(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 27, 2009 ) SAN JUAN del SUR, Nicaragua—How wonderful to know that a stay at Piedras y Olas, a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel, resort and residential community set in the unspoiled country of Nicaragua will help so many local residents in need. Set upon a hillside above the cosmopolitan fishing village of San Juan del Sur, the resort offers 66 contemporary units and features two restaurants and three infinity pools; the whole complex is surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens and is the largest employer in the small village close to perfect beaches.

Piedras y Olas is perfectly situated as a base for exploring the multiple choices of arranged adventure tours including canopy (zip-line) tours, sailing on Pelican Eyes, the resort’s 42’ sailboat, surfing, sport fishing, scuba diving and horseback riding. Tours to explore the local surroundings including the colonial city of Granada, the ‘white towns”, lakes, volcanoes (dormant and active) and lush rainforests are easily arranged. One of the biggest employers in the community, Piedras y Olas Hotel has two restaurants, a trendy bar with weekly entertainment and free transportation takes guests into San Juan to sample local charm and night life. Currently, rates for a basic five night adventure package start at $885 per person sharing in a double plus15% tax.
Piedras y Olas Hotel helps provide local children with school uniforms and shoes, sponsorship for higher education, books and supplies plus an environmental project of a ten-acre nature reserve used for educational opportunities related to long-term preservation efforts, reforestation projects and construction of nature trails. A community project covers trash collection, water management, and ecology education. Vocational training covers ecology, environmental education, tourism, hospitality, construction and business administration. Even the local Ancianos - senior citizens enjoy special outings and luncheons. And a new Galeria del Sur - art gallery and classroom promotes local Nicaraguan art and artists. Local animals are not forgotten – a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary and veterinary clinic provide a safe refuge for previously owned pets, and injured and/or abandoned animals. A stay at Piedras y Olas supports all these initiatives.
Piedras y Olas is easily reached by American, Continental and TACA with transfers arranged from Managua International Airport. ###
