In the islands, one is brought back to a simpler time, a slower time. Many of us have forgotten how good it is to be alone with agreeable thoughts. Here, a pace enjoyed by earlier generations replaces the "new slowness." As one guest put it, "I'm more in touch with the world by being here -away from it.

Solentiname can get you back in touch with the world. Furthermore, the splendid relaxing atmosphere, fine service and Mother Nature will refresh and prepare you for a return to the life that you come here to escape. Between breakfast and dinner, many guests have a wonderful day without ever leaving the Lodge. On any day, at any time of the year, there are so many things to do...

Take a stroll around the Lodge and take time to notice all the wonderful things you can find here:

• Flower gardens and abundant wild flowers
• Hummingbirds
• Beautiful views
• Go for a hike, or just a walk. Several hiking trails start right outside our door. When was the last time you walked all the way around an island.
• Lake Nicaragua
• Go fishing
• Go swimming
• Canoe or kayak around the islands
• Just Relax
• Take in the view from the dock The rich night sky is a celestial wonder.
• The vista over the lake from our veranda is unsurpassed -- it is the best view in all of Solentiname.
• Bring a book, a drink or a friend and enjoy!
• Enjoy a cold beer or drink and the warm company of your fellow guests.
• Play a game
• Read a book-- bring that book you've wanted to read for so long,
