Hoteles en Rivas

Ventajas: La comida espectacular a pesar que demoraron mucho, cenamos y desayunamos, el personal muy amable pero se nota la falta de colaboradores. Todos corren de un lado a otro, el hotel es muy bello, los chalets muy bien cuidados

Desventajas: La demora en servir el desayuno, la limpieza de la piscina

Ventajas: La amabilidad de los empleados

Desventajas: La habitacion estaba sucia

Ventajas: Staff was very friendly food was good

Desventajas: missing tv and mini cooler in room

Ventajas: Lovely place to stay

Desventajas: There wasn't something I didn't like

Ventajas: —- BUENO: Es un hotel boutique bellísimo!, simple, rústico pero lujoso, muy lindo el concepto! El hotel queda ubicado en una playa privada de arena blanca, bastante alejado de alguna ciudad, que fue lo que me encantó, se siente el ambiente natural y los propietarios han destacado eso en la arquitectura, para que los huéspedes se sientan en todo momento en contacto con la naturaleza. El restaurante es lindísimo y la comida del chef muy buena, hay de todo el el menú (internacional); estoy encantada con el personal ya que es sumamente amable, servicial y super super trabajadores. Los bungalows son muy bonitos, y los baños!!!, preciosos, sientes que estas en el bosque, jajaja Poseen caballos, bicicletas, tablas de surf , etc lo cual hace que los huéspedes siempre tengan opciones para divertirse! También poseen un vivero de tortugas, lo cual hace que este hotel tenga una visión ecológica que no muchos lugares tienen; me encantó! El lugar es tan lindo que con solo un poquito más de cuido puede mantenerse espectacular! Felicito a los propietarios por tan lindo proyecto, es un lugar especial, ubicado en una playa paradisíaca, con empleados increíbles! Volvería sin pensarlo!

Desventajas: —- LO NO TAN BUENO Lo único que si quisiera es que el dueño sepa que los empleados de restaurante en fin de año han trabajado sobrecargados y la persona que tienen de “gerente” no funge como tal, (me hospedé 4 noches y pude analizarlo), no ayuda a los meseros que prácticamente se han encargado solos de TODO, desde atender en restaurante super bien!,hasta llevar maletas a las habitaciones, mientras el pasea a caballo o se queda en el bar platicando con los huéspedes. Muchas cositas de detalles deben ser vistas por la persona que gerencia y en este caso la persona a cargo (muy simpático por cierto), quizas no tiene la visión o la capacidad para llevarlas a cabo. — Creo que es necesario avisar a los huéspedes que la calle de acceso no es pavimentada y que son bastantes kilómetros, ya que hay tramos bastante difíciles de pasar en un vehículo pequeño, aunque no es necesario utilizar doble tracción

Ventajas: From the minute we arrived until we left, the staff was the best: attentive, friendly and made us feel really welcome. The bungalows were perfect, designed in the round carried on to the bathroom. Stone privacy walls, in wall shower and adequate lighting all added to the charm. AC was good with ceiling fans in other areas. There was a bonus upstairs with 2 beds and a half bath. The swimming pool was sparkling clean but the beach was the winning feature for us. It was clean, the water was lovely and there were hardly any other people there. This will definitely be a return location for us. For was really tasty with too large portions!

Desventajas: Mattresses weren’t comfortable. The menu was too extensive so many items were often not available.

Ventajas: The location is perfect. The beach is amazing.

Desventajas: 1. The room had a hole in the roof. 2. They need to clean the rooms, it was very dusty and with bugs. 3. The food is very expensive and not everything is available. The quality of the food is no good also.

Ventajas: Muy bueno y ambiental

Desventajas: Deberían limpiar la piscina todos los dias estaba muy sucia el agua tupida,

Ventajas: La comida es DE OTRO PLANETA!!!, excepcional el chef. El servicio es INCREIBLE!!!, Gabriela y los demás chicos alto nivel de atención para con el detalle y el confort del huésped. Algunos puntos a mejorar son: a) el suministro de insumos para la cocina, ya que varios platos durante toda nuestra estadía no estaban disponibles por falta de materia prima b) a entendidas del concepto de "natural" del alojamiento (espectacular el baño y la ducha al exterior!!!!, toda una experiencia), consideramos que las camas DEBEN MEJORARSE, ya que al ser de bambú son MUY RUIDOSAS y afectan el buen dormir; además, en épocas de tanto pero tanto viento, el tener abierto el nivel superior genera incomodidades para dormir.

Desventajas: DEFINITIVAMENTE, LAS CAMAS!!!!!!!!

