El Bamboo Tree House

We booked one night and ended up staying seven. Che is friendly, generous, and interesting, and I’d be surprised if this isn’t one of the most interesting and amazing places to stay on Ometepe. We tried both the two-story and single-story apartments. Each had a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and bathroom with warm water, which seemed kind of crazy given the location. There was even a blender for making fresh smoothies at home. The water views are hard to beat, and the wind, waves, and trees made for really good sleep. Book this place!

At “Mirador del Lago” we had a beautiful view right in front of the lake. “El Bamboo” is a place made with a lot of love, and I was amazed by how Che created it. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Che can help with transport, recommendations, laundry service, or a scooter if you need one. His dogs greet you like their owner, and we fell in love with them. Highly recommended, and thanks for such a unique place!

The location is really good, with lots of nice local restaurants nearby, especially cafe Campestre. El Bamboo was one of my favorite places from our whole central America trip. The cabin was beautiful and very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and hot water in the shower. Che was welcoming and took us up to his coffee plantation, where he showed us local wildlife, including birds and monkeys. His dogs are really cute too. Would highly recommend Che's El Bamboo.

The cabins are spacious and really well made, even prettier in person than in the pictures. The area is great for getting out in nature, and Che is a great guy with lovely dogs. He even took us to see the Petroglyphs. The house and garden made this our best stay in Nicaragua. 10/10, would recommend!
