    serene garden ambiance
    intermittent power issues

    The garden ambiance creates a serene escape, perfect for relaxing afternoon walks.

    The power flickered intermittently during my stay, which was quite inconvenient.

    stunning views
    clean facilities
    poor access

    Stunning views of Volcan Concepcion from the room, offering a picturesque backdrop. Clean facilities add a layer of comfort during the stay.

    Access to the property is tricky, especially at night with a rough, poorly lit trail. The rooms are smaller than anticipated and could use a good cleaning. I encountered some spiders and dead bugs upon entry. Power outages are frequent, making for an unreliable experience, and the bed was harder than preferred, paired with subpar pillows.

    amazing views
    clean accommodation
    scooter rental
    bumpy road
    firm bed

    I spent 5 nights here while exploring Ometepe and was really impressed by the amazing views of Volcan Concepcion from my room and the restaurant area. The place is clean and secure, and I appreciated the air conditioning in my room during the warm days. It's conveniently located just a short walk from Playa Santa Cruz and other local spots. Plus, I really enjoyed renting a scooter right from the hotel to discover more of the island.

    tricky access
    cleanliness issues
    firm bed

    The breathtaking views from the restaurant truly set the tone for our stay, complemented by the delicious eclectic British dishes we enjoyed daily. However, access to the property was somewhat tricky, especially at night due to the poorly lit path, and we encountered some minor issues with room cleanliness that detracted from the experience. The bed was firmer than preferred, which may not suit everyone’s taste.

    friendly staff

    Couple perfect getaway

    We stayed for 2 nights and the staff were so helpful. They directed us on bus timetables and how to explore without a scooter. The coffee was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and just what we wanted.

    Pricing was on the higher side but for the value we got, it was still worthy.

    beautiful gardens
    tricky access

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens with stunning views of the Concepción Volcano. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided helpful recommendations for local activities, making our group feel welcomed and taken care of. Our room was clean and comfortable, giving us a perfect retreat after busy days exploring the local area.

    The access to the property felt a bit tricky, especially at night.
