LAGUNA DE APOYO
*HOSTEL PARADISO* best place to stay
for sure a little paradise – ask for day tour shuttle to the hostel or stay there – even better
Best food I had in Nicaragua in a Hostel!
Special tip: Get up early to see the sunrise!
Maggie recommends: If you wanna chill out and get your energy back, stay at least 2 – 3 nights. You will love the chill atmosphere and the beautiful resort. Make a reservation – lately it’s booked out.
