Nov 2009, showed up at Villa Paraiso and the first thing which crossed my mind is "how on earth was this rated on of the best hotels on Ometepe (LP, Moon and other sources). Are they mad ? Place is run-down, looks old and tired. The have maybe 2 or 3 nice newer rooms but having just a handful of... more

My husband and I stayed here for one night. Great location on Santa Domingo beach- gorgeous to walk up the beach towards the volvano. Beautiful property. The rooms are cute little cabins almost. Loved the porch with the wooden chair and tables and great hammocks. We found the food at the hotel to be rather pricey (oh and the bluejays... more

I liked the little huts and the food was also really nice. Unfortunately we had a wide variety of insects in our room, I know it is impossible to get rid of all the insects and creepy crawlies, but they could have done some more effort. Wonderful views from terrace. Generally we enjoyed our stay in the hotel. more

Stayed in Casita 22. 3 times when I turned on the bathroom faucet a frog popped out. By the third time I got used to it. The room has basic amenities such as a/c, cold running water and electricity. I didn't have a problem with mosquitoes but there were frogs, geckos and ants in the room. The air conditioner works... more

We stayed 3 nights here & we were somewhat disappointed on the whole. We didn't have a problem with the room, the small bathroom (shower temperature ranged from warm to cold) or the lovely gardens immediately around our cabin. The staff were pleasant & helpful, the fish dishes in particualr were very good It seemed that the hotel lacked management... more

My friends and I had one night in Ometepe and while it wasn't the highlight of our trip to Nicaragua, it was a pleasant enough stay. We took the 1-hr ferry from San Jorge ($3 paid on board, on the way back you can buy a ticket at the station or pay on board - we had heard they charge... more

Just back from ometepe and we found that Villa Paraiso was very very windy at this time of year. I would recommend going to a hotel on the other side of the lake as the wind was so strong that everyone looked for protection behind the blinds. Stopped at Charco verde which was much nicer although flies were anoying there... more

As part of a Tours Nicaragua six day/night travel package in Nicaragua that I receontly completed, the tour included a two day stay at Villa Paraiso on Isla de Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. While pre-tripping the full six day package, I noticed a number of complaints about the ¨beach¨at Villa Paraiso as well as comments about electrical power failures at... more

We decided to stay at Villa Paraiso because of Playa Santo Domingo, the beach. There is no beach because of high water.We asked a local who had an establishment on what is left of the beach and he told us there hasn't been a beach there in about 1 1/2 years. We wish we had known this! The Villa Paraiso... more
