We had a fantastic two day stay at Totoco. The staff were amazingly attentive and the room was superb. This is a great spot to relax in and marvel at the view of Concepcion. The only thing to note is how far the hotel is from activities and we would recommend renting a scooter or car while here.

If I could just rate the staff, I would give it a 5*. Everyone was so nice and helpful: the manager, people at the front desk and the ladies in the kitchen. It's a wonderful team. The place has so much potential! It just needs a lot of upgrades. The power in the cabanas goes out frequently, and your only option is to walk in the dark at night to ask the front desk for a reboot. My bed pillows smelled horrible and need to be replaced. The bed mosquito net had multiple holes and need to be replaced too. It was impossible to sleep. There were bats in my bathroom and a rat in my bedroom scratching my backpack and trying to get to my snacks all night long. The rat also chewed through my pants' pocket. You just can't have any food in the cabana. There was another creature on top of my bed frame crawling and making noises all night too - it might have been an iguana. Howling monkeys were very loud in the morning. I get that we're in the middle of the jungle, but that was just too much for me. I tried to turn the fan on to hide all the creatures' noises, but the fan is really old and louder than a train. The place has a restaurant. It's nice when you don't rent an ATV or motorcycle and are kinda stuck there in the evening, but the quality is average and everything is a bit overpriced. There are much better food options in Balgue if you can get to them. I hope the new owners make some upgrades. This place could be so much better!

The most beautiful spot we have ever stayed. So peaceful, and the view is magical. The staff is so friendly and nice (they setup our ferry ride back for us) and food was amazing. I love how eco-friendly the resort is and it shows how much they care. The only downside is the road in to the resort is very difficult. You definitely need a vehicle and it would be better to have a truck. But definitely the most beautiful place we have ever stayed

Mosquito nets torn and duct taped. Cockroaches fell on bed in middle of the night. Bugs!

Would highly recommend totoco ecolodge to anyone staying on Ometepe. View from our cabin was the best views we saw on the island.

Beautiful eco hostel very remote. Staff is wonderful: Alex, Tanya & Miguel amazing. Not hostels fault but didn’t have any hydro for my two night stay- which was inconvenient with no lights and nothing to do but go to sleep when it got dark out. Also became inconvenient because couldn’t charge phone. This place could be so great if there was a back up energy system, maybe a bartender on duty and more cocktail selection, and more of a vibe going on (very quiet nothing to do pool was even closed for maintenance and looked quite deserted and unused when I was there). Also very hard to get to the lodge 20 min walk up and down in the pitch dark kind of limits you to staying at the hostel at night unless you feel comfortable doing the trek in the pitch dark which I didn’t as a solo female traveler. First hot shower in nicaragua and beautiful view or conception volcano / peaceful and wonderful staff were the perks. Gracias!

Before you go understand that this lodge is way up a dirt road that we used an atv to get up but can be reached by regular 4x4. When you get there the views are beautiful and it’s very peaceful. Staff is very friendly. Pool isn’t the cleanest and quite cold. Power went out quite often but there was always hot water. Rooms were very clean but Lots of bugs in the rooms ; probably because you’re in the middle of the jungle. Can hear the monkeys and see them if you take a walk. Free breakfast was amazing. You get a choice of a few options. Overall not a bad stay.

The view is stunning but it is the only reason to stay. I do understand the concept of ecolodge but taking a cold shower outside when it is rainy and windy is not appreciable, especially when you pay that price. Nobody told us that the road is extremely complicated to access, with no 4x4 or ATV you just cannot go up the 1.5 km to the lodge. We wanted to get a cocktail, they have a list of 10 and 6 were not available. Breakfast were not extraordinary. We did not eat there. Also you need to know that 15% will be charged on top of your bill at check out. Another bad surprise! Go for the view, but do not stay more than a night! We staid 3 and regretted it.
