What an amazing place!!!! Melissa is a blessing. We speak maybe 5 words of Spanish but Melissa was able to coordinate everything for us. Scooters, taxi's and other assistance. All of the staff on-site are also excellent. Treat yourself and stay at this place.

Awesome guest house with a great view. Chris and his team definitely took care of us!

The Luxury Tree house is built of high quality wood, stone and fixtures. The shower had a nice flow of water, though we didn't experience hot water, but the temperature was refreshingly cool. The hammocks are great lounging spaces that even the teenagers very much enjoyed. The first level is basically the sleeping level, as there is only one chair on that level for sitting spaces. (Although my sister and I enjoyed just sitting on the floor of the front deck on that level). You have to climb an almost vertical ladder in order to get to the top level to enjoy the two hammocks - and futon (which we used mostly for a sleeping space). The views on both levels were spectacular! It is no joke when they recommend 4-wheel drive to get to the site! We were glad that we had two ATV's for the four of us and was worth the high price we paid for them in order 1) to get to the tree house and 2) to have more independence to roam the area and see the attractions beyond the farm. The tree house is located equivalent to about 4 blocks from the nearest restaurants and much further from other attractions. We ate breakfast on site every morning that was cooked from fresh ingredients and our fabulous cook changed up the ingredients every morning-I wanted to bring her and the food home with us!! :) If you are at all squeamish about bugs, I just wanted to caution you that the tree house is not seal-tight. We had a migration of hand-size spiders move through the area, so they and other insects basically roamed the indoors with us as they pleased - although mostly at night (even though the tree house is built on stilts at least 10 feet above ground). The staff at the tree house / farm were very helpful in helping us navigate the island, find places to go, and recommended places to eat lunch and dinner. Sarah also gave us a tour of the farm which I love what Christopher (and co owner) has done with the land and his philosophies of educating the Nicaraguan community and other international visitors that volunteer/work on the farm. The organic farm and tree house is definitely an experience that you will NOT want to miss! I recommend it and hope you choose this place like we did! :)

El alojamiento casa del árbol era increíble y unqiue. La habitación en sí si es absolutamente precioso y nos encantó ver la puesta de sol sobre el volcán desde el balcón. Los anfitriones fueron muy útiles para organizar las reservas de ferry, guías de turismo y la cena de entrega justo a nuestra habitación! Estábamos un poco decepcionado de que no nos ofrecieron la visita a la granja como prometió en la descripción. Hubiera sido muy interesante para aprender más sobre el lugar y habría ayudado a sentir más en "casa" durante nuestra estancia. Durante 5 estrellas que cabría esperar de un desayuno de mayor calidad. La tostada de pan blanco procesado parecía contradictorio con el "plato de diversos alimentos para el desayuno frescos de granja".

Es ist zu viel für mich so hier zum Schwärmen ist, was Sie wissen müssen: -Melissa Ist so prompt zu reagieren und können für Sie eingerichtet nichts. Ja, es wird teurer sein, als es sich selbst zu finden, aber die paar Dollar extra sind wirklich lohnt sich: sie tiefe Verbindungen auf der Insel haben und Sie werden die Best-of-the-best haben. -Erwing Ist ein fantastischer junger Mann. Er ist so hilfreich. Dieser Ort ist in der Mitte des Dschungels und er mit einer Spinne für einige andere Gäste behandelt, die dort waren. (Wir lachen immer noch über, dass man hah) -Die Insel ist insgesamt gem. In der Tat, ich fordere Sie nicht hierher zu kommen, so dass Sie Sie es nicht wissen, jeder sagen. Es sollte gehegt und gepflegt werden. -Lastly Sind die Wanderungen auf den Vulkanen kein Witz. Es ist kein "Spaziergang im Park." Ich bin ein erfahrener Wanderer und es war ziemlich schwierig. Für alle, die tausend und Füße nicht bestiegen hat und eine 8+ stündigen Wanderung genommen, kann dies nicht für Sie sein. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird Felipe geben Sie eine tolle Tour, und wenn Sie in Spanisch ein bisschen unterhalten kann, ist er eine sanfte und freundliche Seele. Die Casitas wir awesomely Hand von lokalen Materialien gebaut sind, die Tiere sind so nett und freundlich, die produzieren soooo lecker, ihre Mission lässt Sie mit Hoffnung für die Zukunft, aber vor allem, das Personal und die Einheimischen wird Sie verzaubern. Nochmals vielen Dank für so viel mehr, als wir erwartet !!!

The Selvista-Guesthouse-Team did a really awesome job! We feel warmly welcome and loved to be guests at this beautiful and very special place on isla de ometepe! It is a good place to relax and enjoy the quietness of the nature. The really good breakfast helped us to start perfect in the day. If you want to have a dinner, you are just a few minutes away from the town or Melissa orders you some food at perhaps one of the best restaurants on the island! One of our favorite places of the entire travel trough Nicaragua! Don't miss it! Thank you so much!!!

My partner and I stayed in the Mango Treehouse for two nights. It had just been built two months earlier so it was very clean and very new. It's a lovely dwelling with all amenities in the room. Though I should point out that there are some crazy bugs that come out at night! Big spiders like to get cozy in the corners of the treehouse (In case you're scared...but it is the jungle after all!) We didn't make much use of the second floor of the treehouse as there's only a couch and a yoga mat, but I can see it being a very nice spot for yoga in the morning. Melissa was very responsive on email and over the phone and was super helpful organizing all our taxis and tours (we did the hike up Maderas and the coffee roasting tour, I recommend them both). We really had nothing to worry about because Melissa made it so easy. Erwing was on site and gave us a nice tour of the property. He was always on hand if we had any questions. Breakfast was provided in the morning and it was very tasty. The town of Balgue is about a 20min walk and is quite charming. All in all a great experience. It's a very lovely and peaceful property :)

Melissa and Erwin's were just lovely hosts from far before our arrival through the end!! They went above and beyond to provide helpful suggestions for unique experiences on the island, help with getting there and leaving (including making a ferry reservation for us to travel with our rental car to and from the island). They cooked up wonderful breakfast and made us feel comfortable in our deep jungle escape. It's truly a once in a lifetime getaway!! Be prepared for an adventure!!

