Morgan's Rock

Morgan's Rock pulls off an amazing feat of being a sustainable ecolodge surrounded by untouched nature while also providing the comforts of a luxury hotel. The design of the rooms is beautiful and allows the sun and breeze (which is strong sometimes) to circulate, which is a very unique experience. The bed is super comfortable and the water pressure and hot water in the bathroom were perfect. If you haven't stayed in an ecolodge before you should consider that there are bugs (including scorpions) in this type of environment. The few bugs that made it into our room didn't bother us, and our room was kept immaculately clean throughout our stay. The beach setup was a real standout for me, with more than enough shaded cabanas equipped with hammocks, swings, lounge chairs and tables for all of the guests. You can also order food and drinks from the beach. The water was calm one day and rough the next day, so be careful if you plan on swimming. The pool is gorgeous and an idyllic place to relax. There's also a shaded lounge area near the pool, which is a huge plus to take a break from the sun. Room selection is important here, as the villas are built going up a hill from the beach. The higher the room number, the higher it is up on the hill. I think our room (15) was the highest and the view was incredible. We saw the national bird of Nicaragua right outside our room in the morning, along with 4 white-faced capuchins who were hilarious. Our room was about a 15 minute walk up stairs and across the suspension bridge to the lobby and restaurant. The food is very good, but the menu is relatively limited. If you have specific dietary needs I recommend reaching out to the hotel in advance, as they are very accommodating. Junior was an excellent bartender and there were plenty of options for wine and cocktails. There is no store or anything within walking distance once you arrive, so you should pick up anything you definitely want to have during your stay on the drive from the airport. Our driver Jason kindly stopped at a convenience store that had coffee, snacks and drinks. The staff at Morgan's Rock are really outstanding and they made our stay so comfortable and fun. In addition to Jason and Junior, Abraham, Henry, Bismach, Carlos, Sylvia and Federico were all outstanding. My husband and I speak very limited Spanish and they were extremely kind and understanding. This was our second trip to San Juan del Sur and we'll definitely be back!

Go ahead and book it. You’ll be happy you did. It is a gorgeous setting. The rooms and villas work well to keep out any bugs. The AC over the bed works very well if you like to sleep in a cooler environment. The beds are lovely. You get the kind of sleep only found in a fresh air environment. We found the night sounds to be quiet and peaceful. The morning had bird and monkey songs. The water is a gorgeous blue with rocky and jungle coastline. The food is delicious and the staff is very helpful despite our limited Spanish. Shout out to Federico for grabbing us at the airport (super easy to set up) and Huber for making sure our stay is magical. The place seems family friendly but is large enough to have lots of peace and quiet for a couple. The grounds include a gorgeous pool and the coolest suspension bridge.

We stayed 4 days as part of a wedding event and were blown away. Morgan's rock is beautifully located overlooking the sea, the villa we stayed in was clean and comfortable (not to mention nicely designed), the food was excellent. The staff were all friendly, responsive and overall made our time there so enjoyable. Their committment to sustainability is admirable and should be taken as an example. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely hidden escape that feels remote but safe and welcoming. We celebrated a wedding with friends and it was festive, relaxing, exciting (surf lessons), and all with great weather and excellent service. Food is tasty, rooms well appointed, staff there to help. Thank you!

We stayed at Morgan’s Rock for over a week. The bungalows are breathtakingly beautiful. Our bungalow was one situated up on the hill we were able to hear and see the wildlife in its natural form. We were overlooking the jungle staring straight at the sea. Sea views in front and the bay to our right. We enjoyed our infinity pool during the day and relaxing on the beach in the afternoon watching the sunset. We went on the sloth and monkey safari and was not disappointed. We went hiking up the hills on foot and on horseback. The service was great and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend a visit if you ever find yourself in Nicaragua.
