Most of the best memories I have of living on Ometepe Island were at El Zopilote. I had accommodation elsewhere but kept finding myself frequently visiting and deciding to sleep over, especially on Pizza Night! The best pizza in Nicaragua, handmade and baked in a traditional oven with mostly local produce to spicy perfection! The handmade chocolate is very pure... More

Beautiful location, great walks, and very sustainable. Kitchen is small and okay, considering how it is laid out. Food is average and pricey, you must walk down the hill 20 + minutes to find local comedores. Beds are not the most comfortable. Be sure to bring a flash light, it can be a bit treacherous walking around at night due... More

We bought the organic honey and it is the best in CA! We use honey for coffee so we search for good organic honey. Zopilote has the best we have ever had. Check them out in their cool bus.

All in very nice natural way, including outdoor showers. Special and relaxing place, even better than I expected when googled out. No communitarian fridge, and bad shape of kitchen equipment. Expensive local food available at farm reception, shops in village about 15-20 minutes to walk. Nice atmosphere on pizza night (3x per week), but to say truth, not a value... More

Un lugar precioso...para disfrutar de su tiempo, de una vida simple, de conocer la gente del pueblo ... comer productos organicos de buena calidad.....................................................................................

I spent quite a while at Zopilote in the Fall just between the rainy and dry seasons. I travelled all around Nicaragua and this was the best hostel for someone who likes simple accomodations that still has everything you need. You get a discount if you stay at least five days. They have camp sites, hammocks, dorms, and private cabins,... More
