Such a wonderful experience traveling with family, young children and our service animal. The location is breathtakingly beautiful with its forestry natural landscape, wildlife in the trees (monkeys!) and opportunities to horseback ride all around the property, pueblito, and the beach. Stunning views and the only sad thing is we could not stay longer due to other plans, but we’ll be back here for sure!

Beautiful property

Pros: -tranquil setting right along the beach -stunningly lush property with plenty of howler monkeys and birds -beautifully appointed rooms (we had a cabin on the lake) -very clean -staff were very kind -highly recommend if you’re looking for a scenic and relaxing place among nature. Cons: - not the fault of the finca but plenty of mosquitos around due to pond behind cabins - poorly lit path from main road to the finca - overpriced food. We had 4 different menu items and would only recommend the chicken and carrot soup. -due to the sand and windy conditions, the rug in the room needed a good cleaning.

The property is as remote as it gets. If you want to be woken up by monkeys howling at 3am, this is the place for you. The cleanliness was supbpar. Our room was infested with ants. We left a day early because my 12 yr old couldn’t take it anymore. No toiletries are provided in the rooms, the rooms have a musty smell, the attention to the client is non existent. Do not recommend.

If you're looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience in Ometepe, Finca San Juan de La Isla is an absolute must. This isn't your typical tourist trap; it's a genuine slice of paradise nestled deep within the island's lush jungle. Yes, the drive in is a bit of an adventure – expect some bumpy roads and a true 'island' experience – but trust me, the reward is immeasurable. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the tranquility of the finca. The sounds of nature, the vibrant greenery, and the genuine warmth of the staff created an instant sense of peace. The accommodations were rustic and charming, perfectly blending with the natural surroundings. It's clear that the finca is run with a deep respect for the environment and a passion for showcasing the beauty of Ometepe. What truly sets Finca San Juan de La Isla apart is the immersive experience. We explored the trails, swam in the natural pools, and learned about the local flora and fauna. The food was incredible, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients – a true taste of Nicaragua. And the sunsets? Simply breathtaking. This isn't just a place to stay; it's a place to connect with nature, disconnect from the world, and experience the true heart of Ometepe. If you're seeking adventure, tranquility, and a truly unforgettable experience, make the journey to Finca San Juan de La Isla. You won't regret it. Five stars doesn't even feel like enough!

This place is nice and quiet and very private. Great place to come get away from the city life. The entrance from the main road is 2 kilometers down a rustic road that might seemed like you’re lost but just keep going till you pass the banana plantation. It’s a beach side property with friendly staff.

My particular standard cabin was not something I’d ever stay in again. There was no hot water, tons of ants & I found a snake and scorpion in my room one day. The staff was very nice & thankfully put me up in another room. Restaurant on site was convenient, but average food.

Great hidden get away!

The property is 2KM in via dirt / somewhat paved road (can be a bit rough). Once there, paradise. Cabins are lake side; clean and nice! Restaurant is good and can eat along side exotic birds (that are waiting for you to drop something:)

No response from this property when we and Expedia reached out. Canceled within a day of booking and before our check in date, no consideration for a medical situation we were dealing with. No discretion to partially refund or even offer a credit. Will book elsewhere moving forward

Hidden oasis. A beautiful tranquil place. Down a 2km track off the road. Surrounded by nature, jungle and next to the waters. We stayed in the buildings away from the water front. Bed comfortable. Outside hammock in the green, views of conception. Staff were friendly, helping us plan our day and scooter. Local grown food on the menu.
