Isla Omtepe is a special place and we were pleasantly surprised by this lovely place. The staff appreciated that tried to use some spanish, really great food any time of day including vegatarian, great prices, private cabanas, your own hammock, views of the lake. The patio by lake which was a great place to hang out after the bar closed.... More

The french doors that open out onto the lake say it all! The first thing I did when I check in was throw open the doors and let in the warm breeze from the lake--quite lovely. I spent some time on the hammock on my front patio as well. The cabana was well appointed with a large shower, separate toilet,... More

We stayed at Villa paraiso for 3 nights. The cabanas were very charming and clean. The views and grounds were excellent. Unfortuanately, the food and the service (wait staff and front desk/office staff) were very poor. The staff was unfriendly and not helpful at all - they acted like they were being "put-out" with the simplest most routine requests. We... More

I am so glad I chose not to stay in one of the two "Towns" on the island. Villa Paraiso is on Playa Santo Domingo which is a nice beach with a great view of the volcano. The service is a bit poor -- the ladies at the front desk are somewhat courteous but for the most part act like... More

Beautiful quiet location, AC, jot water in some cabins, super clean compared to other places in Nicaragua, close to waterfall hike and ojo de agua. Rent bikes from Roberto across the street next to the tienda. Walk down the lake to a little bar on the left with drink specials and delicious meals. Paraisos food was delicious, but slightly overpriced... More

If you are going to Nicaragua, you MUST go to Ometepe--it is amazing! And if you go to Ometepe, you should definitely stay at Villa Paraiso. This place has about 30 cabin/cottages for rent. Depending on the size and if you want ac or not they go from $35-55 a night. Rooms are nothing special, but the beach, location, and... More

A charming collection of cabins right on a Lake Nicaragua (Cocibolca) fresh water beach, on the island of Ometepe, with a lounging area right on the sand. A gently slopping sand bottom makes entry into the lake easy. The staff is most friendly and attentive. Although most of the staff speak limited English, a fluent English speaker is available in...

We live in Nicaragua and decided to take an overnight trip to Ometepe Island with some friends who were visiting. We had a two year old, a four year old, an eleven year old and a thirteen year old with us. This place was great for what we needed. There are a few different price range options for you to... More

Go to Villa Paraiso for great food, but not to stay at the hotel. It's tilapia is some of the best I have had anywhere. The grilled steak and chicken are also superb. Our kids loved playing in the volcanic sand on the beach. But if you are staying anywhere on Playa Santa Domingo, the bugs are beyond horrendous. Having... More
