Lovely spot on Santo Domingo Beach. Gardens well tended. Our cabin was rather spartan but very clean. And the water in the shower was REALLY HOT. The staff was pleasant and generally helpful although a shuttle van that was supposed to pick us up after a volcano hike was an hour late. Although the food was rather expensive, the fresh... More

We planned a December trip to Ometepe to tour the island and see some remote natural beauty. It was our 1st trip to Central America and didn’t know what to expect – there were a variety of experiences reported on several travel sites. We were pleasantly surprised that the actual hotel was as good as the website site – it’s... More

You know this kind of place - they have been "the" place to be for so long that they have lost a bit of perspective. The staff are not unfriendly, nor are they friendly. The rooms aren't bad, but they just aren't that good. The restaurant is decent, but it is priced like something special (we differ on this from... More

I was underwhelmed by this hotel despite the fact that, by most accounts, it represents the best Ometepe has to offer. Rooms in the hotel part of the complex were small and dark. I don’t mind rustic but I do mind a $30/night (pricey compared to other places I’ve stayed in Nicaragua) room with a bathroom full of bugs. Literally... More

Isla Omtepe is a special place and we were pleasantly surprised by this lovely place. The staff appreciated that tried to use some spanish, really great food any time of day including vegatarian, great prices, private cabanas, your own hammock, views of the lake. The patio by lake which was a great place to hang out after the bar closed.... More

The french doors that open out onto the lake say it all! The first thing I did when I check in was throw open the doors and let in the warm breeze from the lake--quite lovely. I spent some time on the hammock on my front patio as well. The cabana was well appointed with a large shower, separate toilet,... More

We stayed at Villa paraiso for 3 nights. The cabanas were very charming and clean. The views and grounds were excellent. Unfortuanately, the food and the service (wait staff and front desk/office staff) were very poor. The staff was unfriendly and not helpful at all - they acted like they were being "put-out" with the simplest most routine requests. We... More

I am so glad I chose not to stay in one of the two "Towns" on the island. Villa Paraiso is on Playa Santo Domingo which is a nice beach with a great view of the volcano. The service is a bit poor -- the ladies at the front desk are somewhat courteous but for the most part act like... More

Beautiful quiet location, AC, jot water in some cabins, super clean compared to other places in Nicaragua, close to waterfall hike and ojo de agua. Rent bikes from Roberto across the street next to the tienda. Walk down the lake to a little bar on the left with drink specials and delicious meals. Paraisos food was delicious, but slightly overpriced... More
