Morgans Rock

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

Morgan’s Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge is more than just a hotel or luxury resort. It is a unique and natural haven for the true traveler who is looking for a touch of luxury while enjoying the adventure and excitement of an exotic and tropical destination. But most importantly, it is a project of nature conservation, community development and reforestation offering Agro and Ecotourism at its best.

Enjoy the solitary companionship of one of Nicaragua ’s most beautiful beaches while slipping back into your spacious private bungalow overlooking Pacific sunsets and tropical wildlife. Remind yourself how to play with time while working with nature.

Enjoy doing nothing more than refreshing in our infinity pool or delighting on a freshly caught Red Snapper. While you're playing with time, turn back the clock and discover interesting historical facts, pertaining to the area surrounding Morgan’s Rock. From the highest point of the hacienda you can actually see where the proposed Nicaraguan Canal would have met the Pacific Ocean . Today the actual canal crosses through Panama and hence the name, "the canal that never was".

And, if you enjoy working with nature, there are plenty of opportunities to feel the abundance of nature and most importantly help preserve this living spectacle for many generations to come. We invite you to be active and learn about our local ecosystems, the animals living in the tropical dry forest, Morgan’s Rock's inspiring reforestation and tree farming projects and agriculture typical for this region.

Morgan’s Rock Hacienda & Eco Lodge is part of a 1,000-hectare tree farming and reforestation project as well as an 800-hectare private nature reserve which is actually one of the last, large natural sanctuaries along the Pacific Coast of Central America. The conservation of this area is crucial for maintaining the habitat of the animals living in this region. During the past five years, almost 1.5 million trees (both hardwood and fruit), have been planted in these lands, to avoid deforestation of primary forest by providing the world market with certified woods, and at the same time hoping to return some of them back to the ecosystem they once used to be. These reforested lands, together with the nature reserve and the estuary, host a variety of forest animals such as howler monkeys, sloths, white tipped deer and many birds native to the subtropical region. The beach is a nesting ground for giant sea turtles and during your stay. This entire property is yours to enjoy and explore with our guides.

Location

Morgan’s Rock is located near the town of San Juan del Sur, which lies just north of Guanacaste , Costa Rica , south from the colonial city of Granada and about two hours and a half from the city of Managua , ( Nicaragua 's capital).

The bungalows - a natural lodging experience

Almendro, caoba, cedro, eucalipto, guapinol, laurel y nogal… beautiful sounding Spanish names that have been worked into the structure of the Morgan’s Rock’s bungalows. The latter are all tropical woods that were used to build the fifteen bungalows at Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge. All proceed from responsibly managed logging sources or tree farming projects in Nicaragua, ensuring artistic yet ecologically responsible built bungalows.

The fifteen bungalows face west; most of them letting you revere dramatic sunsets disappear into the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding forest adds indispensable privacy and peace to each unit. Most bungalows sit on a cliff overlooking the private bay and estuary. While they have been soundly designed to offer shelter from rain, sun or wind, each bungalow breathes nature. Some even have a tree growing out through the roof and all enjoy an indoor beach garden hosting your own private outdoor shower.

All hotel bungalows feature one king size bed, a comfortable sofa bed and a private deck. The architect has carefully used mainly local materials and the wooden furniture was custom made by local artisans. Even the quaint lamps have been made out of recycled wood from a former cattle ranch at Morgan’s Rock Eco Lodge! The bungalows are connected to the main lodge by an awesome 110-meter suspension bridge crossing a forested canyon.
