Totoco is paradise! From the moment you arrive the very friendly staff makes you feel at home and offers you the freshest juice on the planet! They give you a tour and explain just how "green" their establishment is. It is astounding how unobtrusive and well-thought out everything from their waste to their organic farm is! Very impressive. The restaurant... More

This is a real nice B and B on Ometepe Island. The location is wonderful, but it is located in the midle of nowhere, so you need to take that in mind. The rooms are nice and we had what we needed. There are cleqan and quite cozy. It is not cheap and you more or less have to eat... More

Had a great time at Totoco. The place is beautiful, food is fresh and lovely, staff is super helpful. Stayed in the dorm, which was spacious and quite nice. Was very impressed with all green practices they have put in place. Having a perfect cocktail and watching the sunset was just lovely. More

I was quite disappointed with Totoco. I have never been to Ometepe islands and when I booked Totoco online, not only was it expensive but it also made no mention of the fact that it is located in the middle of nowhere. I had not anticipated that Totoco would be so isolated from everything else, because of this we always... More

As backpackers we stayed in the dorm ($11pp) in this beautiful lodge, which was really reasonable for the standard of service and accommodation. The lodge is beautiful, with amazing views, beautiful pool and really friendly staff. The food packages (veggie or meat) are well priced too and the food is lovely! Some of the tours are a bit pricey unless... More

My wife and I just returned from our trip to Nicaragua.

While visiting the Volcanic Island of Omotepe, we stayed at the Totoco Ecolodge. The room we stayed is was... More

This is a hidden gem. The setting is amazing, the staff wonderfully friendly and helpful, and the cabanas perfect. It's the perfect place to get away from the world and relax. Go before it becomes a lot more expensive or too many people find out about it! More

Travel up a very bumpy road to a phenomenal view of Volcan Concepcion. Enjoy a cold Tona, Victoria or a piña colada in the open air reception/lounge/restaurant and gaze at the fog capped volcano in the distance. Then venture to your thatched roof haven. Ours is Tonatiu, a golden yellow glow in a field of green. With its high ceilings,... More

We stayed for three nights in this paradise. An excellent lodge, really living up to the eco principles, very friendly and helpful staff. The food we had was among the best of our two weeks stay in Nicaragua. The cabana we stayed in (Tonatiu) was big clean and enjoyed a wonderful view on neighboring volcano Concepcion. Also the tours we... More

You'll travel an hour from the ferry to get to Totoco, over some of the bumpiest, most ragged road you'll ever see. But once you're there, the natural beauty of the place and friendly hosts will make the journey more than worthwhile. We stayed in the Ometepetl cabin and it was perfect for us: clean and very private. The view... More
