If you want luxury, then this is not the hotel for you, but then you are unlikely to find any 5* ones on the island. The bungalows are adequate: large rooms (ours had 3 beds) with attached bathroom (lukewarm water, & just possible to stand it for a shower). Set in a nature reserve & we had the 'pleasure' of...

Traveling to the island of Ometepe can be a horrible gut-wrenching experience, or a very pleasant, relaxing one. It all depends upon which boat/ferry you take. The best vessel to take by far is called ""Rey del Cocibolca" ferry at San Jose del Sur located near to Hotel & Restaurante Charco Verde. 1) It's a shorter ride. 2) It's a... More

Ometepe is a beautiful, idyllic place with two volcanos, small villages, small museums. Charco Verde is an ecological preserve on the west coast about a half hour drive from the ferry port. Long walking trails where you see the long-tailed magpie jay, and hear the scary sounds of the howler monkeys. Hotel has a large open restaurant/bar on the beach.... More

Rooms are okay. Reasonably priced and a decent size. I was there with 2 friends for 2 nights. We left early both mornings so can't comment on breakfast. We only had dinner one night. The beef was tough and chewey and the fish was just ok. We hiked up both volcanoes and the check in staff arranged a guide from... More

At this time of year, it is windy! Rooms were spacious, bathrooms sufficient, though not very well kept up, and no hot water. The air conditioner set off sparks and a puff of smoke; thankfully, the overhead fan was sufficient. Loved the chair and hammock on the porch outside. Great sunsets and starts. The restaurant and bar were adequate. Staff... More

We went there as tourist not familiar with the area and seeking some guidance of surrounding sights or activities and since this is a secluded spot you do need some help arranging this from staff and need transport. The guest service lady was beyond usless. It was not a language barrier it was a lack of caring. She would not... More

We enjoyed our time here making the most of the natural amenities it has to offer. The staff were very friendly and helpful making our stay as comfortable as possible. The accommodations are quite basic but with a standing fan and the ongoing breeze helped keep our room cool without the need for air conditioning. We also had comfy chairs... More

This place was highly recommended by others. But.... after arriving the disappointments started: no hot water, well we can live without it, but the price should have included this basic amenity. The air-condition quit after half an hour. We moved to another room. The cochroaches and giant ants had an unending line to the bathroom. Waiters are there only for... More

I wish it had been a little cheaper (considering the prices at mini-utopias like Finca Mystica), and the food was kind of disappointing, but the great cabins and the proximity to the Charco Verde reserve made up for it. It's also on a nice, quiet beach. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Cold-water showers. Not very... More