Ventajas: Era un lugar limpio

Desventajas: Muchas preguntas hacen El precio no está de acorde a la calidad Poco profesional el personal

Ventajas: -Fast internet -loveley people who have been super nice even when they had a very hard time

Ventajas: Julieta es muy amable y te ayuda en lo que necesitas. También te sugiere sitios para ir o evitar, tanto en la zona como el resto del país. Permite que uses la nevera. La habitación tiene lo básico y necesario. Quizá incluiría también un espejo. Dan toalla. El wifi va normal. La ubicación no es ni buena ni mala ya que el centro no es muy grande. Está a unos 10 minutos de la terminal de bus.

Desventajas: Solo hay 1 baño y una ducha. No me afectó al ducharme por las tardes, pero por la mañana puede haber que esperar en alguna ocasión. Las paredes de la habitación no llegan hasta el techo y eso hace que se oiga lo que hace el de la habitación de al lado, así como hacer más sencillo que puedan llegar a entrar en algún momento bichos. No tuve problemas con ellos pero si estás hasta tarde con la luz encendida... Es más probable que entren. Hay un papel en la habitación que indica que pueden entrar y de avisar si se come etc en la habitación para pulverizar. Yo la avisé aunque comí sobre la papelera y había que cambiar la bolsa, pero no se cambió ni hubo limpieza diaria. No la necesitaba porque en un día no mancho, pero ya que pedía que se avisara para evitar problemas y avisé... Esperaba el cambio. Aunque no depende de ellos, el vecino tiene gallos y a las 3h30 de la mañana se pone ya a cantar y le siguen los del vecindario. Si te despiertas fácilmente, es imposible dormir con el ruido, hasta las 6 o así que se calla. El colchón en mi caso ya estaba algo viejo. Necesitaría un cambio ya que se clavan un poco los muelles según la posición y se hunde del centro y un lado. No hay agua caliente en la ducha aunque se puede aguantar. Sería interesante poner una bandejita en la ducha para poder dejar el jabón y el champú, ya que hay que dejarlo en el suelo. En general hay muy poca presión del agua, pero al parecer es un problema general del municipio. Venden agua filtrada, aunque por el mensaje que te envían tras reservar parece que sea algo incluido que te ofrecen. No es nada malo. Si quieres la compras o vas al super, pero si esperas que esté incluida mata un poco las expectativas. Aunque reservé en Hostel Julieta creo que acabé durmiendo en Murph's Surf Shacks (que es el final del establecimiento) y me di cuenta ya al irme (siendo teóricamente el precio menor).

Ventajas: Julieta es una anfitriona muy buena y cariñosa. Ella ayuda con todo lo que puede y da buenas recomendaciones. El hospedaje es muy básico y no es lujoso - pero uno paga lo que recibe. Todo está muy limpio y ordenados y hay una cocina aparte para los huéspedes. También pueden lavar ahí. Restaurantes supermercados etc están cercanos.

Ventajas: Location is perfect if you need to be close to the border (25 minutes). Julieta was a great host, very friendly and helpful. There is a nice communal kitchen area & WiFi worked well.. the rooms are basic & quirky, but a very nice atmosphere overall..!

Desventajas: Fine for a night or two :)

Ventajas: Great place for a few nights in Rivas - we wished we could have stayed longer. It's more like glamping - we enjoyed the airflow and the very kind owner.

Desventajas: It was a bit noisy in the wind - but those tin roofs are like that everywhere and we were there on a particularly windy night.

Ventajas: Nothing.

Desventajas: In more than a thousand trips, so many and so many destinations to more than 60 countries from all continents, it does not remind me of a night as terrible as the one I lived in this room. Why? Because the walls are unfinished, there are no windows, only hammocks, sound insulation is a metaphor. Think you were sleeping in a zoo. The roosters crowed from 3am to 6am, the dogs bark non-stop and everything as if it were inside your room, built under some stairs, with the wind coming in freely. You cannot call what a room is. Sleep at several great and very best prices, mainly in Nicaragua. A bathroom is also open to the outside and there is no place to put shampoo, for example. The sheets and pillows had holes and the bed whenever I moved a lot, because one foot was loose. The mattress was also terrible for being concave. We have also noticed that a hoster reacts with rudeness and politeness whenever someone writes criticisms, even if they are constructive. P. S. I'm also a hoster!

Ventajas: La atención de Doña Julieta muy especial para todo..

Ventajas: Comfortable beds, very clean, Julietta is lovely and helpful

Ventajas: Julieta was great to us! We loved her very much. She gave us informations about great places to go and even let us borrow her iron to do some of our clothes. The place is very clean and is also very near to the bus station. We strongly recommend! Cheers

Ventajas: La amabilidad de la personal

Desventajas: Un lugar tranquilo y serca hay puesto de comida muy bueno

Ventajas: A good place to stay if you have to spend a night in Rivas. No more than that..

Desventajas: Be careful about mosquitoes!

Ventajas: Cama muy cómoda. Personal atento

Desventajas: Ruido de la calle

Ventajas: La amabilidad y hospitalidad de la dueña del hostel. Me ayudó mucho y me recomendó buenos lugares

Desventajas: Me gusto todo!

Ventajas: La paz que hay aqui .

Desventajas: La atencion es muy buena .se preocupan para que la pasemos bien y conoscamos lugares muy hermosos .los felicito

Ventajas: Excellent price for money Duena very nice and helpful with great advices

Desventajas: A bit of noice in the morning from the neighbor

Ventajas: Extremely clean and great wifi! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always around. We used it as a base for day trips to Ometepe, San Juan del Sur, and Granada - I'm glad we did! If you are looking for a no-frills place to stay, this is the one!

Desventajas: If you are looking for a hotel, this isn't your place; you get what you pay for. But if you want a roof, a bed, and a friendly face, this is the best place around!

Ventajas: Great place to stay!!! I loved it. Central and quiet. The manager is really nice and always eager to help. I’d recommend it to everyone.

Ventajas: The hostel is well located and the owner is really kind. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. For this price a really nice hostel

Ventajas: Wow what an excellent place super clean the owner is fabulous very friendly smiling the first moment I walked in I accidentally knocked over a pot and broke it I felt really bad but she smiled and said it's okay the location is excellent in a very quiet safe neighborhood about four blocks from the market I can't say enough good things about this place the mattresses are clean new soft and very comfortable

Ventajas: This place is the perfect stop over to ometepe. I’ve started here 2 years in a row and will be back next year. Quiet area of town, so if you’re tired from traveling, this is a great place to catch up on sleep. Julietta is a wealth of knowledge. She will make sure you get to ferry, she will get you a taxi and makes sure the taxi guy is on the same page with the fare. Thank you so much, and see ya next year. PS..you’ve got a great spot here. Daniel

Ventajas: weird one this, it does exactly what you need, one night to stay in town to catch a bus the next day....otherwise you’d cry

Desventajas: it does exactly what it aims to do, provide a bed and a safe place to sleep.

Ventajas: Nice friendly staff and very helpful Good location, close to local amenities

Ventajas: Hospitality of hosts

Ventajas: La tranquilidad y el silencio.

Desventajas: El aire acondicionado de la habitación no sirve, toda la noche paso derramando agua, y no nos habíamos fijado y se mojaron varias cosas, deberían de mejorar esa parte, además que esos cuartos son bien pequeños.

Ventajas: Owners have a good heart and take care of you, awesome service and accommodation on Isla Ometepe!

Ventajas: Amazing place and good staff, owner is awesome

Desventajas: All good

Ventajas: Absolutely amazing awesome place with the best staff ever

Ventajas: Good location, friendly hosts, nice garden.

Desventajas: The rooms are outdated, the blankets were old and wornout. There is no possibility to cook or anything, so you must go out to eat (there's some okay possibilities around). We haven't had dinner at the El Encanto restaurant so can't say anything about that but I wouldn't recommend having breakfast there.

Ventajas: Nice property in Santa Cruz. Lovely view of the volcano. Very friendly owner and staff.

Ventajas: El personal muy honesto

Ventajas: Beautiful restaurant overlooking Conception Volcano, and great wholesome breakfast. The room was spacious and I loved the terrace outside. The hotel does justice to its name; the garden is a delight to walk when you wake up in the morning. Clean and groomed and exotic. Prepare for lots of insects which for me was contributing to an enchanting rural experience.

Desventajas: n/a

Ventajas: Natural beauty, quiet and better place than those around here. Great views and glorious surroundings.

Ventajas: Lovely stay with such a beautiful view from the restaurant! WiFi worked really well. Owner is very helpful in organising activities, such as hiking and horse riding.

Desventajas: There's only cold water unfortunately. It is a bit of a walk from the main road. This little alleyway is unlit, so feels a bit dodgy when walking back after dinner or in the dark, but having said that, we were absolutely fine as 2 young females walking back alone. A few lights would help!

Ventajas: El hotel esta situado en una buena zona, el bus para justo delante del camino del hotel, La amabilidad de los propietarios siempre pendiente de los huespedes, el encanto del jardin, las habitaciones son correctas y el desayuno esta bien con las vistas espectaculares del Volcan, es la zona fresca de la isla y esto se agradece, cerca de otros restaurantes y hoteles y escasos metros del lago, un lugar para relajarse y pasar unos buenos dias

Desventajas: la entrada del hotel desde la carretarera dificil para gente con maletas ya que el estado del camino esta un poco mal, pero con la ayuda del dueño ningún problema el nos vino a recoger y nos llevo en su coche, por todo lo demas muy muy muy correcto

Ventajas: I really enjoyed my stay at El Encanto Garden Hotel. It's situated in wonderful nature away from the hustle and bustle, still super close to Santo Domingo beach, and with an amazing view of the volcanos. Great place to relax and reach different spots on the island. It's very clean and comfortable, and the restaurant serves great home made food. The family running the hotel is super welcoming and responsive. I was traveling alone but they made me feel very welcome and Carlos, the owner is very knowledgeable on the island and can recommend and organize different activities (hiking, kayaking, horseback riding etc). I highly recommend it! Thank you for hosting me Carlos and family!

Ventajas: If you are fine with the concept of Eco hotels (compost bathroom and some occasional bugs in the room), then this is a good eco hotel with great views of the volcano and surroundings especially from the reception area, very good fresh breakfast, friendly staff, beautiful landscaping, rooms had floor fans to keep cool, a pool with more views, hotel located higher up, out in the woods away from the streets. The road up is steep and rocky at some places. We drove with our minivan and got used to it quite well. So you don’t really need a 4x4.

Desventajas: There were a couple of guests who smoked cigars for a very long time in such a beautiful setting with such clean air all around. Would be nice if the hotel would extend its eco friendly environment to include smoke-free places especially in the common areas near the reception.

Ventajas: Pablo y el staff 10 points . El lugar super hermoso. La vista al volcán es majestuosa. Más que recomendable si tienen la oportunidad de visitar el Totoco.

Ventajas: Las habitaciones no es lo que te ofrecen el website. No tienen cocina ni nevera. La electricidad se corta en la madrugada. Necesitarías un carro 4x4. El manager no le importa el cliente.

Ventajas: Location provided fantastic views of Volcano and Lake with amazing sunsets. Food was good for all meals and had a good bar. Rooms were of a good size with outdoor showers. Compost toilet was fine. Staff all excellent, providing excellent service.

Desventajas: Would like to have had cooler drinks but always provided extra ice.

Ventajas: Desconecte de la rutina diaria,personal muy amable,vistas inmejorables,desayuno buenísimo.

Desventajas: El acceso al hotel se necesita un coche alto,o un todoterreno.

Ventajas: This place was paradise. The view was spectacular. Amazing value for your money. It was very peaceful and tranquil, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. We had the family house and it was huge. It had comfy big beds, a plunge pool on the roof, and sunroom with a breathtaking view of the volcano. We wanted to stay another night but It was booked up already, so Miguel went out of his way to help us find a different hotel for our second night. He was also an excellent bartender :)

Desventajas: Be prepared to encounter lots of fun jungle insects and creatures. Aka spiders, scorpions, and ants. If anything it made the stay more exciting and interesting!

Ventajas: The food was very tasty and prepared diligently by cooks who you can see working in their kitchen off the dining area. The reception staff who double as bartenders and waiters are exceptionally friendly, informative and dedicated to practicing their English. The beds and cabanas are clean and beds are comfortable.

Desventajas: You’re a bit far up the hill, so best to have your own means of transport or you’ll struggle at getting a reasonable price for a taxi or plan to spend a lot $$ on transport back and forth. The path leading to the lodge is quite bumpy and best accessed with a truck or SUV. The pool area is small and lounge chairs aren’t comfortable enough to fall asleep on. WiFi is only accessible in the reception area.

Ventajas: The amazing view

Ventajas: Really beautiful eco lodge located right in the jungle, with the best views, awesome poolside, lovely people, good food and topservice. Breakfast included, very good!

Desventajas: Food was a bit overpriced, but good. If you don't have a stomach for insects, big spiders and other wildlife, don't go here.

Ventajas: The view from our bungalow of the volcano was incredible. All the food at the restaurant was superb. The staff all v friendly The pool was great. Loved hearing the howler monkeys and birds in the morning. Highly recommend a 4x4 to get here- or get a taxi. Balgue town at the bottom is lovely.

Desventajas: Nothing. A piece of paradise in the jungle.

Ventajas: Amazing location!

Desventajas: Off grid is an attractive selling point for me but unfortunately there were issues with the solar power battery in our house. As we were checking out, the expert appeared to fix the problem so I think this issue may now be resolved.

Ventajas: Spectacular views

Desventajas: Too frequent power outages. No coffee/tea bar in room and not available until 7 when breakfast started

Ventajas: EVERYTHING!!

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: A super 2-night stay. We loved everything - comfy modern room, lovely hacienda-style property, great service and nice big breakfast. The many howler monkeys and banana plantation were a bonus. We will definitely be back soon!

Desventajas: Pretty bumpy 2 km dirt path to get to the property from the main road . A multitude of tiny fruit flies in the area around the hotel.

Ventajas: Atmosphere. Staff. Dinner, breakfast and bar. Cabins. Private terrace. Bathroom. Bed. Shower. Air conditioning. Host. Laundry service. Flexibility. Final touches. This place is gold.

Ventajas: The tranquility

Desventajas: Beautiful place, great Nicaraguan food and the view of the lake is amazing

Ventajas: The cabins were raised above the ground about a story, so it helped prevent critters from getting into the rooms. The rooms were large with an outdoor deck overlooking the beach and lake. There were lots of animals on the grounds - birds, monkeys, giant frogs. It was a paradise! The property had an outdoor restaurant for breakfasts and other meals. It was a very peaceful experience.

Desventajas: Nothing, It was great!

Ventajas: Todo, hermoso lugar y personal

Desventajas: Baño tapado

Ventajas: Staff was helpful

Desventajas: For the price and the rating the food could be better. The road to the property is a bit rough and it is away from other places so dinner options are limited.

Ventajas: The hotel is without any charm, the food is not good, the service is bad ...

Desventajas: Food was really not good. The hotel has no charm, no character, it's kind of a love-less place although the location would be beautiful ...

Ventajas: Beautiful location, staff helpful, beachfront cabanas lovely

Ventajas: Hermoso lugar, detalles en la decoración muy artísticos y de buen gusto, cada espacio era un detalle especial, me encantaron las fotos de decoración.

Ventajas: Setting has to be experienced. Treat yourself to a beachside cabin. Brilliant!

Ventajas: El servicio es buenisimo ,la comida exquisita ,la estancia a la orilla de la playa es linda y es completamente privada. En el dia se logra escuhar los monos ,es muy natural y comfortable ,es muy seguro .Se puede pasar un buen tiempo en familia.

Ventajas: Obran fue muy servicial a la hora de conseguirnos una excursión al volcán y de asegurarnos de que tuviéramos comida y agua. El personal es tan maravilloso y atento.

Ventajas: Clean, great staff,, comfortable rooms with A/C and hot water. Great view just in front of the Lake.

Ventajas: la vista en la mañana al Volcan Concepcion... es impresionante

Desventajas: el agua fria de la ducha

Desventajas: No electricity on one of our two nights. Expect ants and other bugs to be present in the room.

Ventajas: Friendly staff, great location on a beach

Ventajas: The location is great, right beside the lake! Staff is very friendly.

Ventajas: Estuvimos muy a gusto. El hotel tiene una situación muy buena, justo al lado del Charco Verde (paseo más que recomendable), frente a una playa bonita, muy cercano a Moyogalpa y también cerca del Volcán Maderas. Teníamos magnífica vista directa al Lago y por una parte y al Volcán Concepción por la otra. El personal muy atento y amable, nos ayudaron en todas nuestras solicitudes. La habitación sin lujos, amplia y agradable. Está muy bien la piscina. Al atardecer el jardín se llenó de luciérnagas. Buena relación calidad precio.

Ventajas: Great location and the stuff was really helpful. I will absolutely recomend it.

Desventajas: I didnt find anything wrong there.

Ventajas: Volcano view was awesome....right on the beach was nice too.

Desventajas: No maid service. nights, no new towels, sheets, etc. Too far away from other things on the island, not much in walking distance.

Ventajas: Excelente ubicación, las habitaciones limpias con un vista preciosa. El personal muy amables y atentos. La comida deliciosa y a un buen precio. Lo recomiendo

Ventajas: Josue was very helpful from the moment I walked in. He showed me straight to my room, which was a beautiful and very clean bungalow style. He explained the town and gave me directions to the beach, a look out and to a cheap eat (which was very good). There are bikes which he let us use for free and surf boards for hire. The property is very tidy and the kitchen has good basic amnesties. It is muy tranquilo, a great spot just out of town to lay in the hammock, read and book or just be. Thanks Josue for your help and for having me, you have a beautiful place

Desventajas: La cocina, no tiene apenas enseres para hacerte la comida y los que tiene, dan pena.

Ventajas: The room is super cute and clean. The commun spaces are nice with hammocks and little tables in the big garden. You can even borrow bicycles for free and rent surfboards or book surflessons. Josué was a perfect host, really welcoming and gave us lots of tips! I really recommand!

Ventajas: I spent almost 4 weeks in Amarillo Surf Camp. During my stay I could enjoy the lovely host from Josue. He was in every situation really helpful and gave a lot of information about the town, beaches, waves, safety stuff and and and. He's hostel its a place to relax, calm down, study Spanish and perfect for surfers. Just 5min. walk to Playa Amarillo. The room was clean, confortable beds and the outside kitchen has everything what you need for simple cooking. Bikes are for free and you have different surf boards to rent. I recommend this place to people who loves a simple, nice surf lifestyle. Thanks Josue for everything, I will come back in an other time

Ventajas: Todo muy ordenado y limpio. La atencion es exelente. El dueño nos ayudo con referencias sobre el lugar.

Ventajas: clean bathroom and mosquito nets for the beds.

Desventajas: We couldn’t lock the door out to the backyard, the place was filled with big bugs and spiders (it’s in the jungle so no surprise there, it was just not for us...) and when we wanted to ask for help we were the only ones there.

Ventajas: The owner Josue is a very nice guy that will help you with everything. The rooms are clean, there is a kitchen with everything you need. I will come back here for sure next time i am in el gigante.

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: Lovely large room about 10 mins walk into gigante town and 5 mins to the undeveloped Amarillo beach. Fantastic and helpful host and great value surf lessons.

Ventajas: Absolute amazing place to stay in gigante. The owner is super super friendly and helpful and relax. Helps you with everything you need, free bikes to use and the two dogs running around are adorable. Loved this place and highly recommend it.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Best location for surfers. 5 min walk to the break at playa Amarillo, 30 min to playa Colorado and 40 min to panga drops

Desventajas: N/a

Ventajas: Amarillo Surf Camp is a perfect spot to stay in Gigante. The rooms are extremely nice and the property is in a great location. Owner is very helpful, friendly, and relaxed. Kitchen was nice to use. And the two dogs are the best.

Desventajas: Nothing, my stay was perfect.

Ventajas: Bill and Casey were wonderful! If you are going to Playa Popoyo, staying at Soma is key- the food is wonderful, great staff, gorgeous pool, comfortable rooms, and awesome surf lessons.

Ventajas: what i like was, that they were constantly cleaning, and the staff was always here to helped or take order. the global environment was nice as well totally in the local way. abuela hanging around doing landry or just willing to speak if you wanna improve your spanish. roosters, chickens and pigs going around, straight view on the lake and in your back the volcano, mind blowing landscape and crazy sunset. the food was good as well, the waiting was quite long though. They would take order way after the closing time of the restaurant. once at 5 in the morning they prepare breakfast and food for us to take away to climb the volcano! good service! an hour by shuttle (9 dollars) little bit more with local bus (20 to 30 cordoba every time you change bus). easy to find if you ask around! definitly good value for money!

Desventajas: no toilet door just a curtain (in at least our room), it has been a bit weird to see that first because we share a room, my wife, me and two friends. but yeah if you need you go. local kids come to enjoy the wifi but sometimes straight sitting in front of the room. a bit weird to see as european but it is how they do!

Ventajas: The staff is so friendly and helpful!! José Luis always treat us as a family!!

Desventajas: The dining table has an amazing view of the lake

Ventajas: We have been travelling Nicaragua for a month now and came across this place while hitching and walking Ometepe for a week. Wow!!!! We were greated by such a nice family and shown and pristine white painted room facing the sunset on the lake, air con, fans and a nice shower. $10/night, we have stayed for 3 nights instead of continuing on. It's 5 minutes walk from the entrance of the waterfall and is a great base for the island, Sunsets are only seen on this side of the island. After a very affordable meal of fresh fish on the first night we decided to use the fire stove out back and make a chicken and plantain (which we picked up along the walk) broth and offer it to the family here. Such a nice experience. They offered us a free huge breakfast the next morning with juices and coffees, so nice, especially eating on the edge of the lake. You can see they have put a lot of effort recently into there business and are evolving as they learn more of foreign expectations of accommodation. We have seen a lot of travellers on bikes that come across this place for a beer, a meal and a view... They are distressed that they have already committed to the $8/night dorm bunk beds up the road when a great clean room for 2 is only $10/night here... With a portable air on system to boot. I'm a Michelin trained chef with my own accolades in the restaurant and hotel business, while this isn't the Berkeley or the Ritz it's a no brainer for $10/night and I'd happily give the FOH manager a job any time. If your spending time looking for that perfect affordable quiet place with a view and nice food then you should come and have a look here. Ps this is the only review I have written on this trip as I'm notoriously picky. Enjoy your travels.

Desventajas: Didn't have more time.

Ventajas: They tried harder to be amiable,

Desventajas: Too much noise.

Ventajas: This is a quiet location a few minutes walk from the San Ramon waterfall trailhead. It's on the lake, and each evening we watched a beautiful sunset as we sat down for supper. Jose, the manager, provided exceptional service, the property was very clean and the food was great. Great value.

Desventajas: This is an isolated location with no restaurants, bars, cafes or other forms of entertainment. If that's what you are looking for, this is a fantastic spot.

Ventajas: Todo perfecto.

