Amazing chef who made great dinner for like 5 dollars. Cool place to stay if you want to see Capuccin monkeys who shows up at the mornings.

“Nice escapade”

Great place to chill, very natural. The staff was very kind and helpful. Just in front of the hostel you can find a little beach, super nice. And the monkeys all around was fun to see.

“Nice location, dirty and run down establishment”

Location close to the beach. Very nice owner (although Spanish is necessary to communicate with him). Plenty of monkeys and birds on the property. I got to stay there for a very reduced price which made it ok but for the full price it's way overpriced.

“Authentic Ometepe Island Life”

Close to the nice beaches, authentic flair, monkeys coming to the lodge, helpful staff. Good value for the price! Enjoyed the stay there.

“A truly authentic and spectacular Nica Experience. No Dineyland ride or tourist conveyor belt here”

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 .

“felt like a tree house”

Amazing place to disconnect and be immersed in the middle of nature front lake, be waken up by noisy monkeys and birds and buy food from local seller to cook in the shared kitchen was just what we wanted. perfect position in the middle of the two volcanos. nice outside space, you can rent a motorcycle near by and go around the all island as we did. walk distance to ojo de agua and the river. don’t expect a hotel kitchen, is not the cleanest that I have seen but has everything you need.

“Cheap option”

Cheap option, Well located, good outdoors.

“Monkeys and beach!”

We had a really great stay. The location is perfect, very close to the beach, several restaurants and only a short walk to the natural pools. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and you got to see monkeys every morning. Rooms were spacious (we were upgraded to another bigger room without extra costs) and have more than enough beds inside ;) The whole design of the place is nice, and the jungle in the backyard is beatiful. Would recommend and come back here.

“If you want to see Capuchin monkeys, this is your place.”

The host Hector is the best! He is super helpful and keen to arrange anything the guest needs. The rooms are very basic, but clean and we didn’t have any issues with bugs although it is surrounded by nature. Beds are pretty comfy and the fans help to keep a nice temperature. But the absolute bonus is: the monkeys! they are everywhere, on the trees, on the roof, running around. They are super cute!

“i would not come again even though the idea of an eco lodge is good”

many recycled items, cheap

“Ok but not the cleanest room”

Staff were very accommodating and friendly. The location is the best to explore the island, in my opinion. Several local eateries are within walking distance. Can help organise bike rental etc

the staff and owner were exceptional - they dealt with every little question and issue. Hector was fabulous, he helped us get a ferry back at a crazy early time and was super kind and attentive. you could not ask for more. the location wa great and the animals were amazing. we wished we could have stayed longer for that!

“a hidden paradise”

the wildlife is incredible. the accommodation is on the edge of the jungle. we saw scorpios, colorful birds and even were able to feed the monkeys. the staff was very friendly and helpful. would recommend the place!
