Thermal SourcesWalk about 200 m south along the shore to a wild beach area where thermal water emerges at about 60°C. The appearance changes through the year; this is a natural place, not an organized municipal activity.
El Caballito mountain hiking trailThe trail entrance is about 100 m north of the property on the road. Allow about 1 hour 30 minutes to climb toward Mirador de San Juan de Oriente. Monkeys and birds may be seen, and modern-era petroglyphs are carved on natural stones along the trail. Bring good walking shoes or hiking boots. Bring a walking stick if possible.
Easy forest walk toward DiriáFollow the quiet dirt road toward Diriá for an easy nature walk that can be done in flip-flops. Birds and sometimes monkeys may be seen. About 2 km away are the Diriá beach area and an access upward toward Mirador El Boquete.
Tropical gardens and wildlife
The tropical gardens, trees, plants, birds, and other animals are part of the Casa Única experience. Observe wildlife without disturbing it, and leave the gardens and natural areas as you found them.
The Laguna's busiest days

Ten pokój oferuje niezwykły komfort i spokój. Malowniczy ogród z ptakami tworzy relaksującą atmosferę. Dodatkową atrakcją jest możliwość wypożyczenia kajaka i spędzenia czasu na wodzie. Sam właściciel Benjamin jest bardzo pozytywną osobą. Przegadałem z nim połowę pobytu. Pokazał mi sporo ciekawych zwierząt na terenie obiektu. Uroku dodają 3 przezabawne psy. To idealne miejsce na oderwanie się od codzienności i wyciszenie. Serdecznie polecam ten urokliwy zakątek.

Benjamin was friendly and welcoming since the beginning. Both his staff that were in the property also were kind enough showed us around and asked how we wanted our eggs for breakfast. So nice up to that level! Benjamin was really talkative and friendly!! We brought hot dogs for dinner and Benjamin offered to warm them up for us! The airbnb listed there was no kitchen in this house in particular but that is just how nice he is and committed to make your stay great! This place is perfect if you are looking forward to peace and ease. I highly enjoyed it and will definitely come again!

My partner and I had a lovely stay here. Benjamin made us feel welcome from the moment we reached out and gave us great recommendations on what to do in the area. The trailhead for the hiking trail to the overlook is a short walk from the property and we saw lots of wildlife along it. We also had a great time kayaking on the lake, using one of the kayaks available. There are plenty of spaces to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings within the property. We came in a car and appreciated the flexibility that this gave us to go out to see sights outside of the lagoon. Would highly recommend this place for nature lovers or folks looking for a peaceful getaway!

Absolutely stunning place with beautiful views of Lake Apoyo, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and rainforest. Loved directly accessing the lake from the property. Super comfortable bed, quiet and peaceful surrounds even with other dwellings for guests. Benjamin is delightful, helpful and a wonderful person. Breakfasts were delicious!
Only issue I had was there's someone on the property who smokes for extended periods of time which was awful when trying to do yoga, meditate and eat breakfast in such a pristine natural setting.

The pictures give you a good idea of what to expect, but once you drop your luggage and take a breath, you notice the luxuriant vegetation and breath taking landscape. I wish I could say I felt at home, but I was closer to paradise. The Casita Mango is surrounded by trees, fruits, and flowers from every angle. We spent hours observing every detail, listening to the relaxing sound of 100 birds and abundant species. Martha's breakfasts are part of the experience. Definitely our best meal of the day. Benjamin has a solution for everything and is dedicated to make your experience memorable. You will laugh everytime you speak to him. The lake is right in front of the property, and easily accessible, so you dont have to carry your stuff each time you go for a dip. The feeling is unique since you feel hot warm water coming from the bottom as you swim. Be aware: It's not a rental. It's a unique experience. I can't wait to be back to Benjamin's version of paradise.

Benjamin's place was absolutely breathtaking. A hundred times better than we expected. The property and surroundings is pristine. Extremely private, quiet, peaceful. The views of the lagoon are spectacular. And to top off Benjamin is an excellent host. Always attentive to our needs and very responsive. If you're looking for accommodations in Apoyo look no further.

Beautiful location right by the lake and Benjamin is a lovely host! The breakfast was simple but tasty and served on the beautiful terrace, although it was simple it felt luxurious just because of the space! The only down side is that it’s a little hard to get to, 30 minutes to/from Granada but down/up a very steep hill(be cautious driving down and use low gear)

Wir haben eine Nacht hier verbracht und fanden es großartig. Benjamin ist ein perfekter Gastgeber und die Unterkunft wunderschön mit einem tollen Ausblick über die Lagune. Abends fühlt man sich wie inmitten des Dschungels, umringt von Brüllaffen und Vögeln. Die Atmosphäre ist friedlich und entspannend. Und das Frühstück von Martha war exzellent. Wir würden diese Unterkunft jedem empfehlen!

Los servicios y la atención, hacen que cada centavo valga la pena. La habitación tenía una vista increíble al atardecer y amanecer.
Las diferentes áreas para relajarse en toda la locación permiten aprovechar el día a cada momento, espacios que se acoplan con la naturaleza que rodea el lugar.
Debo destacar el desayuno. Estuvo increíble. Se nota que en Casa Única el servicio de alimentación no está sólo para cubrir el horario de comida y ya, sino que la calidad del platillo hace que sea algo para disfrutar realmente, que el visitante se sienta mimado. Martha, que fue quien nos preparó el desayuno, fue muy atenta y su cuchara envidiable.
El sitio, al estar más cerca de la zona menos poblada y más virgen de Laguna de Apoyo, provee una calma extra en comparación de los otros sitios de la zona.
Mas que convencido para quedarme una 2da ocasión.
