Our stay was lovely. You are right on the lake overlooking the volcano. You can have breakfast in the restaurant in the morning. We also played billiards with the locals. Great atmosphere

We stayed for four nights, as my partner contracted a virus a few days before our arrival. We needed a peaceful place for her to rest and recover strength. achieved. The hosts were very kind, despite our lack of knowledge of Spanish. However, it was not a problem, they did their best to allow us a successful understanding. The place is located at the edge of the water and the sound of the waves has soothed us a lot. Although a family restaurant is not included in the accommodation, it offered excellent service and delicious food with large quantities. They also offer rental services for motorcycle scooters and quad bikes at competitive rates. You won't find it cheaper on the island. The room was very well ventilated and we will be happy to come back to our next vacation . Basically excellent value for money and we recommend thank you for everything!

At the beginning, the owners were nice, kind, and helpful. They were always in touch whenever we needed something. However, on the third day of our stay, we discovered a giant rat in the room. The owner suggested placing a trap, but this didn’t make sense because the room had several large holes. It would have been better to address these holes first. I understand that we were in the middle of the jungle, where various animals are common, but sharing a room with a rat was too much. We decided to move to another place, even though we still had eight days left in our booking. I requested to change the booking dates, but after that, I received no response at all—just silence and being ignored.

The host and his family welcomed us very warmly. They will talk to you in spanish and english is a little bit difficult, but they are always trying to make the best out of our mediocre spanisch - but to improve our spanish skills it was the best! We were picked up right at the street, otherwise it would be a little bit difficult to find. The room was clean and directly at the beach. If you have a light sleep you should bring Oropax, because the wind is loud and constant. There are a lot of lovely dogs and a restaurant just around the corner. The waiter was always very friendly and the food was very good. We rented a scooter for the whole week and the price was fair :) Would definitly recommend going there!!

This was a dream vacation for my partner and I. Ometepe island is a paradise and my experience on the island was only made better by Guissell and Juan Carlos. They both made my partner and I feel right at home the second we got off the ferry. Their home is very peaceful and is right on the beach front. You are steps away from an incredible beach with fresh coconuts from the trees outside. They have the sweetest pups that love to play with you and will run into the water with you! I am not fluent in Spanish so their employee Giovanni helped translate to English which was a great help to us! He is helpful, kind, and approachable! My only issue was at the time we went, there was no hot water and the shower water was colder than expected. However, I do not expect that to be a recurring issue, it was a timing thing. I cannot wait to return to Ometepe and stay here again! It was the perfect location with great hosts and staff. I highly recommend and miss the place dearly already!
