Paradise on a steep hill
Pros:

Perfect if you want your intimacy and if you want a nice view when you wake up!When we arrived,we were the only one there ,so the pool was for us only!Didnt see any locals at the pool area like the other review said.

Cons:

Cold water and ok pressure just like anywhere on ometepe.location is fine(not far from the middle )but the roads to make it are not in the best condition.The way up the hill to the hostel was Scarry at first but easily do-able with a toyota yaris.

Excelente! Muchas gracias a su staff por su amabilidad
Pros:

Me gustó mucho la propiedad, es igual a las fotos promocionales, la habitación y el baño estaban limpios. Muy relajante. La piscina estaba limpia, no tuvimos oportunidad de usarla, pero la vista que tiene es increíble, la comida estaba muy rica y las personas que nos recibieron fueron muy amables en todo momento, nos explicaron todo lo que teníamos que saber.

Cons:

No es que no me haya gustado, pero sí hubiera sido bueno saber que una cierta parte de la carretera para llegar al hotel no está adoquinada, es calle de tierra pero esta lisa. De igual manera, para acceder al hotel hay una subida, no es necesario un 4x4, mi vehículo liviano pudo acceder sin problemas ya que es alto, pero para futuros huéspedes, tengan en consideración

5 star! A must in ometepe
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an absolutely amazing stay at Omaja Hotel. Everything was perfect from the moment I arrived. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and you can tell the property is well maintained.

The pool is incredible, honestly one of the highlights of the stay. Relaxing there with the beautiful view around is something I will not forget. The scenery is simply stunning.

The food was also very good. Fresh, tasty and well presented. Every meal was a pleasure.

What truly makes this place special is the staff. Everyone is kind, welcoming and professional. A very special mention to Maykeling, she is the best. She goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel happy and taken care of. Her energy and kindness made the experience even better.

I highly recommend Omaja Hotel and I will definitely come back.

Cons:

The only minor issues were that the shower pressure was a bit low, and the light in our cabana #3 was blinking. Nothing major at all, just small details that could be improved.
Overall, I highly recommend Omaja Hotel and I would definitely come back.

Pros:

Die Aussicht ist schön

Cons:

Es kommen viele nicht Hotelgäste an den Pool. Der Service kann kein englisch. Was gar nicht geht, sie haben uns einen höheren Preis von der Kreditkarte abgezogen, als auf der Rechnung und bei Booking stand. Vom Hotel antwortet keiner auf Nachrichten. Richtige abzocke!

Please for God sake, write a warning to customers about travel restrictions!! I come from New York !! Even though, I cam
Pros:

I am so so heartbroken with this Hotel. I made one night reservation for almost $200 thinking that I was going to be able to enjoy the pool and the view with my family. But when I got to the Ferry Terminal the stuff told me that they didn’t have space for my SUV. Immediately, I call the hotel to explain and to give any other option who to get to their hotel. Literally. I called multiple times from regular phone service and WhatsApp and it’s unavailable that they don’t really pick up the phone and when finally, they did it they practically told me “screw you” you will lost your $200 if you don’t make. And I couldn’t make it because at the Ferry Terminal told me that there was NOT any space to take my car and that I should had it booked 15 days ago and the worst they don’t have a website or a warning about this huge problem how to get to the island if you come from New York !!! I lost all my money because of the luck of communication. On top of that, at the Ferry Terminal since the moment I drove in they thought I was not a Nicaraguan and I felt discriminated only because I am whiter than most local people !! Shame !!

Fantastic view
Pros:

I would absolutely stay here again for the view and sunset. We enjoyed chilling in the pool while watching the sunset over the volcano and the lake. Not far from San Ramon waterfall. We had a good meal in the restaurant. We drove our hire car up here with no problem. I don't understand why it doesn't have a better rating.

Cons:

As with most places we've stayed in Nicaragua, the WiFi is not the most reliable and there was no hot water.

Amazing view, but the service and food didn't come close to matching it.
Pros:

The location and view where awesome!

Cons:

The food was not that good, and the service could have been better. The staff asked for our full payment before we had even arrived and settled in and saw the room. Other communication could have been better as well. There were some things in our room that weren't working correctly. The toilet, and shower head. How much would it cost to just replace the shower head for one that works??
No fruit for breakfast and very meager breakfast offered overall.
