Oh My God what can I tell you about this place; about the welcoming that I received, the beauty of that place, the peace that I got, the food quality, the ethics and kindness of the owners Raneem and Naseem, the cookers, the organizers... It was the best trip I ever had. Started and finished like a dream, but let me be more precise and, very very important, also give you some advice on the flight: ABOUT THE FLIGHTS: So, it was a very long travel but I enjoyed every bit of it. I had to take a Boeing from Canada to Managua, then a small plane from the industry called La Costena ( La Costana; is the flight taking you from Managua to big corn island). Finally, a boat from Big corn to Little Corn island. FLIGHT ADVICE HEADS UP FOR COASTANA FLIGHTS: Please don't make my mistake when I first bought the flight to Nicaragua then found out that there was no Costena plane that will take me from Managua to big corn island. So, please buy the ticket of COSTENA(the little plane taking you from Managua to big Corn) before buying the flight from your country to Nicaragua BECAUSE THE FLIGHTS TAKING YOU TO THE ISLAND ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON SPECIFIC DAYS AND TIMES. So, start by buying that small flight then go ahead and buy your ticket from your country accordingly to La Costena flight. Also, buy a two way ticket ( Managua to big corn and for your way back from Big corn to Managua). ABOUT THE CURRENCY/MONEY YOU NEED TO CARRY WITH YOU BEFORE GOING TO NICARAGUA: Also, HAVE US CASH WITH YOU BEFORE COMING TO NICARAGUA because ATMS are limited and they don't accept Canadian dollars. They will ask for 10$ US cash when you arrive to Managua airport. Some restaurant of little corn island accept cards but then I think there is a fee, please have US cash with you AND DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR MONEY IN MANAGUA AIRPOT BECAUSE THEY USE TOURISTS A LOT WHEN IT COCMES TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE. ABOUT MY STAY AT THE LIGHTHOUSE So back to the journey, I arrived to Managua, spent the night at a hotel because my flight to big corn was scheduled for the following morning day. Then, I took the small plane from Managua to Big corn, then I shared a taxi with one of the tourists to the port and from there we took the boat to little corn Island. It was sooooo worth it. I found the team waiting for me as I arrived, they took care of the luggage and then warmly welcomed me. They walked me to the hotel, and as I was walking, I could not believe the beauty and uniqueness of the island; Small alleys with shades from Palm trees and flowers and beautiful plants; everybody was walking, no cars, no motorcycles, no electronic devices, everything was green, the sea looked amazing, people were nice, even the story dogs were nice( of course always be careful not to touch a stray dog because you never know). Once I arrived to the hotel, the owner was there waiting for me; Raneem, she was so kind and so nice, she offered me a welcoming drink and walked me to my Cabana. It was clean and smelled so good. The view was breathtaking because the little hotel was in the middle of the jungle and at the top, so although it was super hot, but we had a good breeze and some ocean view YAY !! :) (Some Cabana don't have ocean view but you could see it from the hotel restaurant. My Cabana called the "Zen Cabana" had a view on the ocean so ask the owner for that one if you want an ocean view. ABOUT THE JUNGLE: Now I had the most peaceful night, the starts were so big because there was no pollution, so so quiet, it was hot but we had a breeze and we had the fan too. Of course because it is a Cabana in the middle of the jungle, sometimes inside my cabana, I had visits from little lizards lol those ones freaked me out in the biggining because I'm not used to it. However, they were just there to clean the room from mosquitos if any and they did not come near me or bothered me at all, they were just far in the corner of the cabana to clean it from mosquitos. Other than that, there is NO bad insects such as spiders or snakes or anything like that, it was a clean jungle, but of course we were on an island so lizards and some mosquitos when the breeze was light, was expected. SO BRING MOSKITOS SPRAY WITH YOU PELASE. By the end of my holiday, I got used to those little lizards and realized it was them who were afraid of me lol For some reason I slept at 9pm and woke up at 4am and I was really energized ! they said that is normal because it is the effect of the jungle on you, you don't need more than that ! ABOUT THE LIGHTHOUSE MEALS: The morning was magical, the sound of the birds woke me up, the breeze was so cool and the sky blueeeeee, the ocean looked beautiful. The breakfast was included and cooked by an amazing cooker, everything was exported from the garden of the hotel and was so delicious. I never saw that before; the food was organic but I mean really organic, everything was from the trees of the hotel's garden; the drinks, the meals, even the napkins were palm tree leaves, so unique .... THE BEACH AND THE LIGHTHOUSE SPA SERVICES: Now the beach, man ... the island had at least 3 beaches, each one is different from the other, crystal clear, some of them had white sands, others a little darker. We went to the beach with some of the hotel team because I did not know the island. We walked and the walking was just a peace of pleasure, I was discovering the beauty of the island; the colours, the flowers, the trees, the people, the cute restaurants and cafe shops.... Naseem; one of the owners gave me an amazing spa; relaxing massage and also another massage with chocolate that was homemade and included in the package. YAY ! :) Also I went to snorkelling and to Yoga sessions on the ocean, it was so relaxing.... SOME ISLAND ENTERTAINMENTS: At night, there was some African dance shows or sometimes barbecue, or you can benefit from some rituals such as the moon ritual that came exactly on the night of Ramadan, then we went back to the centre of the island with the boat at night, there was PLANKTON lighting the ocean... it was like a movie Fred, one of the organizers made my stay; she was taking care of scheduling all my events; from the snorkelling, to the food preparation, the spa preferences, she took me wherever I wanted and also we did a flower ritual together :) THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW( ELECTRICITY) Also, there is no electricity in the morning up just until 1pm but it did not bother because you charge your phone for the whole night. Also the shower water comes from the water tank so it is like the perfect temperature for your body. There is no wifi in the hotel but there is wife many coffee shop stores you could use. But honestly, I like it because I was there to disconnect not to use social media and as I said, when needed, there was coffee shops wifi quick and efficient starting from 1pm until about 11pm. There is also a guardian that stays up for the whole night to take care of the security of the guests. And, other than that, the Lighthouse team are always there available tot are care of every little bit of matter that you have. They are amazing, they don't care about material things, they care about the well-being of guests. I loved that. That's it for now!, in short if you love the jungle, nature, and little creatures, and the complete quiet, and want to go back in time when we lived without social media, when we live with simplicity, away from electronic devices, stress, and all the fanciness of today, I recommend this amazing place. GO LIGHTHOUSE ! <3
