  We didn’t stay at El Pital, but experienced the chocolate tour and loved it! Justin who led the tour had so much knowledge and passion about the topic that we found ourselves totally engrossed in the subject from the history, science, politics and philosophy. The place has a lovely view of the lake and behind the property you tour and learn about how cacao is grown and craft chocolate made. Would recommend the to anyone considering to learn about chocolate!

  Wouldn’t stay again! As the place is nice, please keep in mind that it’s a common thing to have your gas stolen for a vehicle. They have 2 parkings, one is closer to the reception but there are no signs, so you just park where is says parking (without knowing there is a second parking there). We parked our atv there with a full tank, and the next morning it turned out that our gas was stolen. Luckily some locals were able to help us and get the gas for us. All the locals said it’s happens there all the time, and the hotel doesn’t do anything with it. When we said it to the reception they were like- oh, where did you park- no apologizes. Zero signs telling that there is a second parking for motorcycles, or to be aware of thieves. I would expect more from the most expensive place on the whole island. We booked a private room for 2 nights, and as the room is very nice, they didn’t clean our room (not a big deal in general, but since you can’t flush the toilet paper it would be nice if they could at least empty the trashes). The food is okay, but overpriced as for Nicaragua and you can get way better food around. Other places on the island are much nicer, and as it turns out- safer, so wouldn’t bother staying there again.

  Excellent and recommended place! Extremely tasty vegan food, great smoothies and a great atmosphere. All you will hear at night is nature and the waves. The staff is lovely and ready to help with any request. I highly recommend doing the chocolate tour that the place offers.

  Chill place to stay for a few nights. They have a great restaurant with great views of the volcano and the lake. The only downside was that the restaurant only serves beer and I'm not a beer drinking. There is plenty of parking on the property. It was my first time driving an ATV and I was not comfortable driving it down the steep dirt road hill to the hostel parking lot so I parked it where other guests parked their motorcycles (close to the El Pital sign on the road at the top of the hill). I would not recommend parking at the top of the hill overnight because my gas was stolen out of my vehicle at night. Other than that, I had a great stay.

  This review is only for the cafe/restaurant. It is an absolutely stunning spot, beautiful chairs and benches overlooking the water and volcano views. The area is at one with nature and very rustic, but quite stylish too. It has a really nice vibe and delicious food and drinks - I am still dreaming about their vegan brownie!!!! It was well worth the trek down the path, which is very steep and rocky. It's a bit of an adventure, but we didn't have any issues with our scooter, just be careful and take it slow. Really good WiFi here which is hard to come by on the island.
