Very good location to go to Mangos Beach and Ojo de Agua. The place is very quiet, ideal for resting. The staff at the place are very friendly and willing to help with the things we ask of them. I highly recommend it. Also, they have breakfast and meals as an additional service, and that's a very important point.

Muy buena ubicación para ir a playa Mangos y Ojo de agua, el lugar es muy tranquilo, ideal para descansar. El personal del lugar muy amables y con la disposición de ayudar en las cosas que les solicitamos. Realmente lo recomiendo. Además que ellos tienen desayunos y comidas como servicio adicional y eso es un punto muy importante.

Lovely location, private, peaceful, and surrounded by wildlife. It’s close to some of the area’s best beaches and conveniently located on the way to Maderas Volcano. A great base for exploring the island.

In the middle of an organic fruit farm lodging is fantastic. Rooms are clean, quiet and some with air conditioner.

Decent accommodation with a superb exterior: very spacious, surrounded by nature. The only downside encountered was the really poorly equipped shared kitchen, with the few appliances being very old. The room is basic but does the job very well, especially with a private bathroom for that price. Note that the access road, if you have a motorcycle, can be a bit technical without experience.

Logement correct avec un superbe extérieur : très spacieux, en pleine nature. Le seul bémol rencontré a été la cuisine partagée vraiment mal équipée, avec le peu d’équipements très vieillissants. La chambre est sommaire mais fait très bien le travail d’autant plus avec une salle de bain privée pour ce prix là. A noter que le chemin d’accès, si vous avez une moto peut s’avérer un peu technique sans expérience.

From the very first minutes I felt surrounded by nature. Shared a taxi from the port with another person for $10. Place feel private and safe. 15 minute walk to the supermarket and the very warm and shallow water beach. Also, the hiking trail to the top starts right at the door. The kitchen could be equipped better, but I could do basic cooking. During my stay I temporarily realigned the furniture to better suit the computer work. Every evening you can admire the sunset behind the volcano while rocking on a chair with a beer.

The place was nice and I’m happy with the stay. Just a heads up that you can’t be afraid of bugs or small creatures here as they are part of the environment. I even had a little frog in my bathroom that I named Juan, which made the stay quite memorable. Hope he continues enjoying his home there 🐸💚

Very good accommodation and in a very good location

Très bon logement et très vel emplacement

Great place with amazing views of the volcano and conception volcano. Whilst the place was fine, the road to the accommodation is tough to handle if you’re on a scooter or bike.

The accommodation is very nice, the only detail is that access to the place is a bit complicated, lonely and dark.

el alojamiento muy bonito, el único detalle es el acceso al lugar es un poco complicado, solitario y oscuro.

Location is perfect. Room is basic but clean - no warm water. Beautiful garden and super friendly host! Helped arranged taxis to the ferry and cheap moto rental. Good deal for the price.

The room was very nice if you are looking for rest. The shower in my room was not really working. also always keep your key with you because my room was accidentally locked when I was outside (this should not be possible but something didn't work right). the night security gave me a new room for the night and this one did have an amazing shower so end good all good.

Very nice corner, quiet with rest areas. The room was comfortable. Recommended!

Très beau coin, tranquille avec des aires de repos. La chambre était confortable. Je recommande!

Lovely place to stay. Simple clean room and bathroom. Awesome garden. Scooter rental was easy and worth it. Really helpful personal.

We were there for almost a week and we really enjoyed it! The accommodation is really relaxed and the dog was so lovely! All the staff were very helpful! The way to the accommodation is a bit more difficult, but doable. The kitchen is solid, the view is fantastic.

Awesome place, very nice people and beautiful garden. Felt at peace, especially in the hammock with the pool table with the beautiful view on the volcano. Also it was awesome to have the Maderas trek starting straight in the backyard of the room. We loved our time!! Really trustworthy people. Renting scooter for a cheap price and accomodate us to meet us straight at the ferry so we could drive the scooties back to the room by our own for only 10$. Thank you for everything!

Our stay was very convenient to the Porvenir. Only the kitchen might need some love, and it would have been top to have water to drink provided... all in all we had a good time and it was worth the price we paid. The presence of the dog Lola was a great bonus :) Thank you very much, recommended!

Il nostro soggiorno è stato molto comodo al Porvenir. Solo la cucina potrebbe aver bisogno di un po’ di amore, e sarebbe stato top avere dell’acqua per bere fornita.. tutto sommato siamo stati bene ed valeva il prezzo che abbiamo pagato. La presenza del cane Lola è stato un gran bonus :) Grazie mille, raccomandato!

Good location with several restaurants within walking distance. The room was clean and had a fan which helped with the heat. There were several power cuts, but this can happen anywhere on the island. Able to rent a scooter from the hostel at a reasonable price, which was useful to get around the island. The staff were friendly and helped us get comfortable with the scooter. They offer a laundry service, which charges per item. We found this rather expensive in comparison with the rest of Nicaragua. Unfortunately, the clothes were still damp and didn’t feel adequately cleaned. We actually redid our laundry at a different location. Note the road leading up to the hostel is quite treacherous for the novice scooter driver, but is fine to walk. When renting a motorbike, ensure the tank is filled to the brim before returning, or you will be charged.

