The rooms are great: amazing views, good beds, at least in the cabins. The service was not great. There are many waiters seating all the time and not very helpful. Food was pricey. The owner wanted to charge us $5 the ride to the ferry (4 minutes away), it turned out the ferry was not even coming on that day.... More

My boyfriend and I spent a couple of nights here on a 3 month trip. Overall, it was a pleasant place, and a good base to explore for a couple of days, but wasn't quite as good as the other places we visited on the island. We had a cheaper room a little back from the lake, but still had... More

We stated two nights with an Intrepid tour. We loved the room we were in. It was close to the lakeshore and kept cool with breezes off the water. The staff were attentive and helpful. The restaurant had a somewhat limited menu but the food was good and the prices reasonable. We would definitely return. More

We stayed in a lake front cabin. We didn't have the AC which was needed because the fan in the room wasn't working properly, going on full speed but almost zero air flow. The AC was seriously expensive. The view from the cabin was great, however, I liked the view on the other side of the island better. Also the... More

This was our first trip to Ometepe and after agonizing about where to stay we chose this hotel based on its location, reviews and their web site. We were not disappointed! LOCATION This hotel is located on the southern shore of Ometepe. It is more shielded against the occasional strong wind gusts that occur early in the year. We took... More

If you're looking for awful customer service, dirty/damp rooms and terrible value for money this is the place for you! The awful customer service started before we even arrived when we gave up waiting for them to answer their online booking enquiry and spent 3 days waiting for them to answer the phone. We eventually made our reservation for 3... More

It is important to realise that this hotel is on an island in the middle of a lake in a Developing Nation. It is not a golf resort in Hawaii. This review is based on that fact. We came for 2 days and stayed for 10. We are well travelled globally as independent travellers and there are very few places... More

We spent 3 nights here in January 2012 and had a very good experience. The staff and owner helped us a ton with planning our stay (I did speak to them in Spanish though), the room had a private bathroom and was clean. We paid $20/night for 2 people and were very satisfied - the place is quiet at night... More

We loved our time here. We paid $30US for a private room that was clean and really quiet. We got such good sleep at this place compared to a lot of other places in Central America. It's right on the water and it's really just gorgeous. The restaurant is pretty good but my only complaint is that the menu is... More

We spend 4 nights in Fince Venezia on Ometepe Island and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel has a very relaxed easy-going atmosphere, and after 2 days there we basically felt very much at home, knowing all the waiters in the restaurant, chatting daily with the manager (great guy, Hannibal) etc. The bungalows/cabins are basic but clean and very comfortable....
