El Güis hostel, hotel in Mérida

Featuring mountain views, El Güis hostel provides accommodation with patio, around 12 km from Maderas Volcano. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking.

A very cute family hotel where you feel at home. You can use the kitchen, watch your clothes and the family is extremely nice. They help me for everything: bus, boat schedule, scooter rent …facilities are simple but all you need and the location is great to move through the islands (but you need a scooter :) ) . You have a nice coffee 5min walk (cafe campestre). I really recommend it!

Very cute, calm place, You can also rent scooters from them and its within walking distance to a very good restaurant called Cafe Campestre. Really recommend this place if you stay on Ometepe. (They even have a bunny as a pet that runs around freely and is very friendly. which was so cute!)

Lazy Crab Hostel, hotel in Mérida

Set in Balgue, Lazy Crab Hostel has a garden and a terrace. The property is located 1.5 km from Maderas Volcano.

This place is a one of a kind gem in Ometepe. The food is amazing, the location is perfect (the lake is at the end of the lane if you want a quick dip) and it’s conveniently next to both shops and restaurants. The beautiful art that is characteristic of Lazy Crab is incredible, it made the vibe of the hostel relaxing and it was offset by the fireflies that are visible from the terrace in the evening. The owner was helpful, caring and was happy to share tips for the best places to visit on the Island. I will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed our stay here. The host Jose is a really friendly and welcoming guy, he helped us organise a scooter rental with ease and gave us advice on good spots on the island. The property is awesome, great views of Volcan Concepcion, really good kitchen facilities for making your own food, everything was clean! There are fruit trees on the property which you can pick your own (coconuts and citrus fruits). Would recommend.

Excellent location right by the ferry port and near restaurants. The room was bigger than expected, the bed very comfy and the air conditioning worked brilliantly. The bathroom was a great size with really good water pressure in the shower. Really lovely staff too! There's a lovely little terrace with seats and charging points where you can sit and watch the sunset over the port. Great value for money, definitely recommend staying here in Moyogalpa.

Hostal Xilotl, hotel in Mérida

Featuring garden views, Hostal Xilotl in San José del Sur features accommodation and a garden. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking.

I had a great time staying here. First, it was only a five minute walk from the San José del Sur ferry port and very easy to find. It was quaint and cosy, and the rooms had everything you need including a fan that kept me cool at night. The patio was nice and included rocking chairs to relax in, and it was peaceful at night with fairy lights in the garden. The food was delicious, very reasonably priced, and the staff was very accommodating to make a vegetarian menu for me. I also recommend the guided tour! For a fair price you get to choose 4 guided spots to visit in a day. Also a 25-ish minute walk from Charco Verde and easy to find. Well worth it! I would certainly come back here and had a wonderful time.

    Teresa was absolutely lovely—an excellent host. Our room was very clean and the bed was large and comfy. Teresa was also an excellent cook we really enjoyed her pasta dish! We accidentally broke one of the tiles in the bathroom during our stay and Teresa was really understanding and we really appreciated that. The wifi was also very reliable.

    It was quiet and relaxed at this place. It was just in front of the water. They had a mango tree with tasty mangos. Everyone was very friendly and we could use the kitchen for preparing our meals. We were also able to order food which was very tasty and cheap. We had a motorbike, so transportation was convenient, but without it would be as easy. Our room was clean, we had two fans and enough space for our luggage. The tap water was drinkable. It was filtered water from coming from the mountain 🏔️.

    Lovely family and very helpful and caring host. It’s amazing for staying in a quiet place with a view. To experience something you always need transportation (scooter, car, taxi) because the busses don’t go often and the road is not bituminized. There is also not many shops or restaurants in town. The food in the lodge is prepared freshly by the mum which makes it take a little longer but it’s delicious. They were all fun to be around, especially the kids.

    Literally the cutest home. We had the nicest room and it was so clean and beautiful. The building was like an actual house instead of a hotel/hostel feel. Lots of cute chickens and pups running around. A really great host and breakfast. It was so quiet and peaceful.

    Loved the place in general, great location in front of the lake, we saw amazing sunsets while dipping in the water and having a cold beer served there by Jose Luis, the manager; which by the way, is an amazing host, always ready to help you with whatever you need. He even sent us a couple of bikes to pick me and my gf up from where the bus left us. And yeah, the beers are as cold as you can expect from a tropical paradise

    The hostel is in a beautiful and quiet location in the hills of Mérida amongst nature. Fantastic value for money for what is a really lovely, comfortable place. We had some delicious food at the restaurant there which was very reasonably priced. The owner, Maykel, was amazing, setting up kayaking for us and he even took us fishing twice on the dock at sunset. We took back the fish we caught and were able to have it for dinner. An unforgettable experience. This is the place to stay in Ometepe!
