El Pital, Chocolate Paradise has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Balgue. 3 km from Santo Domingo Beach and 11 km from Maderas Volcano, the property offers a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

The property was so nice. It was in nature with a jungle vibe but also very clean. The food was amazing! I stayed in the 10 bed dorm and it was very big and comfortable. The vibe was relaxed as well. There isn’t a common area but rather everyone hangs out by the water in the restaurant but as a solo traveller I met some great people just in the dorm. The staff are also very friendly. If you’re a party person, this isn’t the hostel for you. If you want to relax in a nice place surrounded by nature, this is the place for you.

Set in Santa Cruz, Raindance features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.7 km from Santo Domingo Beach.

Every room includes a private bathroom and a shower, and certain units at the hostel have a terrace.

Out of all my years travelling, I’ve never found somewhere that has ticked literally every box. It’s so clear that the owners have spent many years backpacking as everything has been thought of from a back packers perspective. As well as amenities, the vibe is so goooood. The chilled nights are chilled and the party nights are banging. The music and food, the staff, the location, everything! Thank you soooo much to Charlie, Styx and the gang for looking after me and attending to my every need. I’m so gutted I had to eventually leave. Love and appreciate you guys! May we meet again! I reccomend rain dance to everyone.

Situated on the beach in Santo Domingo, 45 km from San Juan del Sur, hostal Eco-Lodge La Chiponga boasts a sun terrace and views of the mountain. Altagracia is 6 km away. Free private parking is available on site.

I had noticed la chiponga when I arrived on ometepe and was exploring on my scooter .It looked beautiful. very creative and artisic from the camino. I was already booked in somewhere else for 3 days. The place I was in was nice, but very inaccesable due to a long dangerous driveway to the hotel. Sometimes they dont show you those things on their booking site,. The property is gorgeous. Several sculptures and a beautiful watrerfall feature. They had almost completed a bar in the same crative theme right on the lake, I had my own bungalow with a bath and kitchen. Goreous view of the lake . Easy access to several excelllent restaurants. The staff were really helpful and freindly. They arranged a hike of the volcano and atually took my boots to a Zapataceria to be professionally fixed They directed me to the waterfalls as I wanted to do this myself They gave me great tips and ideas for things to do on the island A Nica rodeo, an awesomome hands on tour of Imoerial miel. A business in Atagracia where i participated in beekeeping and honey production. Would highly recomend. Didnt find any mention of these activities online or thru any other tour companies. Each morning I woke up to inquisitve monkeys poking their head thru my open door (totally safe) and parrots landing on my wall First thing I heard was the sound of the waves on the beach and after I opened my curtains and door an incredible mirador. I would recomend renting a motorcycle or scooter while on the island as it is generally very affordable and the best way to see everthing as well as really just a blast. Word of warning Stay away fom Dinartes scooter rental in Moyogalpe. I should have read their reviews. Thre are loads of very ethical angencies whowill not shmooze you and give you subpar machines. With their help I was able to replace my scooter and replace it with a much better one .

Set in Mérida, 3.9 km from Maderas Volcano, Los Chocoyos offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

This place exceeded all my expectations! The location on the beach is magical, you can wake up to the lake & watch amazing sunsets. The staff are wonderful too they cooked up a meal for me one night even though the kitchen was closed & upgraded me to a better room because they had some spare & they speak English. Perfect if you want to escape the busy inland places like Granada, San Juan Del Sur or Rivas for a few days.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We slept the first two nights in the cabin with own bathroom, which was really nice. A cute nice small cabin, and we got a towel! The hostel itself is nice and small, nice guest. Kitchen you can use, everything is clean. They made nice spots to sit/chill everywhere. The hosts are really kind, help you with everything (booking tours/shuttles etc). And they have really nice dogs!

    The family is very friendly. We rented a scooter which worked very well. Kitchen was well equipped and the breakfast is good and cheap. A lot of hammocks to relax. You can walk directly to the vulcano from the hostel.

    An amazing hostel, with the friendliest and most helpful staff and lovely chill vibes. Super clean and comfortable, this is definitely the best hostel on Ometepe Island and I would recommend it to everyone :) They have a well-equipped kitchen to cook in and a tasty menu - try the salad bowl and the crepes they are soooo tasty! There is a cosy hammock chill out space too.

    We stayed in total 5 nights with this lovely family. When you book the place , it looks like a hostel but you stay on the same property like the family that owns it. They are all so kind and help you with any questions. Fernando is really good in talking English, so even if your Spanish is not that good, they can help you :) The breakfast is cheap and delicious (I recommend the local breakfast), but they also do pancakes. Nearby you can find restaurants for lunch and dinner in walking distance. Muchas gracias !!!

    Very nice hostel in a great location. The kitchen has everything you need and gets cleaned daily. The upstairs hangout area is comfortable and spacious. I used it for my yoga practice and just put two hammocks down to have a bit more space. The owners are very friendly and answer any question you might have.

    This hostel is amazing!! We stayed in a private room, it was very clean, great location, great garden, nice chilling area with a view to the volcano, but all that aside the best thing we’re the hosts! Super kind and helpful! They also have a restaurant with great breakfast, pasta and bowls! We even came back to eat here only because of the food, while we are staying at another place! They also have laundry service, tours etc We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