casa de linda? es todo lo que necesitas, nada que no desee. tranquilo. hermosa. fresca brisa del lago. casita cómoda. hierbas frescas, frijoles y espinacas de la huerta de Linda. suministro de coco ilimitado, con una lección de machete libre de Modesto para que pueda preparar su propia. delicioso restaurante al otro lado de la calle si no tiene ganas de cocinar. salir por la puerta de atrás de la playa - y tomar 2 perros adorables de linda con usted - en cualquier momento que lo desee ... para darse un chapuzón 5 minutos en el lago, o un largo paseo por la playa tranquila con garzas y urracas todo . lugar de linda es una joya, de esos que soy reacio a escribir una reseña estelar para simplemente porque quiero todo para mí. es un retiro, así que no esperes tv o comodidades más allá de la "comodidad país". wifi suele estar disponible hasta la calle si quieres para sentarse y tomar un café y el registro. La cama es cómoda, los electrodomésticos de todo el trabajo, la ducha tiene agua caliente, hay buena luz, y el servicio celular es bueno si usted tiene un teléfono local o están usando su intl. si debe tener internet, comprar un módem de 'claro' la empresa local cuando se llega a Nicaragua. Se conecta a su computadora portátil y funciona en señal de celular. Traiga su español - o al menos un diccionario buen viajero - para obtener el máximo provecho de su experiencia en Ometepe, que está habitada por gente amable que ahora viven en una isla concedido la condición de reserva de la biosfera de la ONU! quizás la parte más ganador de alojarse en casa de Linda Linda es ella misma. Después de pasar años viajando y enseñando, que ahora ha sido 11 años en Ometepe y ha construido (literal y figuradamente) un hogar y una comunidad - que tiene conexiones con los vecinos, propietarios de restaurantes locales, guías de senderismo, guías de kayak, dónde obtener lo local pescado, niños ometepan que participan en limpieza de playas con ella y reciben útiles escolares como recompensas, todo alrededor de una persona genuina y temible. Linda siempre fue capaz de aconsejarnos cuando teníamos dudas, y organizó las cosas si queríamos, o dejar que nosotros tratamos de hacerlo por nuestra cuenta si preferimos! ella nos preparó con 2 excelentes guías de kayak el río y caminar maderas volcan, se aseguró de que teníamos reservas para nuestro coche en el ferry, y nos trajo un coco casera flan un día, porque sí. no recuerdo cuántas noches que pasamos en linda del porque el tiempo en Ometepe se mueve en su propia manera especial, pero era más de lo que habíamos planeado, y fue increíble.

Linda was kind and patient with us and very good at communicating with our family and communicating expectations. She moves out of the house so that you can move and lives in the apartment next door.

Listing was accurate. Provided copious information on island and helped arrange different excursions.

Mon ami et moi avons adoré notre séjour à la Maison de Linda! Elle était non seulement très accueillants, mais aussi très utile pour planifier ce que nous voulions faire pendant notre séjour. La maison était belle et situé à l'extrémité de la plage de Saint-Domingue, donc c'était très calme et paisible. Nous ne sommes restés pendant deux jours, nous avons décidé de partir en randonnée à San Ramon chutes w / Tony (35 $ pour nous deux) un jour. Nous avons dû payer un gars pour un tour là-bas qui était un peu cher b / c personne d'autre n'était disponible, mais ça valait le coup! Je souhaite que nous parlions plus espagnol que nous puissions converser avec Tony mieux, mais c'était bien. Absolument manger la guapote au restaurant familial à travers la rue, Los Cocos. Moins cher (et le meilleur) l'option des deux nous avons essayé. Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Linda et je recommande cet endroit à tous!

Linda nous a donné un accueil chaleureux inquiets accompagné d'une bière fraîche. Elle sait aussi beaucoup sur la région et peut tout organiser pour vous, du transport et guide touristique inclus sur Ometepe comme dans le reste du Nicaragua. Elle est toujours disponible pour l'aide si vous le souhaitez. La maison était en ordre et propre et joliment décoré. Si vous êtes avec plusieurs familles, la douche est un peu plus délicat parce que se ouvre directement dans la cuisine. La cuisine est grande et tout est là. L'emplacement est bien entre les deux volcans. Les aliments peuvent le faire directement en face de la rue: savoureux et pas cher. Nous avons eu un séjour agréable !!!

Linda war ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber! Sie half uns mit all den Details zu Insel bekommen, und alles, was wir brauchten einmal dort wir waren. Wir feierten auf Kokosnuss und Kräuter aus ihrem Garten, und sie begrüßte uns auch mit kaltem Bier. Wir hatten ein wunderbar entspanntes Wochenende die paar Schritte zum Strand und die lokalen Restaurants zu Fuß. Die Casita ist gut ausgestattet mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Linda was very welcoming and accommodating and the beach casita was lovely! It's in a great location and has beautiful views of both the beach and Linda's well-maintained tropical garden. We had a great time staying on Ometepe and Linda helped us find a number of great activities to occupy our time and see the island. The one piece of advice I'd offer any travelers to Nicaragua is to bring a decent set of ear plugs. The Casita is next to a restaurant and the beach is quite popular and there are birds and dogs that seem to arise right at 5am, it can get really loud with all the windows open to capture the breeze. This was not unique to Linda's casita, we experienced this everywhere we went in Nicaragua.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Linda's Casita. In fact, we stayed longer than we planned. The casita is very nice. We loved being on the beach where we could walk, sit and read and watch the local young people play soccer and baseball. There are several restaurants within walking distance and a couple of small shops to buy food if you want to cook. Linda brought us fruit juice, Gallo pinto and dessert. She was a great hostess, Linda is very much a part of the local community and is willing to help with tours, transportation and plans.

Right on the lake, beautiful sunset views of the volcano. Everyone was so so lovely, welcoming and helpful. This hostel is simple, if you would like to get away from towns and just relax for a couple days this would be the perfect place to do so. Option of private rooms or a 6 bed dorm available. Restaurant also available. Beds were comfortable with fans. Although the treck from Moyogalpa is around 1.5-2 hours on mopeds, with the end 25mins on a horrible dirt/rock. Would recommend though keep in mind only of you are aftet 'getting away'!

Mycket bra! Det sover som ett barn, skakats av kväkande grodor ... Pssst: De Repochatas är läcker! Tack !!

It was my perfect getaway, very peaceful and serene. It is right by the lake with views of both volcanoes. I was there for three nights and the entire family took care of me very well. The breakfast was delicious and every meal they make for you is prepared fresh from scratch. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet retreat.