STAY HERE! My best stay EVER! If you come to ometepe stay at this place! I have used airbnb in multiple countries for many years and this place topped the list, these are my reasons why: 1. Arlington is an outstanding host. He is very responsive, we rented scooters (motorcycles) from him, and he even helped us arrange a taxi WHILE HIS WIFE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. 2. The staff are fantastic people and helped us in every way. We’d make chit chat about wanting to do something and they’d come back and say something like “we spoke to the place and they’re waiting for you with priority etc.” Just outstanding people. 3. The place is just gorgeous, it is really that cool. 4. The hotel has very cool fruit everywhere, you can eat it or just enjoy the nature. 5. The meals you can order are fantastic, the smoothies are so great. Stay here. It is very affordable, it is very peaceful, it is worth it. If I am back in ometepe I have no doubt I’ll be back at hotel porvenir.

A nice stay on Ometepe, very peaceful and with nice places to rest. Our room was nice. We rented a good scooter for a good price. A scooter is definitely recommended because it is quite remote. We were not very warmly welcomed, the woman who works there did not always look forward to it. Also a good tip to not leave your shoes outside (the dogs ate a piece of my shoes at night). But these are little things; we loved our stay!

Een mooi verblijf op Ometepe, zeer rustig en met mooie plekken om uit te rusten. Onze kamer was fijn. We hebben een goede scooter gehuurd voor een goede prijs. Een scooter is zeker aan te raden omdat het best afgelegen ligt. We werden niet heel hartelijk ontvangen, de vrouw die er werkt had er niet altijd veel zin in leek het. Ook een goede tip om niet je schoenen buiten te laten staan (de honden hebben een stuk van mijn schoenen gegeten in de nacht). Maar dit zijn kleine dingen; we hebben genoten van ons verblijf!

I stayed almost a week at Arlington's place. it's quite peaceful and near enough the lake and town if you have a moto. it would be a very long walk otherwise but the location is the best on the island in my opinion. Arlington helped me w the scooter rental and I really loved zipping around to the lake, restaurants, events etc... the driveway road can seem tough at first on a moto but it's doable and even fun. Arlington s staff were helpful and friendly. They helped me w everything I needed. I loved Ometepe Island so much and was glad to be right in the heart of the best beaches etc... I would always recommend a scooter or things will be far. The other thing is to hitchhike to others on scooters. Arlington's place has food, a stretching area, local coffee, precious dogs. you can easily cook and prepare food too. it's a lovely spot to enjoy this amazing island ( rent a scooter and take it slow). Thank you.

We had a nice time at El Porvenir. Arlington ist a great host. He provided us with everything we needed (Taxi, rental Scooter etc.) So garden area is so nice, you can see a lot of bird flying around, it’s so idyllic. From the breakfast terrace you have a beautiful view of the volcano! We would definitely come back!

Fantastic! Beautiful garden, nice room, yoga/workout space with padded floor and stunning views. Arlington is a great host. Highly recommend.

The place is peaceful, but not idyllic, the rooms are not very well soundproofed, glued to each other. We didn't have a little lack of privacy. The hospitality is very good and the hosts are extremely helpful and kind.

L'endroit est paisible, mais pas idyllique, les chambres ne sont pas très bien insonorisés, collés les unes au autres. On n'a eu un petit manque d'intimité. L'accueil est très bon et les hôtes sont extrêmement serviable et aimable.

Wonderful! The place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, away from the noise. The weather is cool and pleasant, the hostel is full of fruit trees and a garden that attracts different types of butterflies. The view from the common areas is amazing, and there are hammocks to rest and tables to hang out and meet the other guests. The room I stayed in was homey, and gave enough privacy and security to rest easy. It also had a couple of tables and chairs. The internet doesn't go very well with wifi or data - which is important if you go with remote work - but in some places you could get signal to make mobile data calls. Arlington and other family members were very very kind to me and very attentive to my transportation, food needs and to give me information about the area, events of interest and activities available. Overall, 100/10, fully recommended.

¡Una maravilla! El lugar es absolutamente hermoso, pacífico, lejos del ruido. El clima es fresco y agradable, el albergue está lleno de árboles frutales y un jardín que atrae diferentes tipos de mariposas. La vista desde las zonas comunes es asombrosa, y hay hamacas para descansar y mesas para pasar el rato y conocer a los otros huéspedes. La habitación en la que me hospedé era hogareña, y daba suficiente privacidad y seguridad para descansar tranquila. También contaba con un par de mesas y sillas. El internet no llega muy bien ni con wifi ni con datos - algo importante si vas con trabajo remoto -, pero en algunos lugares sí podías conseguir señal para hacer llamadas por datos móviles. Arlington y demás miembros de la familia fueron muy muy amables conmigo y muy atentos a mis necesidades de transporte, alimentación y a darme información de la zona, los eventos de interés y las actividades disponibles. En general, 100/10, completamente recomendado.

El Porvenir Eco Lodge was fantastic. Arlington was very quick to respond to messages and the on site staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We were given a lovely homemade drink on arrival, the room was clean and the shower was hot.  The location is perfect for Ometepe.. Very close to places to eat and drink (5 mins on a scooter).  It is so peaceful and quiet you would think there was nothing else around.
