A charming collection of cabins right on a Lake Nicaragua (Cocibolca) fresh water beach, on the island of Ometepe, with a lounging area right on the sand. A gently slopping sand bottom makes entry into the lake easy. The staff is most friendly and attentive. Although most of the staff speak limited English, a fluent English speaker is available in...

We live in Nicaragua and decided to take an overnight trip to Ometepe Island with some friends who were visiting. We had a two year old, a four year old, an eleven year old and a thirteen year old with us. This place was great for what we needed. There are a few different price range options for you to... More

Go to Villa Paraiso for great food, but not to stay at the hotel. It's tilapia is some of the best I have had anywhere. The grilled steak and chicken are also superb. Our kids loved playing in the volcanic sand on the beach. But if you are staying anywhere on Playa Santa Domingo, the bugs are beyond horrendous. Having... More

Once you get off the ferry on Isle Ometepe it is about a 45 min drive to the hotel. We had the hotel pick us up but I believe there are also shuttles/taxi's as an option. The hotel is on San Domingo Beach. Each room is a separate building and our building was air conditioned which is a very import.... More

The reception was slow and unwelcoming. We initially were placed in a villa that was infested with ants and insects. When we pointed this out to reception they almost seemed annoyed that we were unhappy and didn't understand why we wanted to move. Our second room was tired, but had less insects. The food at the restaurant was also disappointing... More

Our large group stayed in 3 cabins and we highly recommend the quietness and the breeze. The best cabin we recommend is #1 and #2 they have a breathtaking view of the ocean. Rooms were clean with hammocks outside of them. As far as the restaurant the service was excellent. Except for the a woman which I think was in... More

I stayed here for 4 days in January. On arriving at reception the woman there basically told me off for arriving at that time because the people in my room wanted to stay an extra night and now they had to move their luggage. (Not sure why this was my fault but it appeared that it was). She told me... More

I'll start with the positives - my room was clean and spacious with a lovely hot shower; although others travelling in my group had cold showers. There was a nice patio area in front of the room with a table, chairs and hammock. The negatives - The place is supposed to have a beach but it had been washed away... More

This was our third trip to the Island of Ometepe and the one we´ve enjoyed the most. Hotel Villa Paraiso played an important part in making it a very enjoyable 4 day vacation. It´s situated at the perfect location on the island. Ometepe Island is probably one of the best kept secrets in the world! The volcanoes are awesome, the... More