Ce séjour sur l'île d'ometepe restera un de nos plus beau souvenirs au nicaragua. L'auberge, dans le petit village de merida, offre une vue splendide sur le lac et les volcans. Le coucher de soleil dans le hamac est un moment à ne pas rater. Maria propose plusieurs plats que nous avons goûté et qui sont excellents, de meme que les petits déjeuners copieux et authentiques ! Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit plein de charme et habité par la bonne humeur de toute la famille !

Nestor, Maria och Maria E. var mycket gästvänliga. De var mycket uppmärksam vid alla tidpunkter och behandlade oss som familj och det är vad vi ville ha. Oslagbart pris-kvalitet, hälsosamma och naturliga miljö, lokal mat utmärkt !! Tack Marias för god organisk och lokal mat! Nestor informerat oss om vi behövde och alltid besvaras i tid och timme. Definitivt en rekommenderad och härlig plats. Nestor, Mary E. och Mary var mycket välkomnande. De var verkligen uppmärksam på oss och behandla oss som en de familj! Precis vad vi var väntade. Kvalitet pris formidabel natur och omgivning jordnära, Lokala utmärkt mat !!! Tack för det goda Marias lokal och hälsosam mat. Nestor gav ius all info vi behövde och jag alltid svarade på våra samtal och meddelande mycket snabbt. Utan tvekan en fantastisk och tillråda ställe att bo.

Los choyocos är en ren och bekväm komma undan. Familjen och personalen gå ut om deras sätt att du känner dig bekväm och tillgodose dina behov. Även om det är lite långt från huvudbryggan de kan ordna alla aktiviteter och du kan gå i din egen takt. Frukost ingår och super välsmakande och fyllning. Sammantaget ett bra ställe och en stor familj!

El lugar era bueno y el personal amable. La habitación era cómoda. Muy poco profesional que pidieron más dinero cuando llegué y dije que el sitio Airbnb no me había cargado lo suficiente para dos personas. Esto es a pesar de ser claramente mi reserva para dos personas. No valía la pena el argumento y la animosidad para mí, así que pagan, pero era muy poco profesional.

Very good service, it provided everything we need. The place is very nice

We hadden een geweldige tijd bij Efraim. De plek was erg uniek, in het midden van zijn bananenplantage tussen de locals. Het dorpje is nog erg puur en er is amper een toerist te zien. Bedden waren goed en alles was schoon.

Ons bezoek aan de Bananas huis was uitstekend en beter dan we verwacht hadden. Efraim als een gastheer was er om al onze vragen te beantwoorden en gewerkt om ons de best mogelijke deal. We spraken elke nacht over onze reis en hij gaf altijd goede adviezen wat te zien. Hij had een oprechte interesse in ons en deelde zijn leven met ons. Het huis is niet in de stad, maar is een gemakkelijke fietstocht. U krijgt een Nicaraguaanse ervaring. Het zo rustig en ontspannend. Het huis was zeer schoon, had alle dingen die je nodig hebt om te koken, de bedden waren super comfortabel en de omgeving was erg veilig. De Bananen huis en Efraim samen maakte onze trip magisch. We verbleven 5 nachten en wilden dat we langer konden blijven. Als je hier niet verblijft heb je gemist op een ervaring van een leven tijd.

Efraim était un hôte de duper super !! il était très communicative et sensible dès le début en nous y arriver en toute sécurité et en douceur. même si nous sommes arrivés tard sa famille nous a préparé un bon dîner et aidé prévu le lendemain. Efraim avait des tonnes de connexions et était un excellent guide qui peut vous accueillir avec des visites, des motos, des scooters, des chevaux, des randonnées sur le volcan. Il est un local et possède une connaissance approfondie de son pays, l'histoire et la culture. nous nous sommes sentis comme la famille et beaucoup appris. fourni des plats locaux de voisins, la famille et des amis comme la banane et ananas smoothies, nacatamal, Chicharrón, arroz aguado et Moronga. Bananes maison d'hôtes était propre, tranquille, et un endroit sûr pour rester. nous avons certainement eu l'expérience de nica réelle ici et je le recommande totalement les bananes maison d'hôtes à tout le monde!

Efraim's place is a true Nica experience. Our stay with him was wonderful and very special. He offers a small little house surrounded by plantain trees and tropical plants. Very relaxed and lots of wildlife to enjoy. Also dog Randy and Letitia the pig will come say hello. The whole family helps with this AirBnB experience, the girls cleaned our room and beds and Efraim will bring you his wife's cooking for a small fee every evening and morning. There are bikes for free or rent a motor. Good WiFi. Highly recommended place for a special Nica experience!

We had a wonderful stay the loveliest host! On our arrival we were greeted from the bus stop by Efraim who then shuttled us from Altagarcia center, to the air bnb a short distance down the road. What a beautiful place that turned out to be, in the middle of a plantain field with conception in the back ground and a short stole from the lake. Fortunately Efraim is a tour guide for to local volcano trips and also a wealth of local knowledge. We were quickly able to organise a trip up Maderas for the following day. We were also given the use of a couple of mountain bikes, which were ideal for getting around during our stay. The cabin is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away from the tourist trail and stay with the locals. It was well equip with plenty of utensils for cooking meals, we spent a great deal of time relaxing in the hammocks and drinking local rum. We were also given delicious plantains bananas and papaya fresh from the farm. There is also a Tv with plenty of channels if your missing you home comforts. I would recommend staying here to anyone, and for the price I doubt you will find a better more welcoming accommodation on the island!

Right from the beginning Efraim was an outstanding host! He and his friend were waiting at the bus stop to transport us and our backpacks. He took us to the super mercado to pick up food and beverages for our stay and then we were headed to the bananas house whic wasn't very far. On arrival, the cleanliness of the guest has really stood out. His wife even changed the sheets and tidy up daily. Everything about it was amazing. After we dropped out stuff off he gave us a tour of this amazing property, picked fresh avocado and mango and even brought us fresh mango juice. We were able to purchase enchiladas and nacatamales that were locally made at a minimal price (which were delicious). We enjoyed exploring the island with Efraim's pointers and expertise. If you are looking for an authentic Nicaraguan experience of the island, I recommended staying with Efraim. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING EFRAIM!

We had a wonderful month of relaxation and good times in this little corner of paradise that is Bananas Guest House. From day one, we felt welcome and were treated with kindness and generosity. Anything we needed, he provided, from a bar-b-q to a lift into town, to horseback riding right at our doorstep. Any questions we had about our surroundings, he knew the answer to, and was always there for us no matter the need. The worst part of our stay was having to say goodbye, which was very hard! We can't wait to go back next year!

