Es como una casita, está bonito y la vista al volcán vale la pena, es súper tranquilo y relajante la atención es muy buena el dueño es súper amable y las recomendaciones que nos hizo nos encantaron.
Es un poco difícil de accesar y cómo llegamos de noche nos costó un poquito por qué no hay señalamientos

Hands down one of the nicest places we stayed in 4 months traveling in Central America. The main house is in a gorgeous setting with views in all directions, of greenery, the volcano and the lake beyond. The room is big and comfortable and naturally well ventilated. One of very few places which actually had enough storage space! I loved the outdoor shower. The common areas are fantastic, and would have plenty of space to cook and eat for a big group. The pool is wonderful and the hammocks and multiple terraces are perfect for lounging day and night.
You probably need a 4x4 to access the property, but that is a good thing to have anyway to explore the region.
Breakfast was tasty but we were not given any choices or information of what we are going to have, which would be nice to express preferences or dietary restrictions. Besides breakfast, it works more like an Airbnb (fine, just be aware of it).
Some things need upkeep (the wooden slats in the rooms and the pool loungers for example). The place recently changed ownership, so I hope they keep it up and improve it!

The staff are really courteous although the day staff ignored my request of no salt in my food and a vegetarian option: one day he brought me meat in the plate. I enjoyed the general ambiance and the view.
I am grateful to the management for allowing a late check in.
The property is in urgent need of an upgrade: it’s smelling of mould (mold, fungus) all over and in my bathroom there’s a huge water damage patch that is heavily contaminated with mould and other pathogens.
Internet and electricity supply can be patchy. I couldn’t work the first day due to lack of internet connection.
Upon arrival the night guard was very corteous and helped me carry many pieces of luggage and told me about the “organic farming”, however the second and third day fumigation with highly poisonous insecticides was carried out.
The morning of the third day before check out I was already feeling very sick because of my dietary requirements not being met (I have salt and meat allergy, therefore I was sick from the second day’s breakfast which included meat and food with salt).
Then suddenly one of the staff members started to cut the grass raising a lot of toxic dust around. Since they had been spraying insecticides the toxic dust hit me very hard and I had to lay down at that point!
The management already agreed to keep some of my luggage in the common area until early afternoon, however he suddenly changed his mind and forced me to leave with all my luggage because the premises had been let out as a “whole house” and so they couldn’t keep my luggage what had previously been sold to me to be a “hall” or common area.
I’m still suffering from stress and physical sickness from this experience! I reserve my rights to seek compensation

the lodge is absolutely stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace over the volcano and it's beautifully designed. It's very quite and remote which I loved. The only thing was that there was no food available because the cook was on vacation and I didn't bring any food to cook myself. But the staff was very helpful and organised a shuttle to a restaurant close by. I had a fantastic time.

The location is amazing. The views and the tranquility in a green oasis is perfect to unwind. We forgot to bring our food and they helped us out without any hassle. The shared living area is a very relaxing place to chill after your walks or after a dip in the gorgeous pool.

It is the perfect place to get a breath from the city, the room and the service is quite comfortable. I'll definitely come back
Nothing to say here since everything was more than excellent

This is one of the best places we have been, and we have been traveling for more than a year. So peaceful and incredibly beautiful. A perfect view to the Mombacho forest, a lot of of Howlers and an extreme amount of fireflies in the evening. The pool is deep and refreshning. Finally, the owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Amazing scenery gives a relaxing vibe. Recommend this place fully without hesitation.
somewhat secluded, which is not a bad thing, but make sure to bring enough food. Ordering is possible but takes time

This is not a hotel, but a beautiful and private home. There are three rooms with a shared kitchen and living room. We booked all of the rooms so it was like having a private house in a beautiful location.
2.5 / 5.0
The cleanliness of the room was pretty good.
I didn't like the fact that there was no restaurant/food service, also there is no handrails for the steep stairs in the buildings, thus I thought is kind of dangerous. Also, there was no A/C in the room, which in summertime I think is needed. The pool has a very deep side, which I also thought it to be dangerous, specially if one is just relaxing.

great location on top of a hill with wonderful view of the Mombacho volcano - yet conveniently close to the city of Granada. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food they prepared for us upon request was delicious.
The access from the main road to the Hotel is a bit rough, but no problem for an SUV type vehicle.

amazing views in this lovely property. It’s so peaceful and you’ve got views of the volcano, Granada, the lake, and the surrounding jungle. We loved sitting on our terrace watching the sun set. The pool is nice, very refreshing, and the home cooked breakfasts and dinners were delicious! The room was beautiful and very comfortable, we loved the open air shower, and also the living space is really nice, we pretty much had it to ourselves. This is easily one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. The owners were very friendly and helpful, a few reviews commenting the owners weren’t present which is a bit odd - we personally were happy they gave us plenty of space and we had peace and quiet, but as soon as we needed anything they were very responsive and helpful.
be aware that it’s up a dirt track which might be hard to access in your own vehicle. make sure you bring snacks and wine/beers if you want them - there’s no shops anywhere nearby! Also you need to be fairly comfortable with creepy crawlies - there’s quite a lot, as you’d expect in this type of property and location, so be prepared!

the property is just beautiful! rooms are reaaaally nice! the entire house is a work of art. the food from the chef is delicious. the Pool is beautiful.
I was fairly compensated with an upgrade due to an inconvenience with the room.
they have 3 rooms and two of them look the same but have totally different views. according to the photos of Booking I rented one with an amazing view but they said I rented one with a view of ugly trees but the post the exact same picture for both rooms so I expected the one with the good view. The owner upgraded me for the inconvenience and the experience was amazing.

Perfect location, close to Granada, and yet isolated and serene. Our room with a private balcony had an amazing view of the Mombacho volcano. The owners were amazing and made sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail was unparalleled, and the ambiance exceptional. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We are so happy we found El Respiro. Truly a breath of fresh air.
We loved everything about it!

beautiful decorated rooms; amazing views! Great breakfast with eggs pancakes and fruits.
not allowed to use the kitchen to cook, while there are no restaurants nearby and they serve meals but for 15 usd per person, which is a too much for what you get.

We will be coming back again. The perfect weekend getaway. So relaxing. So beautiful. The staff is very friendly and professional. Roman even made us a fabulous dinner of sea bass, mashed potatoes, and a lovely blueberry cobbler. We slept peacefully and loved the whole experience. Next time we will do more hiking and adventuring - there is a lot to do here. We might even bring our kids and rent the larger house.

This place is amazing, beautiful views all around and secluded. Its nice and spacious and its true about the meals, the food is delicious. If you want to get away from everything then Respiro is the place to go.
The terrain can be a challenge if you don't have the right vehicle
4.5 / 5.0
the property is remote, quiet, relaxing. Perfect for anyone looking to get a true secluded experience surrounded by wildlife. Bring books. Games. Or just lay out by the pool. Data or Wifi are barely if at all available.
The wifi or your own personal data was impossible to get anywhere around the property unless you walked up to the owners personal house and that was a little embarrassing. Although when staying in such a remote location, I should have known better. Bring a book, and just disconnect. Which I did although I could not look up places to visit nearby or connect with family members. The morning of my last day, I managed to get data on my phone by sitting on the corner of the villa, by the stairs but other than that - it was impossible.
3.5 / 5.0
Nice big room and comfortable bed, with a great shower and lovely views. The owner cooked us a very tasty meal even though there is no restaurant.
It was too windy to have the slats open in the louvred doors, but that made the room very dark as there were no windows.
A couple of comfy chairs would have been nice.
