About the Hotel
Rancho Santana is situated between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua on one of the Pacific only isthmuses. Bordered on both sides by water, Rancho Santana enjoys the distinction of nearly constant off shore breezes, 30 days or more each year. This off-shore wind combined with a perfectly angled coastline creates world-class surf conditions and affords guests three surf breaks on site and a dozen breaks in the area.
Rancho Santana’s terrain is as diverse as the guests who come to hike our many trails. Traverse jungle and tropical dry forest on the Los Perros loops; top off a walk to Playa Escondida with a visit to the turtle sanctuary and a splash in the tide pools; and summit a sand dune at Playa Duna.
Rancho Santana has three swimming pools and three clubhouses located throughout the property. There are four dining venues: La Finca and El Mar, La Boquita, El Cafe and La Taqueria.

Reviews for Rancho Santana
Caring staff
The staff was excellent! They were friendly and caring. They worked very hard to help us have a positive experience.

Cannot wait to return!
We had an incredible stay and cannot recommend this property enough, especially for families traveling with young children. The casita was beautiful, spacious, and perfectly suited for our family of three. We traveled with our one-year-old son, and there was more than enough room for another small family as well. The house was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We stopped at the grocery store on our way from the airport, but it was also so convenient having the nearby tienda for anything we needed during our stay. The entire property is absolutely stunning, and everything is easy to access, making it simple to get from one place to another. We couldn't have asked for a better destination for our son's first international trip. A huge part of what made our stay so special was Rafaela. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed our family with such warmth and kindness. Communication was seamless throughout our stay, and she was always quick to respond via WhatsApp, making everything effortless. She helped arrange all of our transportation and shuttles, but what truly made our trip unforgettable was connecting us with Ana to care for our son while we surfed and explored during his nap times. Ana was absolutely wonderful. She is bilingual, incredibly kind, and took such loving care of our son each day. Knowing he was in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. He spent his days playing, napping, eating well, and even participating in activities with the older kids at the Kids Club. It was clear that he was happy, engaged, and genuinely cared for. Traveling internationally with a toddler can feel overwhelming, but the entire team made it so easy that we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. The hospitality was exceptional, and we left with wonderful memories. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect vacation and place
We had the most amazing time. So many things to do if you want activity and beautiful scenery for rest. Top moments were dinners with our server Anielka and Thai chi and yoga with Age
