Calala Island

Caribbean Coast


This is Nicaragua's most exclusive and expensive hotel, which is frequently booked out for private family vacations. When it's not exclusively reserved, you can book one of the six suites here, which are exactly what you'd expect for the price: gorgeous rooms with all-inclusive food and drink, great snorkeling, shimmering white beaches and wonderful sunsets.
