| About us |
Corn Island is located in the Caribbean Sea, 52 miles from the port city of Bluefields in Nicaragua. Its population of approximately 8500 is predominantly Carib.
The resort is located on the south west beach of Corn Island, out of the wind and in front of the coral reefs. It is an absolute top location.
Paraiso is the most popular resort on Corn Island because of its location and facilities. It was built in 1996 and fully renovated in 2008 in a typical island style.
The total size of the property is about 3 Acres and because the structures only use about 1 Acre, there is a lot of space available for expansion.
The resort is the most popular one on the island and so is the restaurant. The new owner can count in a high monthly income moment the key is handed! The resort has an excellent occupation rate and many contacts with travel agents and tour operators. |
| Location / Surroundings |
One of the things which first strikes the visitor to Nicaraguas Corn Island (Isla del Maiz) is the dichotomy of the people, their language and their customs compared with those on the mainland. A visitor described his first visit to Corn Island by saying "I closed my eyes, listened to the conversation and the music, and thought I was somewhere else...like Jamaica." Corn Island is located in the Caribbean Sea, 52 miles from the port city of Bluefields. Its population of approximately 8500 is predominantly Carib.
Corn Island is popular as a holiday resort because it is perfect for bathing, diving, surfing, fishing, snorkelling and all other kinds of water sports. Coral reefs are just minutes off shore surrounding the island 10 to 12 feet deep, visibility up to 80 feet. Corn Island has beautiful and unspoiled beaches, some of them totally deserted with white sand and turquoise waters. More reasons to visit Corn Island include great sea food and good hiking trails. Just 17.5 miles from Corn Island are the Pearl Keys. They are practically unexplored and their clear waters are ideal for fishing and diving. About a mile southeast of Corn Island divers can explore the wreck of Spanish galleon which lies in 20 feet of clear water. Since this area was a favourite haunt of pirates who roamed the Caribbean, it is thought that many other ancient wrecks - some most certainly still containing their rich cargo - lie in the waters off Corn Island.
For centuries, Corn Island was under British domination and served as a refuge for British, Dutch and French pirates escaping the Spanish fleet. Thus, it is not just idle speculation that the waters are the final resting place for countless ships waylaid on the route to Europe.
Two (some days 3) 1:20 hr. flights are available from Managua, operated by La
Costeña. Tourism is just starting even though the beauty of the sea and white sand beaches is incredible. |

The Cabañas are originally built in 1996 and they are completely renovated in 2008/2009. They are popular with tourists because of their ambiance and privacy. All Cabañas are well equipped and the interiors are decorated with an eye for detail. The Floor space of the private Cabañas measures about 22 m2. The bungalows (which sleep 4 people) measure about 28m2.
In total the resort has capacity for 42 people.

The restaurant is called “The Buccaneer” and is popular with tourist because of its fresh, creative dishes. The restaurant can seat 55 and has a multipurpose area and a library. Movie night or live music are a hit on the island during rainy days. The restaurant is built with a typical thatched roof. The leaves originally come from the pacific coast of Nicaragua and have a 10 year guarantee. The leaves keep the restaurant cool on hot days.

Massage Room
More and more guests were inquiring about the possibilities for massages and so we built a massage room. A professional trained masseuse gives Swedish massage therapy and aroma therapy. The Paraiso massages are now well known and tourists from other hotels on the island visit us for massages. For this reason it is a very welcome additional source of income.

Tourism in Nicaragua
Source: Pro-Nicaragua
There are many reasons to consider Nicaragua an ideal location for the establishment of tourism
companies, such as the continuous growth in the national average occupancy rate and average daily
rate, the competitive costs of property and the country’s stable economy.
In the last years, tourism has been one of the most dynamic economic sectors in the Nicaraguan
economy. The industry has experienced a 13 percent average annual growth rate in tourists arrival,
while tourism receipts have registered an average annual growth rate of 10 percent. During the first
quarter of 2008 the industry registered an 8.4 percent increase in tourist arrivals, compared to the
same period in 2007. In addition, the continuous improvements in infrastructure and the investment
climate have positioned Nicaragua as one of the most attractive destinations for Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI). |
