Choosing Nicaragua beach hotels begins with choosing which
body of water you want to stay next to. The Pacific Ocean borders
Nicaragua to the west. The area features crystal clear water and
some of the most immaculate beaches anywhere on the Pacific. Such
a natural, pristine setting lends itself to ecotourism.
Ecotourism is a style of vacationing which strives to respect
and, if possible, improve natural habitats. Ecotourism, also called
“responsible” or “sustainable” tourism,
often includes assistance for local communities. This style of
tourism is growing in popularity and can be practiced in undeveloped,
rural or urban settings. Nicaragua beach hotels called ecolodges
have opened in recent years with ecotourism in mind.
These Nicaragua beach hotels, their staffs and guests strive
to preserve the natural beauty and cleanliness of the nations
many beaches. Many feature extra acreage that is set aside as
habitat for indigenous species. One particular ecolodge is built
near a sea turtle nesting site which it helps to protect. Three-toed
sloths, white tail deer and numerous species of monkeys and birds
are also kept safe via ecotourism.
