Caballito's Mar - private room on the lake

FardauRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Great place if you're looking to stay directly by the lake! The houses are basic, but it works! I enjoyed most being close to the lake and going for a morning swim. Both nights there was quite loud music till late (and we like to sleep early), which could have been an exception... Fernando and the other staff are very friendly and welcoming. For a shorter stay I would def recommend.

A thatched-roof structure is framed by lush greenery, including large banana leaves and vibrant flowering plants. The building features large windows that create a connection with the surrounding nature, emphasizing a serene and natural environment.

Private Room on a Tranquil Resort

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Ich habe diese Unterkunft nur aufgrund der tollen Bewertungen gebucht, welche aber noch maßlos untertrieben waren! Das Anwesen hat uns den Atem geraubt und Adyana ebenso. Wir hatten das große Glück tatsächlich die einzigen Gäste zu sein und hatten somit das ganze Resort für uns, was großartig war. Die Gastgeberin war so herzlich, wir freuten uns immer sie zu sehen und uns mit ihr zu unterhalten. Ich konnte sofort entspannen und die Seele baumeln lassen in diesem wunderschönen Paradies direkt am Strand, einem privaten Strand übrigens. Der natürliche Pool, welcher von prächtigen grünen Pflanzen umgeben war, war das absolute Highlight. Den durften wir Tag und Nacht benutzen. 4 Katzen, 1 Truthahn und ein paar Hühner wohnen auch auf den Anwesen. 1 Minute Fußmarsch entfernt gibts eine tolle Bar am Strand wo ihr lecker Frühstücken könnt. Wenn ihr auf Ometepe seid, lasst euch diese wunderschöne Oase bitte nicht entgehen!!!

A cozy outdoor area is illuminated by string lights, featuring a small fire pit with glowing flames. Nearby, a shallow blue pool reflects the soft light, surrounded by plants and the rustic stone wall. An inviting atmosphere is created by the natural greenery.

Perfect stay on Ometepe Island. We had a great stay at Missy’s home. Both her and her children were so helpful and friendly and we felt right at home. The location is great and also has a lovely cafe/restaurant next door. We had access to the kitchen and laundry service was provided too. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Had a really nice couple of nights at this beautiful property. Very peaceful and perfect for some R&R. A little bit out of the way - walkable (20-30mins) to some local shops and restaurants but would recommend a car or dirt bike. Highly recommend!
