Beautifully located and very helpful people

Place was just as described, awesome location right on the beach! The on-site restaurant was very convenient and served delicious food. Place shuts down around 10-11p local time, so would suggest getting anything you need from the host/staff before then. I read other reviews and knew to expect a very bumpy road leading in, and a good amount of ants inside the room. The cabin itself was very clean, however. All in all great stay, highly recommend!

Very charming little place by the water. Very calm and relaxed vibe which was exactly what I wanted. The place is basic but clean and comfortable with very kind people around the restaurant and Fernando was very easy to communicate with and flexible with my checkin/checkout which I highly appreciate when backpacking and constantly on the go. There's not much around the area but as long as you have a scooter or an ATV, you are just a short ride away from restaurants.

We had a really nice stay overall! The location is great and the view is absolutely beautiful — definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The place itself was comfortable, clean, and just as described in the listing. They also offered a complimentary hour of kayaking, which was such a fun bonus and made the experience even more special. Breakfast was included and it was delicious — we really appreciated that thoughtful touch. A couple small things to note: there were some ants in the room during our stay, and the road leading to the property is not in the best condition, so just be prepared for a bit of a bumpy drive getting there. Other than that, everything was wonderful and we truly enjoyed our time. Would recommend for the views and peaceful atmosphere!

Beautiful quiet place. Room has everything you need. Breakfast was also delicious and the host is very helpful and nice :)

Schöner ruihger Ort. Zimmer hat alles was man braucht. Frühstück war auch lecker und der Gastgeber ist sehr hilfsbereit und nett :)

Beautiful location with beautiful sunset views, the restaurant was good, the host was proactive towards our requests, for the price it was worth it, I recommend it.

Belle enplacement avec belle vue sur le coucher de soleil, le restaurant etait bon, l’hote etait proactif envers nos demandes, pour le prix ca vait la peine je recommande

Lovely place right by the water which gets beautiful sunsets every night. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. We really appreciated the AC in the heat. The room and bathroom weren’t the cleanest or most insect-proof but what made up for it was the on site restaurant and the delicious fried fish (we got it 4 nights in a row). All in all very good value for money, you get a tasty breakfast included too. Don’t arrive in the dark and rain with all your bags like us! The dirt track to get there is rocky, it was possible but difficult on a scooter - better to arrive in daylight or rent a motorbike. Also - do the hostel’s sunset kayak tour down the river! We saw caimans, monkeys, bats and lots of interesting birds, would recommend.

Fenando's place was just as shown on pictures. Very peaceful place to stay on Ometepe.

This is the second time we've stayed at Caballito de Mar. It really is a place with a beautiful view of the lake shore. We were looking for peace of mind, and that's what we found. And we managed to disconnect from the reality that stuns us.

Es la segunda ocasión que nos hospedamos en caballito de mar. Realmente es un lugar con una vista hermosa a la orilla del lago. Siendo que buscábamos tranquilidad es lo que encontramos. Y logramos desconectar de la realidad que nos aturde.

Gracias y siempre a la orden. tomaremos en cuenta su comentario para mejorar la habitacion. Saludos y que pasen bonito.

Fernando was a great host who also went above and beyond for me and in general the place is magical, also the worker is a charming man, thank them for a great stay

פרננדו היה מארח נהדר שעשה גם מעל ומעבר בשבילי ובכללי המקום קסום גם אובר העובד הוא איש מקסים, מודה להם על שהות נהדרת

I spent four relaxing days at Fernando’s place. The beach is beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend Fernando’s place!

Really great location right on the lake. Beautiful sunsets, clean accommodation, a few ants and geckos can be in the room. Air conditioning available, breakfast always very tasty and everything else in the restaurant too. I would come again!

Fernando and the entire team were very kind, helpful, and responsive. The setting is perfect with beautiful sunsets every night. The room was ideal for me and it was great to have a kitchen, cold drinks, lots of options for sitting on the water, and kayaks available. I also enjoyed that local people came here to relax. I am so glad I used Caballitos Mar as the base for my Ometepe visit!

The small cabin with minimalist-rustic furnishings has a great view of the lake. Although there is another cabin right next to it on one side and the restaurant on the other, this is not further problematic, as there is relatively little going on. Without a scooter or car you are quite inflexible and also have no way to shop, but with the kayak, which is made available to guests free of charge, e.g. drive to the nearby Playa Mango and eat there or just in the in-house restaurant, which offers delicious fish specialties. The bed was extraordinarily cozy and Fenando or his team always responsive and helpful – we'd love to come back!

Die kleine Hütte mit minimalistisch-rustikaler Möblierung bietet einen tollen Blick auf den See. Zwar befindet sich direkt daneben zur einen Seite eine weitere Hütte und zur Anderen das Restaurant, das ist aber nicht weiter problematisch, da relativ wenig los ist. Ohne Roller oder Auto ist man recht unflexibel und hat auch keine Möglichkeit einzukaufen, allerdings kann man mit dem Kayak, das Gästen kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt wird, zB. zum nahegelegenen Playa Mango fahren und dort essen oder eben im hauseigenen Restaurant, das leckere Fischspezialitäten anbietet. Das Bett war außerordentlich gemütlich und Fenando bzw. sein Team stets responsiv und hilfsbereit – wir kommen gerne wieder!

