Location:

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 on 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.
