Hacienda Colorado is located on Playa Colorado - directly in front of the surf break, Colorados- sometimes referred to as the Nicaraguan Pipeline. You can sit in the gorgeous beachfront pool or under one of the covered patios- either upstairs or downstairs - and watch extreme surfing from morning until night. Or take a walk along the 1 1/2 mile white sand beach which has 2 additional surf breaks: Panga Drops and Los Perros Point. There are also a couple of beaches in the area where the waves break more gently for beginner or intermediate surfers. There is plenty of territory for boogie boarders and swimmers. Boat trips are easily accessible for trips along the Nicaraguan coast to other popular breaks. We are also only about 60 yards from the beachfront community pool, bar and restaurant (open for all 3 meals).

The house itself has 4 comfortable bedrooms; a master suite with a king and twin bed, 2 ocean view guest suites, each with a queen and twin bed in them and a 4th bedroom with 2 twin beds. Each bedroom has it's own ensuite bathroom. The house is ideal for 1-2 famlies, 3 couples or 8 surfers. There is an interior courtyard and garden where you can relax and enjoy the fountain - the perfect place for relaxing with a book in the afternoon. The kitchen is world class and fully equipped. The house has a beautiful beachfront pool, hammock on beach, a/c in every room (including the living area), wifi internet, Claro tv, a portable stereo and a propane BBQ grill. Daily housekeeping, pool cleaning and a night guard are all provided at the house.

Hacienda Iguana is the ideal community for those who want to surf, golf, explore or just kick back and relax on a breathtaking beach. It is a very secure community with 2 sets of gates to enter, guards posted around the community as well as full time guards at the beach club nearby. Hacienda Colorado also has it's own night guard specifically for the house. The security staff in place insures that you will feel very secure and comfortable to roam around the community and beach as you please. That being said the whole area is very safe and you will find that the local community is extremely humble, friendly and helpful.

SURF BREAKS: Colorados is a fast, barreling beach break with many peaks and A frames. It is a challenging break and best for intermediate to expert surfers. Panga Drops is just a 10-15 minute walk up the beach and breaks on a horse-shoe shaped rock reef. This wave generally has a mellow take off and a more vertical and playful inside section. This break can be good for long boarders or short boarders. Panga Drops amplifies swells and is usually bigger but more forgiving than Colorados. At the very north end of the beach there is a point break, Los Perros Point, that needs a good swell with the right direction to break, but with the perfect combination it can provide very fun rights. We can also arrange boats to any of the 10+ surrounding breaks.

There is also a BAC ATM located just outside of Iguana’s main gate in the Riviera Market (about 4 kilometers away) that is open from 6am to 12pm.