Oh wow, I really do not have the words to describe how incredible this experience was. The room was clean, comfortable, cool and secluded. The hammock and the rocking chairs were my favorite part and I spent most of my early mornings and evenings lounging. The climate was perfect and breezy - in fact, I was cool more often than I was hot during my stay. Efraim was a fantastic host. He was knowledgeable, friendly and an overall wonderful person. We had great conversations and I loved meeting his wife and daughter. He brought me a bike that I could use, took me food shopping, brought me breakfast once and dinner another time, and took me on a ride on the back of his motorcycle. He really could not have been nicer or more helpful. One of the reasons I picked his place is because Efraim is a tour guide, and that turned out to be a great idea. I highly recommend staying with a tour guide, and with Efraim in particular. My stay in Ometepe was easily one of the best experiences of my life. Do yourself a favor and book this place.

Daniel was the perfect host. All of the information about getting to his place was correct. I arrived earlier than I expected, so he took me on a bicycle tour of the neighborhood, which was great for finding my way around the next two days. The bicycle was also available for me to use during my stay. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. There is no hot water, but it wasn't an issue for me. The water was still warm. No need for a/c. The temperature was perfect at night with the fan. The bed was super comfortable. His mother made excellent meals upon request and she is very knowledgeable about healthy eating. I really enjoyed my time visiting with her. Their two dos and cats were great companions. During my stay and upon my departure, Daniel and his mother, were both very knowledgeable and helpful about getting me to my next destination. I would definitely recommend this location for your stay in Ometepe. It is in between both the Ojo de Aguas and the San Ramon waterfalls. Two things that I would recommend to make your stay most enjoyable are a good pair of earplugs and a blindfold. The sun is up early and so are the roosters and other jungle animals. I look forward to returning to Papaki House.

Casa Papaki es sin duda uno de los mejores sitios en los que hemos estado. La casa es preciosa y tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar y más. Cocina completamente equipada, salón espacioso y cómodo, habitaciones y baños limpios y muy bien decorados. Patio muy agradable con hamacas y sillas donde compartir un rato con el resto de la casa. El lugar es mucho más bonito que lo que se ve en las fotos. Daniel y su madre (Teresa) son los mejores anfitriones que hemos tenido en Airbnb. Por un módico precio Teresa te prepara unos desayunos, comidas y cenas deliciosos (sinceramente no merece la pena ir a ningún restaurante estando ella) y te cuidará como si fuera tu propia madre. Nos hicieron sentir como parte de la familia, incluso compartimos cumpleaños y salidas de noche con ellos. La casa se encuentra a 2 mins andando del alquiler de kayacs para ir al río Istian (muy recomendable) y al lado del comienzo del camino para subir al volcán Maderas. Daniel se ocupará de todo lo que necesites: alquiler de bicicletas, caballos, guías turísticos y recomendaciones. No podríamos haber tenido más suerte con este lugar. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Muchas gracias por todo!!! :D

Toller Ort auf Omotepe zu bleiben. Daniel und Teresa fühlen Sie sich willkommen und zu Hause. Die Unterkunft ist groß, sauber und komfortabel - tolles Bett. Das Haus liegt in einer ländlichen Gegend, die ruhig und hat viele natürliche Schönheit und zwei schöne / freundliche Hunde. Perfekt für Familien und andere wollen mit Einheimischen in einer anderen Einstellung zu bleiben. Das Essen war fantastisch und sehr zu empfehlen, vor allem nach der langen Wanderung auf den Vulkan. Daniel kann auch helfen, die Dinge und empfehlen zu tun. Ich würde nicht zögern, wieder hier zu bleiben. Sie könnten hier für eine lange time.

We hadden echt een geweldige tijd verblijf in Papaki huis met Daniel en zijn ouders! Na een periode van intensief reizen was dit de beste plek om te verblijven voor slechts om te ontspannen, genieten van de prachtige omgeving en knuffelen met de honden. Het ligt ver van de turistarea. De kamer is geweldig, een groot bed en een stapelbed, hoge ceeling en lichte kleuren. De badkamer is voorzien van een douche, ook geweldig met handdoeken inbegrepen. Theresa, Daniels moeder, is prachtig. Onze Spaanse is niet zo goed en ze, en Daniel, was erg geduldig en behulpzaam bij ons, dus de Spaanse een stuk verbeterd na een verblijf hier. Theresa bereid vers sap voor ons elke ochtend en haar keuken is geweldig. Samen met haar en Daniel, we maakten ons eigen mozzarella en had een pizzanight! En op een dag maakte ze traditionele dessert voor ons om te proeven, heerlijk! We hebben veel van onze ene maaltijden en de keuken is volledig uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Daniel was een geweldige gastheer. Hij hielp ons met het vervoer op het eiland, gaf ons goede informatie over waar te gaan / eten en ging zelfs met ons op voor een wandeling naar de watervallen! We hielden van alles over deze plek, zoveel dat we er uiteindelijk vijf nachten! Oh en de honden, Tango en Maya zijn zo leuk en lief. Als we op een dag terug te gaan naar Isla de Ometepe, is dit de plek waar we zouden verblijven. Wij aanbevelen anderen om hier te verblijven !!

A lovely stay! Quiet and peaceful. Great for animal lovers.

A really nice and quiet place surrounded by fruit plantations. It's nice to sit in the front yard having conversations with Daniel, his mother or his friends occasionally coming over and if you have any questions regarding the places around or any activity everybody is well informed and eager to help you. The food you can have with them is fresh prepared and tastes really good.

Casa de Papaki es un gran lugar para alojarse. Me sentí como en casa durante mi viaje. Daniel es muy acogedor y su madre es un ángel. No cambiaría nada

Daniel es una persona muy amable y nos ayudó a lo largo de nuestra estancia en la isla. También apreciamos sus padres que son muy amables.

Wonderful place to stay. It was secluded enough but right on the main road to take buses. The hosts were so sweet and helped me plan my hike and offered amazing food for very cheap and a small bar. I was happy to be able to get there and leave by public bus. The value for this place cannot be beat! It made my time on the island even better than expected.

The room and facilities were very nice for the price. Simple room and clean bathroom. The outdoor hammocks were also nice to relax on. In the reviews, someone said the breakfast was included, which it is not. It costs $4 dollars. We were also told that lunch and dinner were $7 but then when we almost ordered one it changed to $8. We were confused about this and did not end up eating there at all, as we found the meal prices to be too expensive. Wifi is also $1/day, which was fine but was not mentioned on the page. We didn't interact with the family much since Lizzeth was gone and we didn't eat there, but it felt private and comfortable. Recommended for anyone who plans on renting a scooter, ATV, or car, otherwise public transportation is sporadic and there are no taxis. We ended up walking a lot, which was nice, and checking out Altagracia, where we didn't see any tourists.

Deze plaats was echt heel leuk voor een paar dagen op het eiland. Lizzeth en Mark zijn erg vriendelijk net als de rest van de familie. We aten we een heleboel verschillende gerechten en alles was lekker, gekookt door de moeder van Lizzeth. We hadden bijvoorbeeld Gallo pinto of pannenkoeken voor het ontbijt (inbegrepen), zo goed! De kamer is eenvoudig, maar erg mooi en het is niet te warm dankzij de ventilator. We zeker recommande deze plek als u wilt de nicaraguayen cultuur te ontdekken en ook om dit prachtige eiland te ontdekken!

Mark was an excellent host and helped us make the most of our time on Ometepe. He organized a guide for us to hike up La Concepcion volcano and connected us with someone who rented us a scooter. We had planned to stay at his home for three nights and we ended up staying an extra night! The home and rooms are well maintained and clean. There is a bar available every night, and Lizzeth's mother cooks wonderful meals. This is an ideal place for travellers who want to explore Ometepe.

Dit is een geweldige plek om te verblijven! Mark en Lizzeth zijn supervriendelijk en vriendelijk. We verbleven 2 nachten en een deel van ons Ze maakten hun familie. Lekker eten, alles is schoon. Rustig 's nachts. Zeer aan te bevelen! Boeken. Deze plaats is heel bijzonder! Mark en Lizzeth zijn supersympaticos en vrolijk. We aftrekken van twee nachten en opgenomen in de familie. Het eten is zeer rijk. De kamer was erg schoon. Geen lawaai 's nachts. Zeer aan te bevelen! Bedankt voor alles Mark en Lizzeth!

We had a great time staying with Lizzeth, Mark and their family. Their place is a great retreat from the main tourist areas yet close enough to Altagracia that you aren't isolated. They rent bicycles and will soon be renting a scooter which makes getting around easy. The bus also stops right outside which is perfect for the budget traveler. Their hospitality allowed us to really experience local life and learn about growing up on Ometepe. Both Lizzeth and Mark speak perfect English, Dutch, Spanish & German so hanging out with them is really easy and fun. The family style dinners and breakfasts were great! They also went out of their way to ensure we had a nice time and were taken care of at all times. When we let them know about our dietary needs they ensured we still had great meals. I highly recommend this place if you are a chill traveler who doesn't mind simple living (hanging with cute dogs and not so cute spiders) and who enjoys experiencing more than just other tourists when you pass through Nicaragua. I'm really glad we stayed here :)

A lovely B&B in a slightly secluded location, but walking distance from the main road with restaurants. Very nice hosts and staff, and luxury interior. Be aware that there are two loud but friendly dogs, and you will see some interesting insects due to the location. Overall a great experience. :)

What a VIEW!!! Like other travellers have written, you almost feel like staying on the balcony all day. However, Ometepe is a beautiful island with many interesting activities on offer. Jonathan and Roslyn are great hosts and are always willing to help organize activities and transportation. As a woman travelling alone, I always felt super safe. I was afraid of renting a scooter (with good reason as I later saw someone wipe out), but there are many REALLY good restaurants within reasonable walking distance. Without your own wheels taxi expenses can add up, but the location is totally worth it.

Très belle maison perdue dans la nature. Les propriétaires ont été très utiles pour organiser des excursions. Parfait pour famylies

Very nice stay there. The room is big, very good litter and everything is so clean. Good breakfast served under our own porch. Amazing view of the volcano. Close to very good restaurants ! Try El Bamboo, the churrasco is so good, and staff very nice ! Roslyn and Jonathan are too :) Totally recommended and would like to stay there longer. Thanks ! PS: when you are on the rocky road, don't miss the sign "4 elements" on your right !!

Das Zimmer ist sehr sauber und sehr schön zu einem hohen Standard. Die Besitzer sind verfügbar und die Rezeption war sehr angenehm. Für den Zugriff kann es ein wenig kompliziert für sich allein sein. Ein Remake, hätte ich direkt kontaktiert Ros, dass wir einen Rücktransport organisieren. Die ptit dej ist im Preis inbegriffen und Service Damen sind sehr schön und gut ausgestattete Küche! Nicht zu weit von den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel mit dem Roller. Ein schöner Ort zum empfehlen!

Roslyn et Jonathan sont des hôtes merveilleux qui est assuré que nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin! Leur place est dans un bel endroit et si nous ne disposions pas d'une île à explorer, je suis sûr que nous aurions été très heureux simplement se détendre sur la terrasse et regarder la vue en constante évolution du volcan et le lac. Tout était encore mieux que prévu! Le petit déjeuner chaque matin était délicieux et tout le monde était si gentil et serviable. Si on retourne à cette partie du monde, nous voulons certainement rester ici encore!

Roslyn is a very good-natured host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. The house is located in a quiet place with a gorgeous scenic view of the volcano. Breakfast was made every morning, which was more than pleasant. This place was also helpful on outdoor activities.

Belle mais certainement toujours en cours. Au calme, très calme, super petit déjeuner. Jonothan et Rosyln étaient tous deux extrêmement utiles

Fantastic hosts, prettier setting than in the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, great local experience and very welcoming. Wifi is spotty but we didn't mind. Would highly recommend renting scooters or a motorcycle for a multi-Day rental while you're there so you can get around easily. Great experience!

This family makes you feel very welcome and Araselli cookes delicious meals. The area is very rural and internet is very slow. You probably want to hire a motorbike to get around. I would like to be there again if I have holidays. If you're racing the FyA it's a bit inconvenient. The room is good though.

Het was geweldig! Als u wilt verblijven in een rustige omgeving uit de buurt van andere toeristen ans iets over Nicaraguaanse leven te leren moet dit uw keuze.

Although we never met Christian, the ladies who welcomed us to the airbnb were kind and helpful. They cooked us dinner and arranged a scooter rental (which was super fun and I recommend!). The room is bare-bones but totally comfortable, with a few fans that we found very welcome in the heat. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for something inexpensive and rural.

Questo era un ottimo posto dove stare, i padroni di casa erano molto cordiale e accomodante. Proprio accanto al lago e una corsa in autobus dalla città questa casa è un ottimo posto dove stare se avete intenzione di Ometepe.

This was an amazing place to stay in Ometepe! It's quiet and beautiful, and the host is extremely accomodating. I cannot recommend this stay more.

Ik verbleef hier met drie vrienden tijdens onze twee-daagse reis naar Ometepe. We waren op zoek naar ergens betaalbaar en comfortabel, dat is precies wat we hebben gekregen! Het huis is gelegen in een woonwijk, direct naast het meer. We werden begroet door Christian's familieleden, die vriendelijk en behulpzaam waren. De kamer was uitgerust met twee grote bedden en een kleinere, met een grote en schone badkamer. We aten de maaltijden buiten en waren in staat om te genieten van de omgeving om ons heen. De keuken is volledig uitgerust, wat ons toeliet om een aantal heerlijke huisgemaakte maaltijden te koken. Onze gastheren ook bood ons een aantal Tonas voor de aankoop, die we graag gebruik hebben gemaakt. We waren geïnteresseerd in wandelen Concepción, en onze gastheer vriendelijk verzocht regelde de logistiek van het inhuren van een gids en ons te helpen met transport. We waren blij om na een lange dag wandelen terug te komen op zo'n comfortabele ruimte! Het enige nadeel van deze plek is dat het niet centraal gelegen is en je moet betalen voor een taxi aan te komen (ik niet aanbevelen het nemen van de lokale bus, tenzij je oke het lopen van een paar kilometer naar het huis van de hoofdweg zijn). Een taxi vanaf Moyogalpa was ongeveer C $ 200 voor ons allemaal.

Cet endroit était super, la nourriture était très riche, et l'atmosphère était parfaitement calme! Il était un peu difficile à trouver car il est à environ 3 kilomètres de l'autoroute, mais ils ont tous vous aider à trouver la maison.

Mon séjour à Ometepe dans la casita de Cindi à été bien au-delà de mes espérances. L'île est magnifique, les gens souriants et gentils, l'eau rafraîchissante et la maison propre et pratique. Il n'en reste pas moins que c'est l'extrême disponibilité et efficacité dont a fait preuve Cindi qui ont rendu ce séjour extraordinaire . Même au moment où nous nous sommes embarrés dehors, le dimanche de Pâques, à 8h am, elle a réussi à trouver quelqu'un en 15 minutes pour venir nous ouvrir! Je recommande grandement cette location ! J'y retournerais sans hésiter.

The house was very nice in a beautiful and quiet area. We stayed for three nights, two couples, and just to let you know it's not very private inside the house. Cindi was very nice, always available and helpful!

Nous avons adoré le village de Mérida. Nous étions une famille de 5 avec de jeunes enfants. Nous y avons passé un mois. Nous avons tissé des liens avec quelques résidents. La maison est fonctionnelle et sécuritaire (barreaux, serrures, cadenas). La connexion internet est correcte. Il est bon de savoir que la maison est située à distance de marche de plusieurs restaurants et pulpérias (dépanneurs). Nous avons adorées le Buena vista et le Margarita. Les autobus se font rares. Prévoyez vos déplacements. Nous n'avions ni moto, ni auto et nous nous en sommes bien sortis. Notez que la maison est entourée de végétation. La faune et la flore sont abondantes. Nous avons tuer pas mal de scorpions et grosses araignées durant notre séjour. Cindi a fait traiter la maison aux insecticides durant notre séjour. Cindi a répondu rapidement à nos demandes tout en demeurant très discrète.

Cindi's casita had an amazing view of the lake nicaragua and we watched the spectacular sunset every night. The local staff Yossell and Hamitom were very nice and welcoming. They came right away when there's a problem in the house. The bed was comfortable and for two people, the house was spacious. There was no AC but the breeze from the lake kept us cool. The kitchen was spacious but had bare minimum equipments. The knifes were unusably dull and all the pans were pilling. The bathroom shower and sink had almost no water pressure, we ended up taking the bath with a bucket outside for the entire month. The road in Merida are unpaved and rocky with a few steep hills, it'll be a challenge to bike around. There are many small grocery shops which sells condiments and toilet papers..etc but it was hard to find much produce or dairy product. The power went out almost every day for a few hours. The wifi didn't work when the power's out, and didn't work well on somedays even with power. I think this casita is a great place for backpackers for a short stay who are going to be eating out most of the time, but it'll be a quite an adjustment for someone who's staying longer and actually live here for a few weeks. The nature here makes up for the hardship though: waking up with all kinds of birds chirping, monkeys howling, seeing neighbors' chickens, cows and horses and pigs roaming around the backyard. All in all, I had a great time in Ometepe.

Cindi was a N over the top host, arranging ferris,food, guides, massage...with all the most amazing people. You could ask for more with her simple casita over looking the lake and a amazing view of the valcano! Will definitely be back. Thanks Cindi

Maison propre et spacieuse. Cuisine bien aménagée. Excellents services de l'équipe de Cindi sur le terrain. La disponibilité de 2 bicyclettes nous semblait un avantage certain or, la condition des routes en cet endroit reculé rendait difficile les randonnées à bicyclette. Terrain très privé, lieu tranquille et paisible et de magnifiques couchers du soleil vous y attendent. Pour s'y rendre, suivez le conseil de Cindi et faites des arrangements avec Adolfo.

Den lilla casita av Cindi är stor! Beläget vid sjön, ger det en mycket avkopplande plats. Restauranger är närliggande och Cindi försett oss med massor av information om aktiviteter i närheten. Ett tips, om du gillar att simma i sjön, är det enklaste tillgång på restaurang cabillatas del mar (vid casita är också möjligt men mindre bekväm)

Beautiful place! Perfect to chill out.

Las habitaciones muy cómodas y limpias. El área común grande y espaciosa. Las personas que están a cargo de las instalaciones son muy amables y gentiles. El desayuno muy rico. Está justo al lado del puerto de San José del Sur por lo que es muy conveniente si el viajero puede ajustarse a los limitados viajes del ferry. Sin duda regresaría.

Basic room but great value for money

Lindas hotel is very near where the ferry arrives, which was great. The room was very clean and the beach is a few steps away. There are hammocks to chill in the entrance. The breakfast is a typical one, very deliscious. Although we didn't know we had breakfast included, so a good surprise there. We would have loved to chat a bit more with linda, she seemed very busy so we missed that. All in all a relaxing stay and worth the money.

Le personnel était incroyable! Très confortable et relaxant emplacement. Je voudrais jamais quitté! Merveilleux petit déjeuner, va certainement revenir !!!

Alles was prima in dit hostel! Sweet Shark is naast de veerboot! Gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van de mensen maakt dit hostel een perfecte plek om te rusten! Er zijn bedrijven en op de markt naast de deur en er is een goed uitzicht op het meer! Hartelijk dank voor het ontbijt ook erg goed! Het is een erg leuke plek om te verblijven: ontbijt, douche zijn echt leuk! De wifi werkt echt goed! De WHO paar verwelkomen ons zijn erg aardig en vriendelijk mensen, waardoor je het gevoel alsof je thuis bent Thanks a lot!

Very happy with our stay at Linda's place. Location is perfect to arrive and leave the island, right at the port of San Jose del Sur. However her family did not speak english, they were very friendly and happy to help us! Other reviews mention there is no WiFi, but we had a fast and reliable connection. Good value for your money, we would stay there again!

Great hosts - wonderful and helpful people who have found a local guide to bring us to volcanoes, offered a motorbike, etc. Place itself is super clean, better than expected wifi, new A/C. Location is good once you have a motorcycle/car but else there is not much to do/eat/see in the town itself (compared to Moyogalpa). But once you have that figured out it is a short ride to the volcanoes, waterfall, lakes etc.

The staff that took care of me where excellent. They made me feel right at home and made my stay go from great to excellent. The room was spotless and the breakfast was fantastic. I would highly recommend staying at Linda's place.

This place was amazing. We had a lot of fun. Missy was super helpful. The breakfast was very good. We loved the little visit of the farm. We were planning to do the Maderas Hike and this place was a great choice for it. Don't be scared of spiders! And if you are, the jungle might not be the place for you. We had a lot of fun going for a little hunt before bed. :)

Amazing place! It is so beautiful here. The island of Omatepe is incredibly safe and friendly. The guest house is tucked away in the jungle, and is truly an experience. The view of Concepcion is great. The staff is very helpful. They helped us many times with making ferry reservations, recommending things to do, and other things. A couple things to be aware of: the driveway up to the house requires a 4WD car or motorcycles to make it all the way up (you can leave a car at the bottom and walk up though). The other thing is that this house is legitimately in the jungle, so you're probably going to run into some creatures on your way up the driveway (especially at night). They're harmless, but it probably isn't a great place to stay if you're uncomfortable with nature.

Herrliche Aussicht, wie beschrieben. Die Spinnen sind sehr real. Persönlich ehrte die Nacht mit so fantastischen Kreaturen zu verbringen, aber arachnophobes, Sie haben hier schon ein paar Mal in den Bewertungen gewarnt. :) Melissa und Erwing war super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Besichtigung der Farm war toll und das Frühstück war sehr lecker.

Get ready for me to rave!!!! This place was my dream come true (although it may not be yours if you do not appreciate the humor provided by having tarantulas and large insects in your room). Melissa and Erwing were fantastic hosts and the cook (whose name I do not recall) was so friendly and accommodating. And the dogs... I loved the dogs!! The place is absolutely as pictured and your experience will be as exactly described. You want for nothing as Melissa and Erwing met your needs before you even had considered what your needs were! Ometepe is amazing and is now my favorite area in Nicaragua. If I have the opportunity to return, I will claim the upper half of the Jungle House again! The view of the volcano and sunset were stunning from the vantage point of the deck's hammock chairs, and utter relaxation ensued. Thank you!!!!

El espacio era precioso, con una vista increíble. El personal era muy amable y fue capaz de ayudar a reservar taxis y alimentos. En general, tuvimos una gran experiencia aquí.

Nous avons eu un très bon moment dans la maison Jungle. Tout le monde était si belle et allait bien sortir de leur façon de nous aider. La maison est si belle, très privé et luxueux. Les chiens sur la propriété sont tellement magnifique. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux. Nous ne pouvons pas dire assez de notre expérience.

My brother and I stayed at the Jungle House for two nights. It was amazing! As the name suggests, the casa is in the jungle, so be prepared for jungle life! It isn't out of the ordinary for tarantulas and other friendly critters to say hi. Melissa and Erwin were fantastic hosts. Super friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely be back on my next Nicaraguan adventure!

Melissa était absolument fantastique pendant notre séjour. Elle a assuré notre confort et a répondu à toutes les questions que nous avions. Elle était si bien informé et chaleureux et est vraiment un atout dans les chambres d'hôtes.

estancia maravillosa aquí. vista irreal y belleza. Nos encantó cada minuto de nuestra estancia. Sin duda, volvería.

Awesome place , highly recommend , amazing views , excellent food , really nice people , u will not regret.

Ein schöner Ort mit ausgezeichnetem Essen und nettem Personal. Auf jeden Fall lohnt sich die tril

Die Gastgeber storniert die Reservierung 29 Tage vor Anreise. Dies ist eine automatische Buchung.

We had an incredible stay at Totoco! The views from the casa are breathtaking, and the house itself is lovely (as explained in the listing you are off-grid in the jungle, but we had no issues with the compost toilet or the solar power, and no problem dealing with the various bugs). The staff went above and beyond to recommend and help book activities and taxis on the island. When we weren't out exploring we were relaxing in our private rooftop pool, in the hammock or at the main lodge bar. Service at the bar and restaurant can be slow, but that's island life and we were in no rush. Also, the walk up to Totoco from Balgue is long and steep, so we relied on taxis which add up quickly, but it was more than worth it for this little slice of paradise! Meals are also on the pricier side compared to restaurants in the local town, but the food was delicious and all used fresh local ingredients, and you have the convenience of not taking a taxi. I would happily recommend this casa to friend, and would love to return!

Amazing place, rent a motorcycle to get around.

Beautiful place with a great view. Rooms were nice, clean and the site itself was beautiful. Very relaxing atmosphere, especially after a long hike. The staff were great and the owners we're very nice/accommodating. One of the highlights during our trip to Nicaragua!

If you're thinking of booking a stay here, do yourself a favor: Book it. The pool is absolutely magical, with a great view of the the sunset. The rooms are spacious, clean and beautiful, and the people are beyond lovely.

Private room is a good deal but note that A/C is 9$ extra when you arrive

Great location, delicious breakfast included (and there's choices! Not just the usual Gallo pinto con huevos). We tried the pancakes and they were the best ones we had in Nicaragua! Staff was friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend staying here! Gracías por todo!

