Casa Marimba

The location is beautiful. Lots of plantings and places to relax. The best part was the morning sunrise swims in the lake, when the water was calm, listening to the birds and the howler monkeys. Rooms were comfortable (on the rustic side). The food was also quite good with a varied menu each day and vegetarian options. The staff were helpful and responsive by WhatsApp and arranged taxis and day tours. But it's also just a nice place to relax and take it easy. A few notes for other travelers - 1. There's no hot water (although there is A/C for an extra charge) 2. It's a small property so you will hear noise from other patrons and staff in rooms 3. There are quite a few stairs especially down to the dining area and water 4. Sometimes there was construction noise from next door.

The environment at casa marimba boasts tranquility and the staff are very accomodating and friendly. I was very pleased with my second experience at the restaurant, the first being dinner, the second being lunch. I enjoyed the tostones which I believe everyone should order for the table. Huge, filling and delicious. I asked for the meat to be cooked rare but it came well done which was a little bummer but overall quality was awesome. It was only $12 so I wasn’t too phased. Banana cake was beautiful and moist. Really recommend.

we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Marimba. The food served was excellent and the staff really was responsive to every need. It sits on a volcanic lake that is beautiful and great to swim in and there are many places to hang out at the resort and take in the beautiful views. Our only complaint is that the the hotel needs to install rugs on the top floors so you do not hear all the people walking above you. Also, if you will stay in the room with the veranda on the first floor, you will hear the noise from the reception next door. We hear there are plans to address this but it was a problem during our stay and kept us from giving this place a perfect score.

We came here for a day pass from Granada! We had a wonderful day at Casa Marimba. The food was ok, not great. There was a bit of confusion over if you had a space on "reserved" for the day pass or if it was a free-for-all. The beach is a bit rocky, but the lake is divine. It was very quiet and relaxing, which was great for us!! Highly recommend for a day pass.

Im yoga teacher traveling thru Latin America looking for places to host my next yoga retreat. I stumbled upon this hidden gem in lago de Apopyo. The property is intimate with a great staff & relaxed vibe. The food options are perfect for flexitarians & desert lovers. My favorite thing was the calala torte that I devoured before I could get a photo. I did slow down to capture this meal of tostones mixto. Definitely recommend this as a spot for couples, retreat groups, familys, or solo travelers needing some R&R. Looking forward to coming back with my group!!

Casa Marimba is a wonderful and peaceful place. Staff was very welcoming and kind during our stay. I specially loved everything about the food and the view is just breathtaking. Will definitely come back!
