Finca del Sol Eco Lodge

We like eco lodges and stayed in several in Central America, but couldn't help being a bit disappointed with this one. I'm sure it was a very nice place once but it is a little run-down and somber.. We saw the personal doing works on other cabins, and restoring the roofs, let's hope they move on restoring interiors too. we got a last minute promotion about 30USD a night so it was OK. I don't think it is worth the full price, though That said, we enjoyed our time here, the forest is really nice and we always had a lot of butterflies in our garden. The location in the island is also great with 2 minimarkets, restaurants and motorcycle rental nearby.. And breakfast was delicious and includes fruit.

Half the bulbs are broken (noticed by the personal but no intention to change)..Water heater was "temporarily" broken (weather not as hot as Leon or Granada , so a little suffering in there :). Cleaning is made only in the main parts, the corners are full of dust To be fair spiders are really fast doing webs, still the dust accumulates. Run-down interior. Do not choose your room based on lake-view or mountain-view, you'll have none, the rooms are surrounded with forest, which is nice anyway. With luck and good weather you may be able to see the tip of the Vulcano.

Beautiful room

Close to the main area with the popular hostels and restaurants (10-30mins walking, few mins with scooter). Location ideal to explore both islands. In the middle of nature. Room was almost bug-free, considering the location this was superb. View of the volcano was amazing.

You can still here a bit of music from the parties at the Raindance hostel. Staff via WhatsApp was friendly and responsive, onsite we hardly spoke to anyone. They didn’t speak English and there were a lot of empty alcohol bottles behind one of the guards huts, which was a bit weird.

Good location close to everything you need in Balgue. Nice gardens and outdoor seating however property seemed unkept compared to the photos online.

Few wasps nest that need to be cleared right out the front of the door of the property. Needs some general maintenance it’s run down. Roof issues when it was raining, it was leaking.
