Parrot Bay Motel and Hammock Shop

Isla de Tuerte, Caribbean Sea, Nicaragua

About Us

tropical beach

Parrot Bay Motel opened in 1987 with four rooms and a tiny front office. Over the years, the property grew. In 1995, we demolished the island's only schoolhouse to expand to seven rooms while keeping the same quiet, laid-back atmosphere. In 1997, we added a hammock repair shop.


The motel is operated by my family, who have lived on Isla de Tuerte for a generation. We keep things simple: comfortable rooms, local recommendations, strong coffee in the morning, free rum on tap, and plenty of hammocks.


Isla de Tuerte:
