PACIFIC COAST, Southern Nicaragua, May 18, 2004— Kayak estuaries at sunrise and sunset, watch baby sea turtles hatch along the beach, look down into the crater of an active volcano and explore the handicraft markets in the colonial town of Masaya. Enjoy the wildlife rich forests and sandy beaches of Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge a private and secluded ecological haven located on the pacific coast in southern Nicaragua. This intriguing new hotel serves as the base for adventures into Nicaragua—a fascinating and up and coming destination for visitors in search of an authentic and unique travel experience.

Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge, opening this July, offers a natural haven for the true traveler. A spectacular beach and forest environment surrounds the Hacienda, which was inspired by Lapa Rios Ecolodge in Peninsula De Osa, Costa Rica. The hotel was designed for guests in search of a touch of luxury while enjoying the adventure and excitement of an exotic and tropical destination. A stay at the ecolodge offers visitors a unique vacation experience combining ecotourism and agrotourism. The retreat also serves as the base for adventures into Nicaragua—a landscape filled with an abundance of lakes, rivers, colonial cities, untouched forests, sandy beaches and some of the greatest concentration of volcanoes and inland bodies of water in the world.

Morgan’s Rock offers day tours, which explore lakes, active volcanoes, national parks, the colonial city of Granada, Lake Nicaragua with its “Isletas”, handicraft markets and much more. These multi-faceted explorations and activities allow for cultural interactions, scenic beauty and nature viewing at its finest. The Hacienda is also home to one of Latin America's finest agro-tourism operations and guests here will have the opportunity to take tours to learn about reforestation, tree farming, sustainable agriculture and traditional farming techniques.

Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge accommodations include fifteen private west facing bungalows, which open to spectacular views of the ocean and surrounding forest. Most bungalows sit on a cliff overlooking the private bay and estuary and all feature one-king size bed, a comfortable sofa bed, hammocks, an open-air shower and a private deck. The architect used mainly local materials and the wooden furniture was custom crafted by local artisans.

Morgan's Rock provides the ideal extension to a Costa Rican vacation. The ecolodge is easily reached by air or ground transport and is located within easy driving from southern Nicaragua's most prominent tourist attractions, the colonial city of Granada, and just north of the Costa Rican boarder.
