Laguna de Apoyo Nicaragua

Laguna de Apoyo is a clean, blue, and thermally vented 48-square kilomenter body of water contained inside the crater of the Apoyo Volcano (think big warm clean lake!).
We drove there with the owners of the B&B where we stayed in Granada.

Casa Pasos Granada Nicaragua

We stayed in a lovely small Bed and Breakfast Casa Pasos right in the heart of Granada.



It is located at the lake end of Calzada St. This is one of the main streets in Granada, La Calzada (the paved road) leads from the Central Park in the center of Granada all the way down to the lake (Cocibolca).
The street is well lit at night and it only costs a dollar to catch a cab back to the B&B if you don't feel like walking.








Calzada is lined with restaurants, hotels, hostels and internet cafes and some blocks are closed to traffic.


The B&B is run by a young American couple, Shylow and Becky. They are charming and very hospitable. Anything you need they can help you with. 
They suggested some interesting restaurants that we may not have found on our own. Casa San Francisco which is their favourite romantic spot. 
They also suggested Las Colinas (The Hills) where we ate with our extended family on their last night in Nicaragua.


The house is located in a very safe area, but then Granada felt very safe as we wandered around town.
We had a car with us which was parked outside the house.


They have three very comfortable rooms available with free wi-fi, 24-hour security and a shared bathroom. 
We had the loft bedroom which has a small porch.




Breakfast is included in the $25 nightly rates. Shylow was doing the cooking while we were there and he is a great chef! 
The house is surrounded by fruit trees and other flowering plants.










You are free to use the great screened porch which has two hammocks, some rockers and my favourite, a hammock type chair where you can curl up with your book or laptop.


They have three dogs and have just rescued a beautiful orange kitten. It is such fun to have pets around when you are away from home.






It was fun being awakened by the roosters and having the loft room made it feel like you were waking up in aviary.

The house itself is constructed of beautiful Brazilian hardwood and locally sourced tile. All of the furniture is brand new, top quality and handmade in Nicaragua. The main floor features a great room with an open kitchen, a dining table that seats eight and a living space perfect for conversation and games. The main floor veranda features an additional dining table with a view of the bay that is ideal for coffee, breakfast, lunch or an evening drink as the sun sets. The veranda also has rocking chairs and lounge chairs for whatever matches your mood. The kitchen features brand new appliances and is made for entertaining. The bunk room is a great place for kids with beds for 6 (3 twins and 3 trundles), a full bathroom, double doors to the veranda and plenty of room to lounge, hang out and watch movies.