El hotel es muy céntrico, el ambiente es muy agradable y amable. Julio era muy servicial y era capaz de darnos consejos sobre todas las cosas. Las habitaciones están limpias, el resto del hotel también. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y nos gusta usar la cocina y zona común. La ciudad es muy clara, en las inmediaciones (2 minutos a pie) que tiene todas las tiendas que necesitas: alimentos, ropa, hogar, calzado, electrónica, etc.

The space was exactly as described and the a/c was amazing

.

Wonderful house, breathtaking views & a garden full of wild life. Pablo is extremely helpful and the house is a great alternative for groups wanting a bit of luxury for a low price!!

This is great place if you're looking for a rural experience. Everything is basic but ok, although the shower wasn't working for two days. We booked four nights and stayed two because it was quite far from the main activities on the island. Nonetheless we enjoyed the hospitality and great food and are happy we've experienced the local lifestyle.

Finca Don Mincho is the creme de la creme of La Flor...and honestly my favorite place in Nicaragua. JC and I have been in contact ever since I booked our stay in May because I had so many questions, and let me tell you, JC was not shy with providing me the answers. With that alone, I became so excited to stay here because I had such great vibes from him since the first exchange of messages. Months later, our trip to Finca Don Mincho finally arrived and we had learned JC would not be joining us because of some complications, and that we would be left in the hands of his wonderful wife Lisseth. Words cannot describe how sweet she is! Jabril and I knew little Spanish, and Lisseth knew little English, but we were able to get our messages across just fine! Lisseth cooks a mean home cooked meal (probably the only thing that she can ever be mean with :P) for such a great price. My boyfriend is SO SO SOOO picky with how food is seasoned and cooked, and he absolutely LOVED her meals. That should say a lot! For people who have never experienced rustic farm life before, this was such a great first experience. The sound of the rain that came and went, the numerous animals as well as the sights and smells were new and yet never daunting. Our room was so cute and had everything we needed, and Lisseth was always ready and available to us if we had questions. JC made sure to keep in touch with us despite not being physically present, which I appreciate so much. Just goes to show how great all around this place is :) he set us up on a trip up Volcano Concepcion with his nephews, who also spoke just enough English for my boyfriend and I to have a blast. Even then, we have a great time playing charades trying to figure out each others sentences. Also forgot to mention Bovita & Tampa (2 of the 6 dogs they own) joined us on our trek up the volcano as well! On our last day we were able to join Lisseth to swim en la playa close to their farm, this time joined by 5 of the 6 sweet doggies they own. This is such a long review but I just cannot put into words how highly my boyfriend and I think of this place. This was such a genuine experience and something I will never forget. Thank you JC, Lisseth, Ian, Lester, and the whole family for everything. My first Nicaragua trip will surely not be my last...all thanks to you.

We had a wonderful stay at Finca Don Mincho! It is a phenomenal, traditional farm and gave us the most authentic experience we had during our trip to Nicaragua. Juan and the whole family were more than accommodating and the meals were insanely good (especially all the local fruits and juices). Highly recommended for people looking to get off the beaten path and disconnect for little while.

We are really thankful for this special experience! It was amazing and we felt really welcome, almost like a family member! We enjoyed the typical nicaraguan food and the fresh fruits from their plantage. John spent a lot of time with us and we got known the culture of Nicaragua a bit better, thanks for that! Also, we got a great massage from the sister of Johns wife, you should not miss it! It's a kind of easy to get to the house, you get the bus from Moyogalpa to La Flor and than it's a 20 minutes walk from there. Greetings Maria (Karin) and Katharina

Awesome experience with really good, inspiring people in a great place totally surrounded by untouched nature fruit trees and animals (except moscitos, almost none) and on top of it delicious food and always a helping hand if you want it! If youre looking for a place off the crowded touristical places where you can get to know life of & by locals youre totally right!

JC and lisseth's place was wonderful, very local and minimalist stay. We only stayed two nights and ate most of our meals there. It was so plentiful - Waldo used to be a chef! The bed was clean and comfortable, outdoor showers and an outhouse. We went out for swims in the nearby lake both evenings and three of the dogs came out with us. It was so serene and quiet. JC organized a Concepcion hike for us, taking a local entrance instead of the touristy one near Moyogalpa. We went at a good pace and made reasonable stops; they also fed us well on the hike. JC was a timely and thorough communicator throughout our booking, and he and his family were gracious hosts in our short stay. Would thoroughly recommend this home to anyone willing to live a little more plainly.

Finco Don Mincho was a fabulous experience! If you're looking to temporarily live like the Ometepe Nicas, this is the spot. We were greeted with an amazing dinner and fresh juice upon arrival and had our own little hut with all of the necessities. The property had an outdoor shower that was so refreshing and surrounded by fruit trees, there is an outhouse with a wonderful view, and a nice area to relax in hammocks and eat the fresh fruit picked from trees on the property. This is a true Ometepe Finca getaway. JC and Lisseth are some of the most kind and giving people we've ever met. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed chatting with them in the mornings over an amazing breakfast & juice (which is included!) I would recommend renting scooters or motorcycles from Bryan in Moyogalpa to get around the island. (Some businesses aren't trustworthy but we had a great experience with Bryan). The farm is located about 6km from Moyogalpa down a pretty rough conditioned road but after some scooter practice we had it down. JC even met us at the ferry dock when we first arrived on the island and we followed him to the farm so there was no confusion. WiFi is unpredictable, electrical may go out for a short amount of time, and running water comes and goes but these things made the entire experience that much more authentic. These are the things the locals deal with daily so put your phones away, lay in a hammock, and gaze up at the amazing stars on this unbelievably memorable farm.

We have a very nice and authentic experience. We loved to share some time with the family and as we expected is not touristic place. We really like our stay even if that was short!

This place was amazing. The private room was large and accommodating for many traveler. You are within walking distance of the beach and the most amazing restaurant at the Hacienda Mérida. Perfect getaway. Esther, Alvaro, and the staff showed my friends and I the beautiful culture and gave us a taste of the local Ometepe food.

I would highly recommend visiting Hacienda Merida!! We had a fabulous time! My boyfriend definitely had trouble without air conditioning in April (the hottest month to go to Nicaragua). If you are adventurous and love going off the beaten path, I definitely recommend it. The room is VERY large with a king size bed- there is a 3 piece ensuite bathroom. This room is the top floor of the owners home. They are a lovely couple with two children!
