Nice Host, good location but not worth the price we are now staying at an Airbnb with 3 stories nearly the same price.

The setting was beautiful. Quiet at night with incredible stars as no light pollution. Make no mistake you’re in the jungle sharing space with the primary residents….birds, cane toads, and so many butterflies. Not luxurious but absolutely comfortable. Walking distance to great local restaurants and motorcycle rental. We had an awesome stay and highly recommend this rental.

A wonderful stay in the nature! Finca del Sol is a very nice place where nothing is missing. There is unlimited free drinking water, a private cabana and a quick service by Miguel.

Tranquil almost idyllic place amid the trees, birds and butterflies. Nicely located on a little hill. Ample room, warm water available and even a small basin to do a some washing. Wifi is actually only to be used inside the cabin (outside is too weak). Communication went swift and smooth but on site they can only help you in Spanish. But honestly, I hardly saw anyone around. That said, it was a really lovely stay.

What an amazing stay!! The setting is just beautiful with incredible views of the volcano. I saw more butterflies here than anywhere else in my entire life! Our kids were attending the Worldschool hub in Ometepe, and this was the perfect location that allowed us to walk to school, restaurants, and into Santa Cruz where the beach is. The breakfast was great, and the staff were awesome!

Such an amazing place! I stayed for two nights and really could have stayed much, much longer. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, and it feels like the Finca del Sol is one big butterfly sanctuary. The grounds are extremely well maintained with beautiful tropical plants and flowers everywhere. My bungalow was fantastic and looked just like the pictures as well. Miguel was such a wonderful host who had great restaurant recommendations, and he also arranged a local hiking tour for me to the very nearby Maderas Volcano (the guide met me at the Finca, and we started our walk from the property!). The next morning, I went on a kayak tour (also arranged with Miguel's help) of the Istian River and saw some amazing wildlife. On my next trip to Ometepe, I will definitely be staying at Finca del Sol again!

We had a great stay with our kids at Finca el Sol. It was an easy walk to the beach and quite a few restaurants and a great place to spend time outside.

Stayed here for one night and can't stress how beautiful the scenery around Finca del Sol is. The lodge is surrounded by tons of rainforest wildlife - so this is a great fit for anyone who loves the outdoors. Vik, our host, and Miguel were unbelievably kind and took the time to make sure we were comfortable during our stay by checking in, organizing ATV reservations, and a cab back to the ferry we needed to take to leave the island.

This place is amazing! Great location. Cannot recommend enough, our family was so thrilled without time in the jungle. Clean, so much space to run, chill, enjoy. Miguel was a fantastic host, he pointed us in the right direction to see monkeys and the best foods on the island! Stop looking and book here!

We had a brilliant stay at Finca Del Sol. The room was really nice and clean and the setting is beautiful, feels remote but Finca Del Sol is close to lots of good restaurants and scooter rental just outside the entrance! Staff were very friendly and Pablo was excellent and gave us lots of great tips of places to go and where to eat! We would highly recommend.
