Rooms

Morgan’s Rock offers 15 bungalows and 3 Two Bedroom Villas. All the rooms were built with tropical
woods that were acquired from responsibly managed logging sources or reforestation projects in Nicaragua, ensuring artistic yet ecologically
responsibly architecture.

All accommodations have been soundly designed to offer shelter from rain,
sun, or wind while maintaining the surroundings as untouched as possible. The location of all bungalows was chosen based on the least amount of trees to be cut down, in some instances taking advantage of ridding dead trees. Some may even have a tree growing straight through the roof and all enjoy an indoor garden hosting your own private outdoor shower.

dining

Guests are in for a treat when they dine at Morgan´s Rock – whether it is at their lovely restaurant overlooking the ocean, or over a healthy breakfast of handmade tortillas and gallo pinto (rice and beans) down at the farmhouse.