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: Everything was very good:. very friendly manager, comfortable beds, peaceful place on the Lake far from noisy towns, few meters to swim

Ventajas: El lugar es tranquilo y agradable. Las instalaciones están en buenas condiciones y limpias. El servicio es muy amable y atento. Nos gustó mucho hospedarnos en el hospedaje la Cascada!

Ventajas: La atención del encargado es muy buena, son muy amables. La comida es muy rica, las habitaciones están muy limpias, cómodas y privadas. El ambiente es agradable, es bastante reconfortante.

Desventajas: El camino al hotel es un poco malo, es mejor ir en vehículo privado si es posible mejor 4x4

Ventajas: Nelly is an incredibly nice person. She was always around ready to give us advices and recommendations to discover the surroundings! When we came home from hiking the volcano all covered in mud she even washed our shoes and made us try tamale.

Desventajas: However, the cabaña we slept in was really dirty. The room looked like it had not been cleaned for weeks. There were animal excrements everywhere and lots of insects (we had a scorpion in our bed the first night). The toilet was leaking so we had to turn on and off the water everytime we used it. First we thought what else could we accept for

Ventajas: I arrived and the dormitory i booked was full. Nelly instantly upgraded me to a private room for the same price and i was able to check in at 10am. Because i was running the fuego y agua race the following morning she woke up early to make me breakfast and coffee (0400) and got her son to take me down to the start point at 0420 so i could save all my energy. She also arranged to have him pick me up at the end of the race and take me back in the evening. They are a very friendly and relaxed family and i can't thank them enough for their hospitality and for making my life that much easier over the days i spent there. The breakfast was really nice. - for what you pay you cannot go wrong. It felt like more of a traditional homestay than a hostel. So you can't expect the luxuries that most hostels provide but based on the price you pay common sense would give you that idea! Also the water is good for drinking as it comes straight from the volcano. They rent pushbikes for 50 cordoba for 24 hours so getting around is easy and if you have a quad or scooter you can go explore the local area Thanks Nelly and family you guys were awesome Matt UK (campion

Ventajas: This hostel is a few minutes from the town of Santa Cruz. The host was very friendly and accommodating. My cabin was great with a private shower and toilet. Breakfast was offered each day for a few dollars more. Everything was fresh. Nelly, my host helped me arrange kayaking, horseback riding and even took me to the local Ojos de Agua which is the local fresh spring water pool. She arranged a taxi back to the ferry so i did not have to take the bus. The view from the property is outstanding with both mountain volcanos in plain view. I will definitely return.

Ventajas: Nelly is an incredibly nice person. She was always around ready to give us advices and recommendations to discover the surroundings! When we came home from hiking the volcano all covered in mud she even washed our shoes and made us try tamale.

Desventajas: However, the cabaña we slept in was really dirty. The room looked like it had not been cleaned for weeks. There were animal excrements everywhere and lots of insects (we had a scorpion in our bed the first night). The toilet was leaking so we had to turn on and off the water everytime we used it. First we thought what else could we accept for the cheap price of 4,20 Dollars per night as a couple and felt quite alright with the situation. When we checked out after three nights Nelly charged us double of the price we booked on booking.com! She explained that it was the fault of the website and a new law and that she cannot change the price options online. We know that this is not true and that it is just a very unfair way to attract guests to her hostel! Even if it was true we would expect her to contact us via mail after receiving our booking or at least inform us once we arrive at the place that the booked price is a mistake. In the end for the price paid we could have chosen a cleaner hostel!!!

Ventajas: Perfect location to hike Volcano Maderas or to go to the beach. You can borrow a bike. It’s in a countryside, run by a local family so don’t expact luxury hotel. It’s simple and quiet homestay with an amazing volcano view. Enjoy the most beautiful sunset sitting up in the tree at the backyard.

Desventajas: Be prepared for a lots of mosquitos and flies. Like on all Ometepe island. The beds have a mosquito net but it’s still impossible to escape them.

Ventajas: Nelly the host was very friendly and she made us this amazing dinner! We also had a very good night sleep, quiet and peaceful

Ventajas: La comida estaba cruda y cara por 100 pesos. A pesar de eso la facilidad era buena. Personal muy amable.

Desventajas: Que se me robaron un dinero de la habitacion sin ninguna explicacion alguna, aun estando el cuarto cerrado con llave al irnos de madrugada para subir el volcan concepcion. Despues la duena trata de explicar que pasan campesinos por su propiedad y segun ella estos habian roto una tabla al lado de la puerta la segunda vez que dejamos el cuarto solo para ir a banar, cosa que no estaba asi antes. Otra cosa que sucedio la primera noche es que alguien entro a la habitacion mientras dormiamos mi pareja y yo.al despertar en la manana encontramos la puerta desenllavada a pesar que quedo enllavada dos veces segun las indicaciones de la duena.mis anteojos los encotre tirados en el suelo en vista de sobre la mesa donde los habia dejado y el celular desconectado del cargador. Muy mistico y desagradable. La segunda noche dejamos blokeada la puerta con muebles y tomamos foto de las cosas para serciorarnos que no habia desaparecido nada.

