I am in love with Yemaya! This was me and my family’s first time visiting the island and this is our new favorite place. The view and spots were unbelievable, food was absolutely fantastic and our favorite part was the attention of the staff, they were extremely helpful and welcoming. The room was perfect as well, really clean and the bed was super comfortable. Congratulations to all the people who make of this place a true paradise, we are very grateful for your service and for making this experience 100% perfect!

Best place in the whole island!

One of the best kept secret in Central America.  Exceptional all around!
It is not easy getting there but well worth it.  
It feels like you are in a movie set with the perfect beach🏖️ , the palm trees 🌴 and the wether all come together for the perfect experience. Service was excellent, food was excellent and the facilities were excellent!  And the best part, the cost is much less then what you would pay pretty much anywhere else in the world.

Exceptional Resort Beach Hotel in Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Cannot say enough about this resort. The planning of small plane, taxi to wharf and boat ride to the tiny island was seamless and effortless, a great start to our 3 day adventure. Service and staff made us feel so welcome , accomadations so comfortable. 
If you are looking for adventure with comfort, this is hands down THE BEST.
Will definately return!

Best adventure trip!

I've stayed at many beautiful hotels around the world, and Yemaya is among the best. The team went out of their way to ensure that we had an incredible stay. We enjoyed the amenities of our room, including twice daily housekeeping services. The restaurant offered a  versatile and delicious menu. Gordon was kind enough to arrange a last minute fly fishing excursion for my husband. I just can't say enough about the entire team there. They are top notch! Plus, the property is situated on the most beautiful beach! 

If you are looking to book the trip and the flights and boat transfers seem daunting...book it anyway! It is so worth it! We are already planning our second visit! 

Absolutely Book this Trip! 

The Yemaya Reefs Hotel in Little Corn Island offers a refreshing alternative to the all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, if one prefers the laid-back atmosphere of an island setting reminiscent of those tropical-island posters. The hotel is situated on an isolated region of an isolated island in the Caribbean Sea, requiring a plane ride from Managua ($80 each way), and then a boar ride to the hotel from Big Corn Island ($30 each way), but the result is an escape from the usual masses of tourists at traditional spots. Little Corn Island has no vehicles, only pedestrian walking trails. Power is supplied by a solar panel plant, and electricity is hut down for several hours each day -- but not at the Yemaya Reefs Hotel which has back-up generators.

Guest are situated in separated cottages, with the fancier ones sporting a private pool adjoining their beach-front porches. Internet is provided, adequate for streaming, but strangely rooms are not outfitted with smart TVs. 

The staff is super friendly, and guests are offer welcome cocktails upon their arrival.

The boat trip from Big Corn Island includes transfer from the airport to the docks, but the boat ride can be very bumpy (in one direction, we were holding on to our seats in the yacht providing transport as if we were riding wild broncos). Upon arriving at the beach in Little Corn Island, there is no dock, and so one must take off one's socks and wade a few feet to shore.

The food and cocktails at the hotel are pricey, but of high quality. If one wants, one could walk to nearby beaches were food and drinks are cheaper -- but the quality is also diminished. If one enjoys Hyatt Global status, the breakfasts at the hotel are free, or otherwise they run around $17 for dish selections. Cocktails cost around $10 (competitor bars nearby might offer cocktails for $5-$6). No cash is transacted at the hotel, but your tab is paid for by credit card at the end of your stay. 

Snorkeling, kayaking, and sunbathing at the beach (with shay lounges provided by the hotel, are major activities. Other possibilities are fishing, deep sea diving.

There is a village on the island, about 2 km or so from the hotel, connected by a pedestrian path. At the village, there are several cafes, bars to choose from.

The massage services at the hotel are top notch, and my wife who is discerning was completely satisfied with her masseuse.

Good alternative to all-inclusive resorts

Amazing property - perfect in every respect.

Management  - The General Manager (Carlos) and his Lieutenants are ever-present and readily available to address your every need.

Restaurant  - Outstanding food and service.  Particularly enjoyed each daily special at dinner.

Grounds -  Immaculate.   Very carefully and professionally groomed each day.

Concierge  - Super helpful, fun and friendly.  Can help you with anything.

Water sports - Good gear and plenty of it - always available, no waiting…

Beaches - pristine - cleaned constantly.  Unbelievably clear water.

Housekeeping  - best housekeeping I’ve experienced in all my travels.  Rooms are unbelievably clean - not a grain of sand anywhere!!!

Bar - good/interesting drinks and friendly service.

Water Crossing from Big Corn - Nice boat, great Captain and crew.

Water excursions (snorkeling/sunset cruise…) - highly recommend - good boats, competent and friendly Captain.

Spa - We did not actually use the spa services but heard from other guests the spa was great.

I can’t say enough good things about this property - it is certainly the gold standard for other resorts to measure themselves…. Can’t wait to return.

Hidden Gem

What a magical place and people, thank you for the most amazing stay. Huge thanks to the manager Carlos who made every effort to make me feel welcomed to the island and made my whole stay in Little Corn perfect, all of the staff are so lovely and attentive and professional with huge thanks to  Jairo, Ricardo, Gordon, Javier, Hilda, Donella, Pocho, Melli, Jordan, Justin and Jenny (and everyone else)

Everything was organised perfectly including the transfers to and from the airport, the taxi boat transfers to and from the town, the rooms were sooooo comfortable and impeccably clean with the comfiest beds. The pool was amazing and the sunsets were insanely beautiful every night.

I could have stayed here forever, highly recommend for anyone visiting Little Corn.

Magical

Yemaya was a wonderful place to stay during our recent trip to Little Corn Island. Before we left, they communicated pretty well to help us arrange transportation from the Big Corn airport.  This gave us great peace of mind.  Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and treated very warmly for the rest of our stay.  The facility itself is gorgeous.  We can't say enough about this.  On a small island like Little Corn, Yemaya provided a good amount to do and see, including informal snorkeling and paddle-boarding, a formal snorkeling trip (which we did and was great), fishing trips (which we didn't do).  Facilities were top notch and felt just like vacation.  Restaurant food and drinks were terrific, especially the juices and cocktails.

Paradise Stay on Little Corn Island

We had an incredible time at Yemaya for our honeymoon. Ricardo, Octavio and team were so friendly and welcoming. I am vegetarian and the chef was able to adjust dishes to accomodate my dietary requirements. Overall the food and cocktails were absolutely delicious, using high quality produce and so much attention to detail. This is perfect resort for a relaxing couples retreat. Offering so much breathtaking scenery and activities. 

Perfect Honeymoon destination

The communication was great prior to my arrival with setting up private transportation from the airport to the island. The captain, co-captain and chef were all waiting to escort me on the boat to the hotel. Upon arrival I was greeted by so many so many staff that were expecting me and ensured they wanted to make my stay a good one. Other than the stunning grounds, scenery and my luxury villa with a private pool, anything I asked for was done with no wait time. Sometimes things were done before I even realized they had time to do so. The food was nice, but the bonfire night had excellent food! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique location and experience.
