Villa Ohana provides a one of a kind vacation experience. We really enjoyed the location (close to Rancho Santana’s main hub, 3min walk to the beach, incredibly scenic views). Gloria and David who help meticulously maintain the property were very friendly and helpful. Gloria is an excellent cook so definitely inquire about her when staying. James was a very responsive host who helped out when we needed it. Definitely recommend getting the Rancho Santana resort passes so you can use their resort services on demand (rides to and from airport, great restaurants, tours/excursions, surf rentals, etc). Would (hopefully will) stay again!

We had a wonderful stay.  James was amazing throughout from planning our arrival from the airport to helping with suggestions on where to go and what to do.  David and Gloria were the greatest.  Gloria cooked us fabulous meals and David helped if we had any questions with the home or the surrounding area.  Villa Ohana was a great location, and very peaceful.

Villa Ohana is the hidden gem of the Rancho Santana property! We stayed there for a week for a friend's wedding at the resort and we were so pleased with our stay. The delightful walking path shortcut that leads directly to the resort for meals / massages was amazing. The wedding itself was right in the main grassy area at the resort, so we were able to sneak away and jump in Villa Ohana's pool in the middle of the wedding to cool off and get right back without being caught 😂. David and Gloria the caretakers of the property are amazing, always available to help with anything you might need. The rooms were all great and well kept. A/C's worked perfectly too! James the property manager was super responsive and helpful with any and all questions we had prior to the trip (I had A LOT 😬). 10/10, stay here. You're never gonna wanna leave the pool.

Great location!! Very responsive and helpful host. We had a wonderful time living on the beach for a week and still being within walking distance to food and a local bar/beach club. Would definitely come back!

Our group of 8 (2 families) had an amazing stay at this home. Home is beachfront, directly in front of Colorados surf break and 2 min walk to Pilis restaurant, 7 min walk to panga drops. James was a great host and very responsive and helpful with any questions. Would stay here again for sure - great trip!

Santuario del Sol: 4br w pool RIGHT at Colorados - Houses for Rent in Tola, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

We loved our stay. The house is very spacious and clean, the view is absolutely amazing. All glass wall makes you feel like you are already outside. We have stayed in 4 different beach front properties in Iguana and this house is our favorite for sure! James replied to our questions right away and was a great host.

Absolutely amazing experience staying at window in Las olas. 2nd time visiting hacienda iguana and I didn’t think it would be possible to top our first trip but we decided to stay at a different house and boy, this place exceeded our expectations - very clean, spacious, and directly in front of Playa Colorados. Highly recommend doing a catering option for food if you’re traveling with a group of people… ask for Martha! James was so easy to work with and we all are excited to book again next year!

Very nice place. Friendly and helpful staff. Keep available more Paper towels for kitchen and some basics, like sugar, salt, pepper, oil, etc. All else fantastic.

Very nice and stylish little studio apartment. You will not find a better location for accessing the surf and beach club. It has a good kitchen, able to cook most meals so stock up on food on your way through.

Window in Las Olas: Colorados Surf Break (max 2) - Cottages for Rent in Rivas Department, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

Unbelievable location. Right on the beach in front of an amazing break. House is open and beautiful.  Perfect indoor outdoor living.  Just absolutely beautiful.  We had an amazing week and fell in love with the community there.  It’s a very special place and James is an excellent host- very responsive. We hope to be back!

James was a great host, he was super responsive and helpful. The house had an amazing location and the view was incredible.

The best location if you are advance, Expert surfers! Hands down🙌 the world class breaks call Colorado, Panga Drop. Also they can arrange a panga to take you to Lance's left(longest left break) for $200. This iguana community has shops, a gym also. Pay $15 for a group workout with an instructor. Pay $10 for self workout. The house was easy to find and super clean, beautiful, right on the beach and a pool. But just be careful from sand fleas during sunrise and sunset time....there are tons out there! Bring bug spray. There are so many places to eat around this house, also this house comes with full kitchen and BBQ grill, but wish had basic condiments, like olive oil, salt, pepper, paper towels, sugar etc.... We really enjoyed staying at this house. Super tranquilo😊

It has been the second time at Jame’s place and once again everything was amazing! Staff working there amazing, friendly and always available to help. Stronfly reccomended!!! Hacienda Iguana is a gem!!!!

Amazing place, super clean and staff super available!! Super!

La casita fue un sueño, muy cómoda, perfecta para dos personas, la piscina es muy agradable, todo estaba limpio y el equipo de limpieza es súper amable y atento ☺️ Tips para Iguana: Hay varias playas aconsejo pedir un mapa en la oficina central, la comida del Beach club es la mejor, ojo con pedir mucho porque son platos para compartir. La comida es buena más no excelente hay lugares cercanos fuera del resort que son mejores :) ame la experiencia!

Loved it! Thanks so much hope to come again