Fenando and his staff are just lovely people. We’re lucky to consider them friends at this point. Always accommodating and friendly and yet respectful or our privacy. The restaurant serves a variety of delicious food, served with professionalism and love. The lake is great for a swim and the sunsets are great from their vantage point. They rent kayaks, offer tours and provide excellent advice to make your visit to this magical place a true joy. Whenever we’re on Ometepe, we will be staying here for a few nights at least. Thank you, Fenando ❤️

It was an absolute pleasure staying here in my private cabin. The air conditioning worked great. Beautiful views right on the lake. The restaurant and bar is just right outside for when I wanted a drink or a bite to eat. Everyone was so kind and I would be happy to come back at any time.

The road to the house on the beach was an adventure, but totally possible in a small car! Everyone around was so kind and friendly making it totally relaxing and enjoyable.

Located right on the lake and well air-conditioned. The bed is cozy and there is delicious food in the restaurant

Direkt am See gelegen und gut klimatisiert. Das Bett ist gemütlich und im Restaurant gibt es leckeres essen

Amazing location with yummy breakfast and great aircon! Loved it!

Everything is great. The stay at Fernando's cabins in Ometepe is the best we did in all of Nicaragua!

Todo genial. La estancia en las cabañas de Fernando en Ometepe es lo mejor que hicimos en todo Nicaragua!

Great place! Highly recommend. Superchill, likeable people and friendly and helpful  staff. the bar/restaurant is very cozy and the food is  good. ask on time for the grilled fish. super fresh and delicious. breakfast also very good. Fernando & co. arrange  scooter, canoe trip and transportation to the  ferry for you. we had a great stay. Good price/quality ratio. Close to playa mango and playa el peru but less touristy  and more authentic and we love that.

Geweldige plek! Een aanrader. Superchill, sympathieke mensen en vriendelijk en behulpzaam  personeel. de bar/restaurant is heel gezellig en het eten is  goed. vraag op tijd naar de gegrilde vis. supervers en heerlijk. ontbijt ook heel goed. Fernando & co. regelen  scooter, kanotrip en vervoer naar de  ferry voor je. we hadden een super verblijf. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Vlakbij playa mango en playa el peru maar minder toeristisch  en meer authentiek en daar houden we van.

This was the best place we stayed at in Ometepe. There are a few small cottages like this one side by side and The location is right on a beach overlooking Concepcion volcano. The cottage is very simple, but the air conditioning worked great so we had a nice stay. The host is also very accommodating and let us check in a little early. There is also food and drinks at a little restaurant onsite which was a nice plus. Highly recommend!

Gracias  Matthew y pareja, un placer y que tengaís un muy buen viaje, saludos

It is a place to relax. I would stay there again.

Es un lugar para descansar. Volvería a hospedarme ahí mismo.

We really enjoyed our stay with Fenando. the location directly at the lake was just perfect- wonderful sunsets and super friendly staff/ yummy food (try the tostones☺️) and great recommendations. We also did a kayak tour on the river, which was really great- we even saw a caiman. The room was very clean, although not entirely new..but we felt really comfortable and welcomed during our stay. really recommended!

Fernando and all the staff were excellent hosts, very helpful with advice on local activities and any assistance required. The food from their restaurant was great and very affordable. The sunset View over the lake was gorgeous! All the other guests were friendly and sociable, but not too wild! I will definitely return here whenever I'm on Ometepe!

Awesome spot, thank you Fenando for being a welcoming host. If you’re adventurous and love quiet days by the lake, this would be ideal for you.

Perfect spot to stay in Ometepe. Very close to most of the attractions (waterfall, Playa Mango, Ojo pools). Sunset side of the island so the hostel was a great place to be in the evening, serving inexpensive food and beer. Fernando was almost always around, ready to help or just have a conversation.

Nice location in front of the lake, friendly stuff, good restaurant/bar, chill and easy going atmosphere! very recommended also for more days!

I really enjoyed the view and the food! Staff are very friendly!

the place is great the cabins are right in front of the beach, the locals come to fish, the restaurant is very good and cheap the place is quiet, the free kayaks with the rental of the cabin we took the guide to visit the river it was beautiful a lot of animals and birds 💯💯

l'endroit est génial les cabanes sont juste devant la plage, les locaux viennent pêcher, le restaurant est très bon et pas cher le lieu est tranquille, les kayaks gratuits avec la location de la cabane nous avons pris le guide pour la visite de la rivière c'était magnifique beaucoup d'animaux et d'oiseaux 💯💯

Fernando's spot is in a brilliant location, right on the lakes edge, with a really nice relaxed feel. The breakfast pancakes are delicious and so was the fish in the evening! Fernando let us take a kayak out for free at sunset and all of the staff were really helpful.  Nice to have AC for a few nights too! Thought it was the perfect place to stop on Omotepe and the price was great, would definitely recommend it!

It was an absolute pleasure! The cabin, the food, the hospitality, the sunset was all the best & everything I could ask for! Highly recommended! Thank you!

A peaceful beach with the true everyday living of local people happening on the shore.  We were glad to have a 4x4.  The road was a bit rough as it is the rainy season and there has been a recent storm.  But once we arrived, the tranquility, air-conditioning, natural beauty and quiet made our stay wonderful.

Great place if you are looking for nature, local vibes and far from city noises and hectic rythm. Dogos and horses around for animal lovers! Kayaking on the lake was easy, fun and free for customers. The crew was helpfull at the hostel and the room was a great deal as to it’s quality (25-30 us). Food was quick, good and affordable on site and people were kind to us 👌🏽

Beautiful place, with a lot of local character and charm. The staff is wonderful, the food excellent and the options for diversion great. This is a very real Nicaraguan environment, with horses and other animals and local people living natural lives all around. Great swimming! I spent a week and left very relaxed and happy.
