Very nice Culinary Experiences

“The food on Calala Island was nothing short of amazing. Every meal was expertly prepared using fresh ingredients, and the Nicaraguan BBQ night stood out as a highlight. I was especially impressed by the variety of flavors, from the succulent fresh ceviche to the lovely tasting menu. Each dinner had a different theme and the quality was truly five-star.” view full review

Relaxation at Its Finest

“My time at the spa was a dream! I indulged in multiple massages from Doris, who probably gave the best massages I've ever experienced. The serene environment, coupled with her amazing skills, made each session rejuvenating. The tranquility of the spa area allowed me to relax thoroughly, making it a perfect escape from the everyday hustle.” view full review

Luxurious and Comfortable Rooms

“The accommodations were stunningly beautiful and perfectly incorporated the natural surroundings. I loved the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in my suite, offering nice ocean views. The outdoor screened shower was refreshing, and every detail, right down to the bedding and toiletries, showcased high standards that amplified the luxurious feel of my stay.” view full review

Fun and Adventurous Activities

“There was never a dull moment with the exciting activities available! I thoroughly enjoyed paddle boarding and participating in a unique fishing outing where we used local techniques. The thrill of catching fish with coconut and fishing wire was exhilarating, and later having the chef cook our catch was the icing on the cake!” view full review

Calala Island is an incredible retreat that's unlike any other. The breathtaking surroundings, high-quality food, and genuinely engaging staff made our stay exceptionally memorable. However, the trip to get there can be quite an adventure, which might not suit everyone, especially those with young kids or health concerns. Also, some minor accommodations issues could be addressed for an even better experience.
