Miguel est un hôte exceptionnel. Il nous a trouvé un excellent guide pour escalader le volcan et un taxi qui nous a permis de faire une halte pour une heure de kayak dans les mangroves, au retour. Il nous a préparé des lunchs pour l'
escalade. De plus, il nous a préparé des déjeuners tôt pour nous permettre d'être en temps. Il est venu à notre rencontre a notre arrivée. Il fut attentif à nos besoins pour rendre notre séjour idyllique.
Nous n'avons pas apprécié de rester plus longtemps dans ce décor exceptionnel. Nous aurions aussi aimé partager plus de temps avec lui et sa famille.

La tranquillité et la vue sur le lac. Maykell a répondu à tous nos besoins et la cuisinière super chef nous a préparé d’excellents repas.
Tout était parfait. Nous recommandons cet endroit.

Das Hotel bietet eine tolle Aussicht und man hat die Möglichkeit auf eine warme Dusche. Der Besitzer ist hilfsbereit und kümmert sich gerne , um alle Anliegen.
Leider ist das Frühstück sehr überschaubar ausgefallen und den Kaffee muss man extra bezahlen. Vor Ort preisen sie jedoch eine große Speisekarte an , als wir dort waren, gab es jedoch nur noch die Auswahl von 3 Gerichten, weil sonst nichts vor Ort war. Das Zimmer ist sehr hellhörig und es ist sehr laut mit dem Wind. Die Klimaanlage ist unfassbar laut und wenn man sie anschaltet dann vibriert die komplette Wand. Wenn die AC läuft, ist es nicht empfehlenswert duschen zu gehen, da sobald sie den Wassererwärmer einschalten, das Licht ausgeht oder es zu einem kompletten Kurzschluss kommt.
Die Unterkunft hat Potenzial. Vielleicht hatten wir auch nur Pech. Ich habe dem Besitzer unsere Belangen mitgeteilt.

It’s not so relevant regarding the property (which was amazing) but needs to be said, Maiguel the owner is a legend. We were walking in town and came across a little puppy owned by some locals that looked very unhealthy. We were super concerned of its health as this little thing looked like it wouldn’t live much longer. My girlfriend was especially upset by seeing this. We shared what we saw with Maiguel and he accompanied me back to see the puppy and its owners. He spoke to them to better understand its situation. It had a few health issues and was underfed. We gave a small amount of money ($15) to buy medicine and vitamins for the puppy and he promised he would come back with a vet to treat it. A few days after we left, he sent me videos of them treating the pup with de-wormer, and other necessary medications. It was so heartwarming to see and so appreciated that he managed this. Thank you Maiguel you legend!

Sehr, sehr nettes Personal, wir wurden gut über die Insel informiert, eine tolle Lage, sehr idyllisch und ruhig, tolle Aussicht auf den Sonnenuntergang. Bei der Ankunft haben uns Affen und jede Menge wunderschöne Schmetterlinge begrüßt. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und sauber. Wir konnten direkt bei der Ankunft ein Scooter mieten, es wurde sogar für uns getankt. Essen ist fantastisch! Frühstück sowie Abendessen. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt.
Ich habe nichts auszusetzen.

The view from our balcony was stunning. Amazing sunset over Lake Nicaragua, and we woke to the brightest rainbow I've ever seen.
Restaurant was lacking in provisions, they had nothing on the menu that I was wanting to order. Had to settle with what they had. It's a family establishment, however allowing the family children to watch their cartoons on a laptop in dining area made it difficult for conversation.

Gemütliches Zimmer mit toller Aussicht! Ein Deckenventilator und zusätzlicher Standventilator sorgten für Abkühlung. Man kann die Brüllaffen hören. Man kann es auch ohne Scooter bis zum Playa Mangos schaffen.
Eigentlich alles prima! Ein Sonnenschutz für den Balkon wäre schön gewesen.

This is a 10 from the heart.
A very nice family, good food, great location.
During the night, you can enjoy a sky full of stars. In the morning, at breakfast , there was a group of howler monkeys very close to us. Sunset views are great as well.
The last bus from Moyogalpa to Merida leaves at 4.40pm and it’s a 2 hours trip. There is a sign on the left side of the road just as you leave Merida, the bus will drop you there. Otherwise, it’s a 20-30$ taxi trip.
You can have lunch and dinner as well, food was delicious.

I Had an amazing stay here, I initially booked for 4 days but ended up staying for 9. Upon arrival, my friend was sick and Maykel was so helpful and took me to a pharmacy, helped translate, and made sure I left with everything that my friend needed. Whenever we needed help with anything, he went above and beyond. It is a family business and everyone was so lovely and kind, not everyone speaks English but we always managed when we couldn't find Maykel. It is such a peaceful beautiful stay so if you're looking for a nice relaxing stay, this place is perfect.

The girl is cute and sweet! She gave me birthday present and showed me birds, spiders and bugs. The whole family is friendly. The place has an amazing sunset. We had breakfast and dinner every day and loved the vibe and stay. Also it is super close to the volcano trail head. Highly recommended. Don’t look anywhere else.

I've been travelling for 4 months across south/Central America and this is one of the most welcoming hostels I have been to. Check in was seamless and he provided us with amazing information in what to do here. Provided us with contacts for amazing guide to the local volcano hike. Also gave us plenty information of what to do here. The food was amazing for both breakfast and dinner and the views from our room were spectacular, with amazing sunsets over the lake which made the stay here so special. Thanks for everything and I highly recommend to anyone staying in Ometepe to stay here!

The views from the restaurant and room were amazing. The hotel is surrounded by a tropical garden full of butterflies which was just amazing. Maykel and his family are so lovely and helpful and it was so easy to book transport and tours through them. Also the food in the restaurant is incredible and really affordably priced, we ate there for most of our meals. We would absolutely stay again!

Nice view from the room to the lake, really good Nica breakfast, the best I have had in Nicaragua! Friendly family run place.
The mattress was too soft for us and there are a lot of ants and mosquitos in the room, but that is probably the case everywhere on the island close by the lake.
9.0 / 10.0
The location is amazing, it's on the quiet part of the island. So you'll need to rent a scooter or take a local bus. But it's in the middle of the jungle, so be prepared to see a lot of animals.
Maykel makes you feel right at home and his wife is a great chef. Loved the fact that they grow all the fruit and veggies themselves
The water wasn't always warm (but hey, it's already hot enough outside) and a bit smelly sometimes
Only thing that was missing was a big mirror and some shelves in the bathroom

WOW! A fabulous stay on a fabulous island! Hosts went above and beyond for us and a family run business. Food cooked there and then, fresh produce from their backyard! Can’t put a price on the view from the top, could have sat there all day! Motorbikes available from the place also!
An absolute must on Ometepe!

The owner and his family were so friendly and helpful! The breakfasts and dinners were great. Beautiful sunset view of the lake! Close to hiking trails. Really charming place!
Water supply could be a bit more reliable, but they're working on it -- and it wasn't a big deal.

Amazing view and great location on the island! Great casita with lovely staff. Stayed in Ometepe a few times and this is by far the best bang for your buck. 11/10 recommend.

The food was delicious with many menu options.
The cook is the wife of the owner Maiguel. Sometimes it would take a while for our food to be prepared but they were very nice about it. We also texted them ahead that we wanted food or sandwiches prepared earlier or later if we weren’t able to be back to the hotel in time.
We would have liked the bathroom trash can to be emptied daily.
