Morgan’s Rock

Morgan’s Rock Hacienda & Eco-lodge is a luxurious hotel consisting of 15 deluxe bungalows set in the middle of a 1,800-hectare property on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua, 25 minutes away from the beach town of San Juan del Sur. The Eco-lodge includes an 800 hectare nature reserve of tropical forest, a seasonal sanctuary for many types of animals, an animal farm, and 1,000 hectares of reforesting tree-farms specialized in native tropical species.

This property hosts a variety of animals such as howler, spider and capuchin monkeys, sloths, white tipped deer, other mammals and reptiles as well as many native or migrant birds. The beach is a nesting ground for sea turtles between July and January.

Most guided tours at Morgan’s Rock support local community members and help the conservation of the forest and the acquisition of more land to be conserved and reforested. Morgan’s Rock is more than a luxury hotel; it’s a concept unto itself, a project of nature conservation, community development and reforestation that aims to be a model for eco-tourism in Nicaragua and Central America.

All 15 bungalows feature one king size bed, a comfortable queen size sofa bed and a private deck equipped with a hanging bed. The bathrooms feature two sinks and a solar heated shower. Each bungalow faces west over the ocean, for maximum enjoyment of the stunning sunsets that this part of the world experiences. The surrounding forest adds indispensable privacy and peace to each unit. While they have been soundly designed to offer shelter from rain, sun or wind, each bungalow breathes nature.

At Morgan’s Rock, various culinary specialties are offered, giving the guest a taste of fusion between Nicaraguan, Central and South American, French, and Asian cuisines. Because Morgan’s Rock is a functioning hacienda, a large majority of the food is produced on the farm, while all the fish served in the restaurant is caught by local fishermen. Meals rotate daily, focusing on garden-fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh seafood, chicken and meat. A full service bar offers local fruit juices, tropical cocktails, wines, spirits and beer.

Vacationing at Morgan’s Rock is an immeasurable experience for the whole family, from fishing to nature walks to mountain biking, or horseback riding through the property. And of course, playing or relaxing for endless hours on the hotel’s private beach, enjoying life’s simple pleasures and of course, that magnificent sunset.
