Calm stay with a friendly and helpful staff
Reviewed By thestoryofphilippMy girlfriend and i stayed here for 2 nights in the deluxe double room. with a private bathroom. We wanted to stay in Madeira, because then the San Jamon waterfalls are very close. On the island, we also went hiking on the Volcano Maderas aand the Ojo de Agua. The histel is quite nice and directly located at the lake/beach. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and well decorated. The bathroom as well just simple and towels were provided. We could use the kitchen of the hostel, which was mostly clean and just simple equipped. The trail to the hostel from the street is pretty tough with a scooter. By foot not really a problem, but because of the rocks and the conditions, the scooter has to driven quite confident. Otherwise you have to push the scooter the whole way. The staff was actually not really talkative and additionally, they didn’t tell us, what they actually offer. So for example, we didn’t know that they make a nice pancake breakfast or some dinner, if you wish, and also the opportunity to rent some kayaks from the hostel.

Perfect views in the midst of nature.
Reviewed By 974jeroensLa Omaja has the best location on the island. The views are really amazing; a sunset with a vulcano as dramatic backdrop cannot be found in many places... The gardens are lush and beatiful as well and the cabana's perfectly placed to give you the most of the views and lots of privacy. Food is good too and the freshly made juices are a real treat and very affordable. You are pretty close to nature and expect a spider or two, but also expect howler monkey's visting up in the trees now and then! It's an easy walk to a lovely pier in the lake where you can watch the birdlife or the stars at night; this is not a swimmimg location, but that can be done nearby. Staff is helpfull in arranging all kinds of activities if you don't have your own transportation. The pool is a bit smaller than it looks in the pictures but great to watch the sunset. There's excellent wifi at the restaurant, but not at the cabanas.

Excellent Food
Reviewed By lifeinthetopbunkWe didn't stay here, but we had a marvellous meal! Best spaghetti bolognese I've ever had, and a double rum is only $2... a very nice break from Toña every night. Lovely server and a hip atmosphere! We tried to go back twice more, but they were closed two nights in a row.

Beautiful and peacful place for lunch

Ein unveregesslicher Aufenthalt!
Reviewed By schrenklersSpätestens seit unserer letzten Reise in Myanmar ist der Stop in einem Homestay ein Muss. Je größer und authentischer die Familie ist umso besser! Wir haben uns bei Maria und ihrer Familie von der ersten Sekunde an willkommen gefühlt. Die Familie ist für einen da, dabei aber nicht aufdringlich. Hat man eine Frage oder einen Wunsch so wird einem geholfen. Manchmal auch ungefragt. :) Über die Zimmer muss ich hier nichts schreiben. Sie sind zweckmäßig, aber darum geht es auch nicht! Das Homestay liegt direkt am See und man kann dort u.a. den Blick auf den Vulkan Concepción genießen. Einige Minuten den Strand entlang bekommt man eine noch bessere Aussicht auf den Vulkan! Ich empfehle auf jeden Fall sich einen Nachmittag auf Ometepe frei zu halten und diesen mit der Familie zu verbringen! Wir werden diesen Aufenthalt mit Sicherheit nicht so schnell vergessen! Gracias Maria por esta estancia inolvidable. Saludos a tu familia. ¡No te olvidaremos!

Is a family-run hotel with a view of the beach surrounded by nature with tourist areas nearby
Family-run soda en route to San Ramon
Reviewed By lifeinthetopbunkThis is a great place to have a healthy and filling lunch after a hike up to the waterfall! The comida tipica is a heaping plate - perfect to combat lost energy. The owner is eager to converse, and the food is a good value. We left happy and educated!

A little gem
Reviewed By KareyspadyTo sleep in a round room is unique, but a large stone shower (with hot water) in Nicaragua, is a rare find. A lovely view ,with a host who will go out of their way, makes for a lovely stay. On the island, one must have transportation of some kind... thats what makes it fun!
