Home

hotel brio is a small boutique hotel located in Playa Gigante on the spectacular Tola coast of SW Nicaragua.  We offer elegant rooms, restaurant service, as well as surfing and fishing tours, and Spanish classes.  The hotel complex is nestled on a private ocean-view ridge immediately behind Gigante Beach, which is  just 300 meters away. 

OUR doors opened to our first clients in January 2007.  We are offering deeply discounted room rates as we complete our first phase of construction.   The restaurant can seat up to 80 people, but currently is only open to hotel guests on a limited basis for breakfast and lunch.  All rooms have ceiling fans, and optional air conditioning will be available for some rooms in spring 2008.  We have (rare for the region) satellite internet service, as well as mountain bikes and surfboards for rent.  

ROOMS start at $25 & $30 per night for a single with $5 for each additional person up to three total.  The single base price is $15/night higher during Christmas, New Years, and Easter (Semana Santa) weeks. Reservations are encouraged, especially during the April to September high surf season, and during holidays.  Reservations can only be held with a 50% non-refundable deposit (Paypal/credit card, personal check, wire)

PHASE 1 at Brio includes five guest rooms, a restaurant/bar, and a couple apartments for employees.  Phase 2 (2008-2009) will include a swimming pool and at least six more guest rooms.

WE OFFER  surfing, fishing, and ecotourism (snorkeling) boat trips on an hourly or daily basis, as well as full tour packages via Costa Nica Expeditions.  Our boats are beautifully equipped (surf racks, fish fighting chair, stereo system with Ipod jack) and are anchored in the bay directly in front of the hotel. Escuela Bigfoot, led by long-time Nicaraguan language school Director Juan Delgado, is the only Spanish language school on the Tola Coast. 

IN GIGANTE and within 30 minutes walk enjoy deserted beaches, world class surfing, and fresh local seafood.  View howler monkeys and blue morpho butterflys in the Zacatan Ecological Rerserve, and see abundant tropical fish in the rock reefs that dot the headlands.
