Superb assistance and engagement with the passionate maker and owner of El Bamboo. Meeting someone that really cares about their work and their property is always a joy. Two minute walk to beach with amazing volcano view, especially at sunset

Everything was great- just be aware of transport limitations and get creative with how you get around and you will love it!

The location is incredible - a hand constructed bamboo cabin on the lake in a verdant jungle on a magical island. This was by far my favorite place we traveled in Nicaragua. Che was welcoming, kind, helpful, responsive and so positive. Loved our stay!

The bugs, but that wasn't at all a result of the cabin or accommodations - it's part of navigating Central America. Bring bug spray.

Really cool unique stay in the trees ! Che was so kind and handy telling us everything we needed to know for the island even bringing us his own freshly roasted coffee from his farm !

Beautiful handmade cabins. Very peaceful. Amazing garden full of produce to use. Che and his staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Loved our stay at El Bamboo! The apartment is super unique. It’s equipped with everything you need, including a kitchen. Che is super friendly and helpful, he can assist with anything you need.

Nothing, it was great.

Unique property, kind owner, great location, close to trendy restaurants, good recommendations, lake view, not too hot since the apartments get a fresh breeze from the lake :)

- beautifully built large self contained bamboo cabana - great personal kitchen - hot water - clean - wonderfully cool compared to other non a/c accom on the island as it is close to the lake and designed to utilise the wind - shared hammock area to chill - good view of sunset - lovely and helpful host - close to local restaurants and shops

- everything was perfect for us as we are modest budget travellers.

Beautiful handmade cabins, very impressive work. Quiet at night. Good location in Balgüe!

Needs places outside where you can sit & relax and enjoy the scenery and the property itself. So beautiful but no seats anywhere outside & the beach is too rocky to lay a towel down

We loved everything about El Bamboo cabins.. Che was a lovely & friendly host and made us feel really welcome. He is so passionate about Ometepe and its beautiful nature. His enthusiasm is contagious. The cabin was amazing. We only stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed forever. It is right on the lake and is so tranquil, you really feel like you are living amongst nature but with a comfortable place to sleep and relax. It truly is a little piece of paradise. Thank you Che for making our stay one of the most memorable in a 7 month trip

Everything was perfect. There was nothing not to like.

Che, the host, was super kind and helpful at any time!

Fantastic location. Che is a really nice guy and has designed the cabins beautifully. Good storage and lots of hooks to hang things. Excellent Wi-Fi and hot water shower was a real plus.

The crockery was a bit dirty but I put this down to the previous guests putting it away like that.

The location was great, Che the host was very accommodating and very helpful, showing where to pick herbs and fruit from his garden. The hut itself is amazing, incredibly built right at the edge of the lake with an amazing view. Highly recommended.

Very special accommodation. Che the owner has built all of the cabins and they are amazing. Intuitively designed using natural materials.

Buildings were enjoyable for their design and engineering. Everything you needed in the kitchen was available, which was a nice surprise.

Everything was great.

beautiful cabins and nice little garden, Che the host is a wonderful happy person! absolutely great!

Che is so helpful and friendly and has created a relaxing and peaceful place for his guests. I look forward to visiting again one day.

Che, what an incredibly nice person. He is really helpful, enthusiastic and warm. You can tell this is his passion. He helped us with arranging scooters, busses en taxis all over Nicaragua. Great stay!

the huts are fantastic & close to the water. everything you need is here & it is so peaceful.

che is a great host . if you don’t have a back pack I don’t recommend this place however . I broke my bag on the dirt road down . but the accomodation is amazing . perfect for a long term stay

it’s down a beaten track

Che is amazing, super helpful. The cabin was great, really comfortable and set up well. The WiFi was also really good. Balgue is a great little village.

They had hot showers

The road to get to the property lol you need a quad or bike
