Morgan’s Rock is a true hidden gem. Surrounded by lush natural forest, it offers an incredible blend of nature, comfort, and authenticity. The service and food are outstanding, and every detail is thoughtfully curated. One of the highlights of our stay was snorkeling with local fishermen—an unforgettable experience that allowed us to connect with the local community and the stunning coastline. A perfect destination for those seeking tranquility, nature, and genuine hospitality.

An amazing get away. Away from everything. It is a bit isolated but I personally loved that. It has a private beach, restaurant, and bar. The rooms and views are stunning.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The rooms and facilities are beautiful and the staff very generous with their time and very friendly. The rooms are very nicely appointed and the views stunning. We had a private monkey and sloth tour, which was really cool. The downsides are that the lodge is isolated so you are a captive audience for an absurdly expensive menu for lunch and dinner. In addition, the lobby can be up to a 10 minute walk up and down a lot of steps from your bungalow, making it a small trek every time you want to get to the lobby. It's very expensive by Nica standards overall and, while beautiful, don't expect an "authentic" experience.

fantastic property, at a reasonable driving distance from San Juan del sur, and near 2 beautiful beaches. has its own de facto private beach, which is amazing. super friendly staff, excellent restaurant. the setting is exceptional: my room was isolated in the hill, with a private pool and had incredible views in all directions. would definitely return.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful and quiet place to be close to nature and relax. Only consideration is that you need to be able to climb some serious stairs to get to some of the cabins, so if you have issues with this, better to ask the staff before reserving.

8/10 Very good

Amazing views, nice private beach and not a lot of people which makes it relaxing. Getting to the place is a bit rough; need to drive around 10km of dirt road. I understand the eco thing going on but, very little privacy in the rooms and extremely noisy at night and in the morning due to the insects and birds. Staff is very friendly!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent balance of luxury and immersion in nature. Key things to know: stunning beach where we never saw more than 2 other guests, the cabanas are open to the wind and sounds of nature but the way they are secured with screens and sealed doors resulted in zero insect visitors (and the wind and cooling unit over the bed provided for a very comfortable temp), and there will be a need to traverse many steps throughout the day. Lastly, the views here are unlike anything we’ve experienced before. If you want a stunning tropical sunset then you can’t do better than Morgan’s Rock

This was the most incredible place I’ve ever been! Everything was absolutely perfect! I even popped my tire and they took it to town and fixed it. They gave us rides when it was raining. The set up th most amazing tours! The rooms. The views. Everything perfect!

Magnificent

There are sextrillion stars in the universe, more than every grain of sand on earth, I would give them all to this Eco lodge. Morgan's Rock is the best Eco lodge in Nicaragua for those who are seeking peace and quiet and unique. I want to express a special mention about the staff. The staff members service is exquisite. The passion of their work is reflected through the smile they all have. I'm beyond grateful and privileged to experience their lovely work. Morgan's Rock without that kind of staff would be like any other place.

Pros Amazing, gorgeous, breathtaking private beach with palm trees and white sand, kayaks, hamacs, private spaces for each family. Room concept is really cool, no walls, just screens, we had the forest view one and really enjoyed the plunge pool with the kids. Would recommend this one with kids, it’s close to the main area and they liked the pool. The bed was really comfortable and the room felt new and clean. Employees go above and beyond, my son got sick and they gave us electrolytes and sent a cleaning crew after dark to pick up vomit. Security took care of us at 2:00 am for our luggage to the airport. Breakfast is included and pretty good. There are hiking trails onsite where you can find monkeys. The pool comes with a spa, heating it would’ve been nice but it was still appreciated. Massage service is available but pretty expensive, like all the amenities. Cons We paid 150$ usd for a one hour tour that we could’ve done by foot. Food was crazy expensive and good but nothing spectacular, 50-70$ usd for a plate in Nicaragua is insane. We recommend the pizza for lunch which is the only more affordable option (20 USD per pizza, feeds about 1 person) Airport shuttle was 288$ usd, we took our own for 85$ usd. A fridge in the room and black our blinds would be good additions. I would still absolutely recommend this hotel but bring your own car so you can eat out and do tours. It’s only 20 minutes from the main city of San Juan Del Sur. We will return (with a rental car)

8/10 Very good

Morgans Rock was one of the two hotels I had researched. I wanted to get away from the crowds, be out in nature and Morgans Rock fit. Choosing Morgans Rock turned out to be a good decision. I arranged roundtrip airport transportation through the lodge, and the driver was waiting for us with cold water. The property was very well landscaped and between the size of the property and private beach the place felt very exclusive. I booked Villa #2 for my mother and me so that we could have our own spaces and still be close. Each villa was a mirror image of the other and had an outdoor deck/ seating and a plunge pool. The rooms were like large studios with their own entry, sitting area, and a bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers. A few issues we ran into were: the locks on the doors were faulty, there was water leaking from the ceiling, and the thatched roofs had holes that let rain in. Despite these issues, the staff did an amazing job of making up for them. The bartenders made good drinks and had great conversations. The lodge has Spa and tour services available onsite with an amazing masseuse and tour guide. Even with the needed improvements the place was very nice and enjoyable.

The place was amazing itself but there’re crabs everywhere around the property due to hurricane season. The breakfast was amazing. I book a private dinner the dinner was amazing. The room was great but there too many crabs in the property that ruined the experience.

My safe box was broken in and $500 was stolen. The general manager only gave me a credit for $250 on an open bill we had in the restaurant to compensate some of the loss.
