“First, let me tell you that we have really enjoyed staying at the Brio. Your crew is outstanding -- Juan, Luis, Maria are the ones we've had the most contact with, and they're fantastic. It's really nice being up here overlooking the ocean,..”

“You don't just learn Spanish at Escuela Bigfoot, you become part of the culture, the town, and most importantly, the family of Hotel Brio.”

“I'm back in the states now.  The experience in Playa Gigante was unforgettable, living in Hotel Brio and attending Escuela Bigfoot's Spanish language program.  Not only did we become very proficient in Spanish, we made lifelong friends with our teachers, Brio's staff, and members of the community.”

“It was a wonderful experience that I will forever remember...The Nicaraguan experience in Gigante is one not to be missed, I'll be returning to relax with all the wonderful people that I have befriended at Hotel Brio as well as everyone else in Playa Pie de Gigante.  Thanks again for everything Rob, I had an exceptional time there.”

“I am not sure if I thanked you for all your help in June.  Many thanks…Man, the students were really impressed by your place and the Gigante area.  They loved the fishing and just being at your place.”

“Everything was fantastic...Basically, there was nothing about my trip to Nicaragua that I didn't like.  And I am so happy I stayed at Hotel Brio and not one of the surf camps, as I had originally hoped...Thank you, and Juan, for helping me have a great vacation.  It turned out to be exactly what I wanted - good surf, a mellow atmosphere, and really, really great people.  I've already told several friends that if they are going to go to Nicaragua, they have to stay at the Hotel Brio.”
