Comments for Karen's Island http://www.karensisland.com I am building a luxury Eco Hotel on an Island in a lake in Nicaragua. I have limited prior knowledge of the hotel trade, but a good eye for business and style, and a strong sense of community.

We're really excited as neither of us have ever been to Nicaragua, and we love the vision you have for your resort. We love the sustainability, and even more, we are excited that you are involved in the local community working with children and schools. I just wanted to say thank you for letting us share in your dream. Looking forward to it very much. Hi Karen,

My bride and I are going to be visiting your island for our honeymoon later this year. We’re really excited as neither of us have ever been to Nicaragua, and we love the vision you have for your resort. We love the sustainability, and even more, we are excited that you are involved in the local community working with children and schools.

I just wanted to say thank you for letting us share in your dream. Looking forward to it very much.

Please keep me posted on the progress and the ultimate opening of your hotel as I may have some Yoga Instructors who wish to host retreats at your wonderful new site. I will be back in Nicaragua leading a Beginner Yoga Retreat in February and would love to hook up with you to tour the site, if you are agreeable.

I am originally from Nicaragua, but I am finishing a PhD in Entomology in the US. My family used to vacation in las isletas and I always make it a point to visit when I am in the country. As you already know, it is gorgeous. I think your vision and commitment to the environment is exciting. My family owns property in the Rivas/San Juan del Sur area and we hope to develop small bungalows that are sustainable, but at the same time affordable ... yet ...as you already know, many things have to come together in order to see your dreams realized. Congratulations again and good luck. Congratulations on what seems to be a beautiful project. I am originally from Nicaragua, but I am finishing a PhD in Entomology in the US.

Bocas Del Toro is lovely . I wish you all the best. We haven't started on the construction yet as am currently sifting through the mounds of paperwork and permissions!

How adventurous!! My husband and I currently live in Arizona and have purchased some property in the Bocas Del Toro region of Pamana. We are planning on building an ecolodge out there this year and you have given me hope that this venture is possible! Neither of us speak much Spanish either, but will obviously have to learn very quickly. I emailed Matthew Falkiner last week and am hoping that he will be available to design our lodge as well. Is the construction going fairly smoothly? I will definitely be checking your website regularly for updates. I would love to exchange stories in the future!
