My wife and I just happened to hear about this place while visiting family in nearby Chinandega. It is just about a 1 hour 20 min ride from there on a newly paved road most of the way, then a typical dirt,dusty road for about 16kms to the fishing "town" of Machapa.

I had been emailing with Stacey and felt like I already knew her well before ever meeting her and Mike, the owners, chefs and chief bottle washers!

This is a very small laid back wood cabanas on the beach with just the right twist of comforst and gourmet foods. Laid back, relaxed, go at your own pace. Stacey, Mike, Ricardo (hired Chef!) and the rest of their staff really make you feel at home as soon as you arrive.

They have about 20+ miles of the volcanic sand beach you can literally drive up and down and might see one or two more people along the way. They have a number of activities you can do, like crabbing at night (then eating them in a delicious soup next day), volcano climbing, kayaking, fishing, or just plain lounging in hammocks.

A fantastic place to get away and we will return for sure.

When was the last time someone said to you, "There is no checkout time."?
That's the kind of attitude from Stacy and Mike that make this a wonderful place to visit. You can truly just relax.
It is very secluded. I wouldn't recommend the compact rental car for getting there.
The beach stretches for miles with nobody else around.

We have done a lot of traveling and never had an experience like Redwood Beach Resort. We had miles of beach as our private playground with literally nobody else around. Nicaragua is not the kind of place that wraps you in luxury, yet RBR offers fabulously superb food, excellent personalized service, and an extraordinary opportunity to unwind in very comfortable surroundings. I had the secluded beach to work out on in the mornings while still being able to watch the Mavericks win the NBA title at night. This is not the typical vacation spot. It isn't glitzy or glamorous, but it is UNFORGETTABLE. I am making it a priority to visit RBR again!

If you are adventurous and want to visit a remote part of Nicaragua in relative comfort than this is your place. Redwood Beach Resort has nice cabins with A/C, good food and an unbeatable location. There is lots to do in the immediate area and the wonderful owners, Mike and Stacy, will help you get it all done. In the evenings you can hang out in the bar and watch movies in a hammock or just look at the stars and enjoy the solitude.
