El Güis hostel, hotel in Santo Domingo

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!

Hostal Xilotl, hotel in Santo Domingo

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.

We stayed there for 11 nights which already says a lot. We really liked the location. Super nice owner and family living there. Great breakfast for 130 - 140 Cordoba und close to good locations. 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!)

Hostal Bullshark, hotel in Santo Domingo

Featuring a garden and views of mountain, Hostal Bullshark is a recently renovated guest house set in Cuatro Esquinas, 16 km from Maderas Volcano.

Very kind and helpful owner organizes all you want for you and gives you hints for nice spots to visit. Its a quiet and remote place with a beautiful roof top terrace. All the hot spots (ojo de agua, playa mango, concepcion, chocolate factory, cascades & waterfall) are nearby with a scooter. Prices are also competitive, e.g. we got a very good scooter and a guided tour to volcano concepcion below average prices we found around the island

Lazy Crab Hostel, hotel in Santo Domingo

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.

Casa de Gio, hotel in Santo Domingo

Set in Moyogalpa, Casa de Gio offers free WiFi and units fitted with a kitchenette and seating area. Some units have a dining area and/or a patio.

I booked for one night and I finally stayed for 5. You can just rent a bike and explore the island without moving to another location/hotel. I felt more comfortable staying in the main city, having an AC room (is very hot these days and you need that), in a quiet place with many restaurants around you that you can visit in the evening and explore new places every day. The owner is a very nice person, I can definitely recommend to stay here if you will visit Ometepe!
