Lovely

Reviewed By Sightsee771288

Very happy here! Views were stunning. Staff was incredible and transportation charges they organized were fair. The compost toilet took a little getting used to and the smell wasn't unbearable but if it's the kind of thing that bothers you ask for a flush toilet.

Highly recommended!

Perfect views in the midst of nature.

Reviewed By 974jeroens

La Omaja has the best location on the island. The views are really amazing; a sunset with a vulcano as dramatic backdrop cannot be found in many places... The gardens are lush and beatiful as well and the cabana's perfectly placed to give you the most of the views and lots of privacy. Food is good too and the freshly made juices are a real treat and very affordable. You are pretty close to nature and expect a spider or two, but also expect howler monkey's visting up in the trees now and then! It's an easy walk to a lovely pier in the lake where you can watch the birdlife or the stars at night; this is not a swimmimg location, but that can be done nearby. Staff is helpfull in arranging all kinds of activities if you don't have your own transportation. The pool is a bit smaller than it looks in the pictures but great to watch the sunset. There's excellent wifi at the restaurant, but not at the cabanas.

Nice stay

Reviewed By joannetsarouha

Clean room with nice breakfast options everyday. Big bed and bath with really hot water! Parking is available for scooters or cars. One bad thing was that our safe was broken so we couldn’t use it and the hotel didn’t do anything about that when we complained. The island is still developing and you are in nature so there were spiders and centipedes in our room, which is make my husband kill. But it’s to be expected in such a remote part of the world. Not many dinner options nearby, just two or three tiny restaurants. So, if you don’t have transportation you are kind of stuck with those options.

My favourite place on ometepe

Reviewed By NemoH1

Was blown away by this place. The owners are super responsive on WhatsApp with all the questions I had. They set up an ATV for me right at the ferry which really made my trip. And they have thought of everything in the rooms. A bottle of wine in case you’d like to buy one, a bar where you can buy soda or beer, and two order in food menus where you can get delivery in case you’d like to stay predominantly in your cabin. Additionally the place is just so special. Right in the jungle and surrounded by nature, with screens so you can hear the jungle all the time. Will be staying here every time I come to ometepe! 10/10

Magical Jungle Cabanas

We spent four nights here and absolutely loved it. Megan and Nemer were so helpful and accommodating with everything we needed. We loved their dogs, the fresh fruit and the howler monkeys. The entire staff was very nice. We enjoyed having breakfast in the kitchen and planning out our days. The cabins were very well maintained and so much fun to sleep in. The views of the volcano were amazing! We will definitely be back!!!

Eco retreat with million dollar views!

Reviewed By bucketlisttravellers

Finca del Sol is a boutique accommodation option a short walk from the main part of town in Sasnta Cruz. The property is spacious and the huts are well spaced out throughout the property. We were impressed by the size of the individual huts. It is an eco retreat so the bathrooms have composting toilets and the property mainly runs on solar power. We had a few electricity outages while we were there. There is wifi on the property but only at the communal hut, which is a bit removed from the accommodation. It’s not the most convenient if you are a remote worker, however it’s perfect for people wishing to disconnect. At night you can see so many stars in the sky and the property has gorgeous views out to Volcan Concepcion. Breakfast is included in the room rate and the breakfast includes eggs, bread, fruit salad and coffee. Each room has its own water filtration system. They provide alcohol gel for guests to use.

Finca Montania Sagrada

Finca Montania Sagrada is on a open plain at the foot of volcan Madera at 200 mt above lake level. Coming here is not for everyone. The short road (400mts) to reach our gate is very stony and bumpy. Not all vehicles make it up. In the rainy seasons, May, June, September and October it becomes worst. Exploring the neighbourhood is best done walking. Accommodations are all new and confortable, all have ensuite bathroom with hot water, private balcony/porch with rocking chairs and hammock. All are fitted with ceiling fan and electric kettle with a selection of herbal teas and coffee. The finca has many resident animals, horses, dogs, cats and parrots. Kindness towards animals and nature is a must! If you love Nature,Animals and to relax, the Finca is the right place for you

My Favorite Place

Reviewed By ojaimich

I recently made my eighth visit to La Finca, on Isla de Ometepe., Nicaragua . I toy with going to other places in the world, but in the end -I always return here! Why? For starters,It’s stunningly beautiful! La Finca combines being very close to nature and animals with a touch of Italian Sophistication. I can lay in a hammock and have a view of two different volcanoes .The villages of Merida and San Ramon make me feel like I’m living 100 years ago. The people and lifestyle here are friendly and agrarian. The hosts here,Hari , Mirca and Marilena treat you like family. Their fresh, homade Italian cuisine is divine. There are at least five languages spoken here. Activities:. You can visit anywhere, either walking or by horseback. There is kayaking, fishing , hiking and Nicaraguan “ Comida Typica “ and Nicaragua close at hand. They have over 20 gentle riding horses to choose from 5000 year old petroglyphs are everywhere to explore. They are right on the trail to a dormant volcano with remnants of unique rain forest, found nowhere else in the world. A beautiful lake is in the center of the volcano. They have a pack of wonderful Ranch dogs that will escort you if you wish anywhere you want to go. It’s just the most fun place and breathtakingly beautiful. -Mark twain wrote about Ometepe the island. And the dogs… It’s just the most fun place and breathtakingly beautiful. -Mark Twain wrote about Ometepe island. Need I say more?

Beautiful view, far away from the town

Reviewed By kthernehill

We stayed in this hotel as part of an Intrepid group tour. It is situated away from town, and has spectacular views, and a lovely area of land, some of which is overgrown. The rooms are very spacious, with comfortable beds, and the bathroom is fine. There is a large pool, and plenty of space to sit around the pool, and there is an area where food is served, and groups can meet up. Unfortunately, we felt that although this hotel is good for groups, as they have a means of transport, it would not really suit independent travellers, as they would be quite isolated, unless they came on a motorbike. We had two meals in the hotel, and were very disappointed – some of the least appetising and satisfying food we were served in Central America, and quite expensive. One of our group complained and was told she didn’t need to pay for the food, but we had already paid, so we just left it. We went on a few good tours from the hotel, and one of the tour guides who picked us up pointed out a Green Vine snake near the car parking area, and one of our group saw a tarantula on the path near the rooms, so do be careful. The hotel space is very beautiful, but there is a lot of land, which is difficult to keep clear. I probably wouldn’t stay there again, but if you want to get away from it all and spend time in a beautiful place with few people around, this would suit you.

Fantastic stay on this wonderfull island

Reviewed By Hassink

This place is fantastic and the family that runs it are extremely friendly. I should really look if I have some pictures of it because it looks 10 times nicer in real life than on these pictures. It's not too far from Moyogalpa, a nice 15 min walk. We stayed 3 nights a would have stayed longer if we could.
