Wonderful place to stay! We first chose Soma because it was quiet and had excellent internet for a series of Zoom meetings and negotiations. It all went perfectly. In fact, one wall was the perfect green for putting up meeting backgrounds and we looked so professional putting up the library image behind our "desk." After the work was done, we were so comfortable that we stayed on for a whole week. I highly recommend Soma for a period of home officing in amazing comfort or a brief "stay-cation" for a change of pace. This hotel is just a short walk or tuk-tuk ride from the port town of Moyogalpa, but it felt worlds away. So peaceful. The whole property was lush, spacious and breezy, with everyone respecting distance, and masking when appropriate. It felt very safe and respectful. Guest numbers were being kept low so that each guest could feel uncrowded. Breakfast choices on the open-air dining patio were wholesome and delicious- especially the homemade granola with local fruit and yogurt. In the room, I first noticed how large it was, with comfy beds and lots and lots of fluffy pillows. We each got our own top-sheet on the king-size bed and slept great. The A/C was a treat! The room was super clean too. Large private verandas on the cabins gave amazing privacy. Sarah and Terry were gracious and helpful. We got menus to order in great delivery dinners from restaurants and advice to find what we wanted. Oh, and the pool was crystal clear and refreshing! Oh, and did I mention pillows?!!!! It is our favorite place. We will be back soon.…

My husband, daughter and I travelled to Nicaragua for the second time in early March 2020, never dreaming that a global pandemic would be declared shortly after we arrived. The news forced us to cut our trip short by a few days and because we had just arrived on Ometepe (our first visit to the island), we decided to stay there for the duration of our trip rather than going to a more populated area of the mainland as we had originally planned. We had booked a family cabin at Hospedaje Soma for 3 nights and ended up staying for 6 -that was a great decision. It is such a lovely place owned by such lovely people. Fellow Canadians Sarah, Terry and Michele and their fabulous staff could not have been kinder and more welcoming. The grounds are gorgeous, the pool fabulous and the restaurant area relaxing and comfortable. The food at the restaurant and the drinks we enjoyed poolside were delicious. Our cabin was clean, large, beautiful and incredibly comfortable. And we did so much on Ometepe, thanks in large part to the advice of our hosts. They helped us plan day trips and hire fantastic drivers -huge highlights were Ojo de Agua and the day we spent on ATVs travelling across the island to the San Ramon waterfall. We had the most incredible time and are all so grateful that we were able to spend the majority of our time on Ometepe at Hospedaje Soma. They are both jewels of Nicaragua.…

My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights on Ometepe in November. We loved our time on the island, thanks in no small part to the excellent meals, comfortable beds, and helpful advice and support we enjoyed while staying at Hospedaje Soma. We particularly liked being able to cool off in the pool on the day we arrived after a long drive and the ferry ride, the honor system that provided in-demand access to sodas and snacks, and the friendly cats that stalk the property. The owners helped us arrange 4-wheelers (at what we learned was a fair rate) to get around the island, provided insights into which destinations to prioritize, and generally made us feel at home. We loved both the breakfasts we ate there every morning as well as the outstanding Italian (pomodoro) and Indian (butter chicken). Because the sights are spread all over the island, there is no area significantly more convenient than the rest, and we were happy to be so close to the port and in so quiet an area,…

We first stayed at Hospedaje Soma for a coincidence for two days, on our way to Granada. It turned out to be the most fantastic place! Actually, we all felt a bit “homesick” longing for Ometepe and the calm and unique atmosphere in Soma, so we came back and stayed for another 8 days. We are travelling in Latin America with two kids (2 and 4 years old) for 3 months, and Ometepe and living at Soma is the absolute highlight of our trip so far. The Hostal is an unique mix of all kinds of people; backpackers travelling alone at all ages, couples, families with children... so nice. The two sweetest kittens and the dog Roxy was a big hit, not to mention all the toys available. We spent many hours playing building Lego boats and swimming in the nice pool. It’s easy to feel that the owners Sarah, Terry and Michelle have their hearts and souls in the Hostal. We will definitely recommend Hospedaje Soma and hope to come back another time! …

Over the past 6 years, we've visited Ometepe Island 8 times & stayed at Hospedaje Soma all but once, and that's only because they were full. Set just on the edge of town, but easily walkable, you'll find quiet peacefulness in a lush garden setting. The hosts are very knowledgeable when helping you plan fun island excursions. They can set up guided hiking trips, kayak explorations or suggest other fun activities.We appreciated their trusted moto, scooter & quad rentals! We have often seen people run into problems with poorly maintained equipment, but Soma makes sure to set you up with quality vendors! When you don't feel like exploring the island, you can enjoy Soma's refreshing swimming pool or a nap in one of their hammocks. They even have a wonderful on-site restaurant now too! It's kind of a cross of delicious British pub/Curries/Italian food by night and sandwiches by day.I highly recommend Soma for value, beauty, tranquility & great staff.…
