Yemaya Reefs exceeded our expectations. The resort is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning aesthetic that blends perfectly with the natural surroundings. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The ocean views were breathtaking and made for a truly relaxing experience. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Every team member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The food was also a pleasant surprise—the menu offered a great variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. If you're looking for a peaceful, upscale getaway with exceptional service and incredible scenery, Yemaya Reefs is a fantastic choice. We would gladly return.

We got the delux room with the ocean view and private pool. It was to celebrate my 40th birthday and the perfect choice. The accommodations felt like a true paradise. The grounds were well kept. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food and beverages were outstanding. The room service the following day was true luxury with hot tea waiting for us after a day exploring the beaches. I recommend spending in spending extra on the transportation from Big Corn Island Airport. I love the offerings; we got to go snorkeling.

I spent three days on vacation with my husband. We ran into some issues because the shuttle arrived at the airport early, even though we had sent our itinerary via WhatsApp. The hotel is a nice place to relax, though the restaurant staff aren't very attentive. I liked that the room was cleaned daily; the fish ceviche was delicious, as was the Nicaraguan-style breakfast. However, other items—like the hamburgers and fish tacos—were not good. This place has the potential to be a great hotel, but it is lacking in several areas. One highlight was Jeff, the manager; he was incredibly professional and attentive to any issues. Honestly, he made me feel like someone actually cared about my vacation. If you run into any problems, speak to him—he’ll provide a good solution, since sometimes the other staff members aren't willing to help. Thanks, Jeff—I enjoyed my vacation, and I do recommend Yamaya.

Excellent place. Excellent location. Great food. Rooms / villas have great oceanfront view. The beach was pretty clean and great for swimming. Nice location away from everything if that’s what you’re looking for. But close enough to the village if you’re wanting to go in for a meal or a nice walk (30-min each way). Hotel staff was good overall, but definitely lack the hospitality factor. Given it’s the best resort in the island and not many guests at once, we would’ve expected a more personal treatment. Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a secluded place away from everything.

These guys take care of everything. Make sure you book the ocean front with the plunge pool. Not all bugaloos have pools. The hotel pool is gorgeous too and the entire island is a photo op. Gorgeous. Snorkeling is decent. 2 big Nurse sharks and a stingray. Lots of tropical fish. Beach is gorgeous food is great! Definitely plan to return soon.

The location of Yemaya Reefs is divine. We splurged to stay in the luxury casita and it was truly magical. Staff were lovely, food was great. Wine was extremely overpriced so if you plan on having wine with dinner I would suggest bringing your own. Sadly the weather wasn’t on our side but would love to come back and experience this place in all its glory.

The location was incredible but the staff was pretty unhelpful and were not proactive. The weather was bad but the staff did not do much to help make the stay easier. There was no follow up when asked about stuff. The staff made you feel as though you were bothering them.

I will recommend this hotel to anyone! I was sick for the duration of my trip and the staff were incredibly accommodating. They offered to make special meals, provided amazing concierge service, inquired with my husband about my wellbeing and provided a 5 star experience. The staff at this hotel are amazing. Amenities are terrific. We stayed in a room with a plunge pool and in a boat room. Both were fantastic experiences. Views are incredible.

The Best Hotel in Central America! Unbelievable!

This hotel and island, was one of the best experiences I ever had in my travels. The island is unbelievable, it is un discovered, not developed, very peaceful, no cars, no bikes, etc. The service and management were top tier. Mr. Ricardo is the best! This place has a special place in my heart and I will for sure be back often! Thank you!

The rooms are excellent. The bathroom is an interesting indoor/outdoor hybrid. It is completely sheltered, but has a partial ceiling screen to the outside for fresh air. The bed was very comfortable. I had a patio with a nice ocean view. The restaurant food was excellent, as was my spa experience. While I loved it here, if you are looking for excitement, this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing expereince in a beautiful location, this is the place!

I enjoyed my stay at Yemaya. It is a BEAUTIFUL property and perfect for when you need a restorative reset. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I enjoyed the food, beach, pool, and the yoga and meditation sessions. Be prepared for a bumpy ride to Corn Island but this of course contingent on the weather. The hotel arranges all of your transportation to and from the hotel which is very helpful! I would definitely stay here again and recommend you stay here too. You will not regret it.

Another Day in Paradise

Yemaya Reefs is perfection. From the door-to-door service from Big Corn airport (definitely worth it to reserve transportation through Yemaya as opposed to finding a taxi from Big Corn airport to the harbor and then finding a water taxi) to the welcome drinks to every member of the team greeting you by name to the sheer beauty of the location and facilities… its perfection. With so few rooms, beach and pool loungers were always available even when the hotel was booked to capacity. The food and cocktails were spectacular, with new dinner specials every night. I stayed in a Beachfront Casita and was impressed with the spaciousness of the room and bathroom. 10/10 no notes.

The internet was excellent even in the very remote location. The staff was great and the concierge staff made sure everything was smooth. There was access to drinking water which was great, but the wait staff would often not notice that our glasses needed refilling during meal times. The dessert selection and quality definitely requires more thought and planning. DO not forget to take bug spray, even in windy conditions. We had a great relaxing time, unwinding and enjoyed the small exclusive property.
