How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Set on 2,700 acres of rolling hills and five beautiful beaches, Rancho Santana is the place to explore and relax in Nicaragua.
Located on Playa Santana, this boutique hotel is truly a luxurious escape to a remote and magical world. Accommodations at The Inn & Residences feature private ocean-view terraces, air conditioning, and WiFi. For a more remote experience, Ocean View homes are on secluded lots, and for families the villas and casitas are perfect options.
Those looking for an adventure will find it here; hiking, surfing, horseback riding, paddle boarding, and fishing are just some of the activities available at Rancho Santana. The hotel also offers a weekly roster of complimentary experiences, like garden tours and evening bonfires with S’mores. You may even spot a sea turtle or monkey.
A day of adventure calls for a day of rest and the 6,000 square foot spa provides just that. Built into the hillside, it’s a refreshing oasis that offers tension-relieving massages, nourishing treatments, and pampering beauty services. Farm to table food is always on the menu at Rancho Santana. You can sip on a smoothie from el Café, enjoy a taco at La Taqueria, or indulge in La Finca y el Mar’s signature Surf and Turf, knowing you’re eating only the freshest local ingredients available.
