This property, located on Laguna de Apoyo is a hostel and restaurant with access to the lake. We enjoyed a buffet lunch in the restaurant, smoothies, diving into the lake from a couple of high porch like structures, kayaking, swings, hiking trails with monkeys high in the trees and an overall great day here. We did not stay at the hostel but the accommodations here are budget friendly, with small cabin like structures renting for $75. per day. Very nice, clean facility with friendly employees. The walk down to the property is full of steps and is quite steep, making the walk up a little daunting for those not in the best shape, But all in all, we enjoyed a perfect day here which will be a lasting memory in years to come.
7. Baho Vilma

Conhecemos o Baho Vilma por indicação de nosso motorista nicaraguense, que o elege como o melhor lugar para se provar esse prato. O local é simples, fica bem próximo ao Mercado Antigo, e tem apenas mesas externas. Você pode escolher entre o baho leve e o gordo (o prato consiste em carne de vaca, mandioca, banana vermelha e salada de repolho). Tomamos um refresco de cacau para acompanhar. Estava tudo delicioso, o atendimento é rápido e gentil e você pode pagar com cartão de crédito se preferir. Você pode ver a comida sendo preparada e cozida em grandes panelas que conservam tudo fresquinho e quentinho. Pagamos USD$12,00 para 3 pessoas. Adoramos e recomendamos!!!

This is essentially a chicken place combined with a Pappa John's Pizza place. I ate at the pizza part of the restaurant. The pizza was close to what you would find at a Pappa John's in the USA the only exception being maybe slightly less amount of toppings. Expensive for Nicaragua.The place was clean. Clean bathrooms. There was limited air conditioned space that had 8 tables. The service was prompt. There was free Wi-fi but you needed the code from the waitress.I did notice that the chicken part of the restaurant had a huge indoor playground area for the kids.

Iâve visited multiple different places at Laguna de Apoyo and this one really let me down. First of all, I brought my paddle board and they wouldnât let me bring it in. They said they had boards to rent so I couldnât use my own. Most places on the lagoon charge $5-$7 to enter and then once inside you can use their kayaks and paddle boards. This place requires you buy roughly $6 worth of overpriced food to use their facility and then they want $5 just to rent a life jacket and who knows how much to rent a kayak. What made me made is that there were clearly people who brought large inflatable floats and yet I couldnât use my inflatable paddle board They made a decent pizza but it was expensive for what you got. Much better food in Granada. Staff was not very friendly and not very attentive either. There are lots of other resorts to choose from......exercise your right. Try San Simeon itâs a much better value

If you are looking for a good option for Nicaraguan cuisine, this place could meet your wishes. Aks for the main course "Lomo de Costilla" with a side of fried beans with cuajada and crema.

We visited Ceviche y Cocteles in 2013 before the establishment hit it big in the guidebooks and here on TA. We returned in June 2016 and our experience was less than pleasant. The owner of the establishment is an older woman who lords over the location with an iron fist and permanent frown. All transactions take place out of the purse welded to her side. If she doesn't care for you she'll do passive aggressive things such as move tables around to make it clear they aren't for you (which will then subsequently sit empty) and throw dishwater from washing fruits and vegetables on the ground near or under your table to get you to leave towards the end of the day. There are a lot of other locations within the square that serve good food to a more local clientele without the attitude and with a much friendlier vibe. If I were returning I'd put my guidebook down and skip ceviche y cocteles and head to the location right next door which serves authentic grilled meats and mondongo soups. Or, try a place at any of the other three buildings with restaurants.

Pros - TONS of quality handicrafts in one spot. Lots of food/drink options. Clean environment. I never felt like I was hassled by the people running the shops. If I just wanted to browse, they didn't care! First place I've traveled in a while that was that chill. Seemed a bit touristy - but not the worst thing ever.
