  NOTE: this review is for the restaurant, NOT the hotel. Their Google page has no menu since it's associated with the hotel and the menu didn't have entree veggie options, so take note of that if you're vegetarian. The restaurant was terrible. The food took an hour to get out. Even simple foods like salad and soup took longer than is normal to expect. They almost gave us an extra salad and they completely forgot one of the entrees we ordered. When we told them, they started making it, but we were in a rush and didn't want to wait another hour for it, so we just paid and left. Thankfully, the waiter didn't charge us for the entree or for the coffee that we ordered for while we wait. The waiter was friendly, too, and tried his best with what he had. The food they did give us didn't taste good, either. I ordered a fettuccine pasta and they gave it to me al dente, so it was difficult to eat and digest for me. On top of that, it had red onions in it, for some weird reason. It didn't taste good to me. I had to stop eating it so as to not upset my stomach further. And the salad had salty lettuce. The bathroom was disgusting and cheap-looking. For a hotel restaurant, it left me impressed at how little effort was put into it. At least there's toilet paper, but the toilet had a cheap plastic toilet seat, the trash can was a cheap kid one with Marvel super heroes, the floor has parts without tile. Don't come here unless you want to wait forever for bad food.

  This review is mainly for your restaurant and bar. We missed the ferry on the way to Ometepe, so had to find a place to stay overnight. Found a restaurant that had a hotel as well. No great expectations to either, but the restaurant/bar turned out to be the best on our trip. Food was amazing, the waiter Carlos, a super nice guy, drinks were really good. We had seafood soup, ceviche, lobster and churrasco. The food was super fresh and good, the best seafood soup ever. So much value for money. During the evening we saw so many people picking up food, it must have been good for locals too. The hotel wasn't anything special at all, but we got a couple of beds and AC. Had to fix the shower as the shower head was all clogged up by minerals, but afterwards it worked fine. But definitely a good pit stop for food and drinks, totally unexpected .