Ventajas: The hostel is perfect to get the feeling of the island. It is near a couple of beaches and activities. The host family is lovely and the bed is comfortable! We can highly recommend this place.

Ventajas: Very good hostel if you want to spend your days at a local warm hospitalitt family. For a small amount they serve you bedfreast and diner.

Ventajas: Family Homestay atmosphere.

Desventajas: No water for 3 days in the room, this is where the bad rating comes from.

Ventajas: Nice hostess, atmosphere in nature, staying in local family farm

Desventajas: , dark at night, far from center of santa cruz ,Not clean, , frogs jumped from toilet and shower

Ventajas: Tremendo ambos. Sugiero mas variedad en Res, Pescado y postres.

Desventajas: La habitación numero 4 tiene un star afuera muy pequeño; Sin embargo, otras mucho mejor. Recomiendo mucho la Paz familiar del lugar pero sugiero juegos para niños.

Desventajas: Que no le daba opción al cliente a conocer lugares turísticos ,ya que ellos quieren indicarle donde ir a uno, hay muchos zancudos me picaron todo mi cuerpo.

Ventajas: The staff was great! The setting was peaceful and welcoming! If you want to unplug and unwind, this is the place.

Ventajas: Staff is really nice, food pretty good, excellent location.

Desventajas: We did have to share a bathroom with the room next to us, good thing is that our neighbors were also close friends so we didn’t mind.

Ventajas: Staff was extremely helpful!! Organized everything for us and had great local contacts.

Ventajas: La comida estuvo muy buena

Desventajas: No habia tv en el estancia y cobran mas caro por tener television, lo cual no me parece

Ventajas: The food was really good. Lot of choice and healthy nice food. Service was great! Nice location, nice view.

Desventajas: It felt like the staff was ripping us off about transportation. They said that we could only get a taxi from San Jorge to Granada and we had to book it as soon as possible with them. We asked if a chickenbus was possible, and they said no. Then we found out it is possible for a lot less money. Also with activities they where a bit pushy. No wifi in the room.

Ventajas: Lovely common areas, good breakfast, cold ac, good hot water. Really nice that they booked my ferry for me. Easy parking.

Desventajas: No wifi in the room. For the price, I would expect wifi and a private bathroom.

Ventajas: Great position, staff very helpful, food was good too

Desventajas: We were unaware of a shared bathroom but it was ok. Need a mirror and shelf in the room

Ventajas: El sitio muy bonito. Personal muy amable. Instalaciones agradables.

Desventajas: Pocas opciones en menú. Oportunidades de mejorar la cocina.

Ventajas: happy hour and dinner were excellent. Breakfast satisfactory

Ventajas: Staff is so kind and helpful. The property is gorgeous and so is the beach. Good breakfast.

Desventajas: The shower in my bathroom was quite bad- given the loveliness of the rest of the place it was surprising. Curtain doesn’t reach floor so bathroom floods, toiletries are economy sized Palmolive soap and water was alternately scalding or cold with almost no pressure. This area could be improved!

Ventajas: Helpfull and friendly host Food is verry good

Desventajas: Small room

Ventajas: The food was great and local!

Desventajas: I wanted to stay longer but I had other engagements.

Ventajas: El desayuno muy rico y su personal muy amable.

Desventajas: La ducha deberían mejorarla

Ventajas: El desayuno estuvo excelente, la amabilidad de los encargados estuvo excelente. La ubicación del lugar es un poco alejada del centro. Se visitó la catarata y muchos otros lugares bellos cerca de la playa.

Desventajas: Cuando vimos las fotos y características del lugar indicaba que tenían piscinas, cuando llegamos era falso. No había piscina, escogimos el lugar por la piscina y las instalaciones que nos ofrecían.

Ventajas: El paisaje que lo rodea

Desventajas: La habitación no tiene baño propio, es compartido y el transporte no es muy accesible , está lejos del pueblo y eso está muy bien si sabes conducir moto porque puedes alquilar una, pero yo no se conducir

Ventajas: We liked that it was away from everyone and it felt like we were in the jungle. Tropical plants everywhere and near the Ometepe water. It was like being at a ranch with a nice family who made you feel at home. Great food options. Relaxing, quiet and very peaceful.

Desventajas: Even though it was an open kitchen we felt like we weren’t allowed to go inside the kitchen. Everything was great just make people feel more welcomed to go inside the kitchen..
