. Here you’re surrounded by nature and treated to your own private beach. This place is a rare gem.

The Rancho Majagual team is unmatched. We hosted our wedding at Rancho and also stayed on the property for a few days pre and post event. The team is absolutely incredible - friendly, helpful. Top hospitality. The beach is essentially private, and once you arrive, you’ll never want to leave!

thank you so much! we appreciate your kind words!

Zoe's house is pretty magical and, in many ways, unlike any place I have ever stayed.  It is a private hotel with incredible service.  Every need we had was taken care of.  The houses are wonderful, the food is delicious, and the property is charming.  Remember that you are in the jungle, so we did see scorpions and spiders, but that was part of the fun.  You are also about a 15-20 min drive from town, so this is a place to "get away."  I would go back and am kind of planning a return right now.  I highly recommend!

The second we stepped foot at Rancho Majagual our expectations were exceeded, this place is an absolute dream! We booked this beachfront Airbnb for a special gathering with loved ones and it was beyond incredible. From the stunning view to the meticulous attention to detail, we have never been to a place more beautiful. The house manager Alam went above and beyond to ensure our special week was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting or accommodating hosts. The entire staff was attentive and so friendly, they attended to our every need. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a magical and serene getaway!"

Thank you so much Clinton for your compliments and appreciation of me, my staff, and our magic property!

Amazing amazing….Host is incredible and this place exceeded our expectations

This place was perfect for our large group and private weekend. The catered food was also excellent. You can’t go wrong with this location being right on a beautiful beach which is basically all to yourself.

Super easy to deal with the property manager Alam. He was responsive, helpful and always available if you needed him. Everything he promised before our stay/event (wedding) was completed to perfection. The buildings and grounds are stunningly beautiful and very well maintained. Being the only property on Playa Majagual you have total privacy, seclusion and feel as though you are in your own little world. The breakfast that was served each morning was great and the staff was accomodating to any requests. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and encourage you to go and have a look. Once you are there, it will be tough to find anything that compares.

It's a gem inside a jungle. The beach front ranch is the place to be. Loved the infinity pool. The beach is just beautiful, the waves were great and the water temperature perfect. Everyone on the staff is so gentle and helpful. And you can't get a better nicaraguan breakfast, that the one offered every morning. Absolutely loved the whole experience.

Had a great time. Wonderful staff. Beautiful place .

excellent beachfront place,spacious ,wildlife very good host super attentive in all our needs , we had a great time our whole family

excelente lugar frente a la playa ,espacioso ,vida silvestre muy buen anfitrion super atento en todas nuestras nesecidades ,la pasamos super toda nuestra familia

If I could have dreamed of heaven it would be a version of Rancho Majagual. From the moment I arrived I was blown away. Not only is the location a slice of tranquility and stunning nature it is also well thought out. The staff were so amazing I was trying to woo them away to live with me. The food was superb and Laura and Claudia the chefs impressed myself and my guests over and over and over. The attentiveness and constant care for my guests was extraordinary. I’m Almost afraid to write this review because I won’t to stay here again and again and for fear it being booked solidly from here on out. I will definitely be coming back to Rancho Majagual. I mean who wouldn’t...
