The volunteer Magdalena made a really good job, i felt so comfortable and because of her we had some funny activities in the night with the other guests. Thanks for the great time In el paradiso!!

The beds and rooms were nice and comfortable. However, although we had fans, the room was hot at night. Not a big deal but worth mentioning for full disclosure.

The location and view at the Hostel is hard to beat. It was great to wake up and see the laguna and eat breakfast with this amazing view. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the water.

This was my first experience with a hostel, so this could be normal, but the rooms were very basic. For our family of 5, we only had 2 towels to use for the whole stay. There was no soap, shampoo, washcloths, etc. We figured out a way and it was fine, but just think it's important to know these things before you arrive.

The food was excellent. The staff was great. The views are AMAZING. The lake water is warm and perfect for swimming. Kayaks were fun. the kids loved the floating dock. We had one drunk guy using the area as a day use. He came over to our table and was acting angrily. The staff quickly helped him leave the property. They care about your experience. Everything about the experience was great.

No wifi/internet signal from the room I stayed in, which was only inconvenient because I work online and we had Hurricane Julia rain for 24 hours.

Everything! Such a well thought out lakeside resort. Great spaces for relaxing, working and enjoying the great food overlooking the lake. Lovely helpful staff. I was sad to leave and wish I’d booked for longer than 3 nights!

Peaceful location

Dog and cats lurking for your food at the restaurant. Slow service (more than 40' waiting sometimes). Dog destroying m'y shoes on thé Beach.

Amazing place ! WE stayed for 3 nights Instead of One. Real Paradise!

Great place to spend a night - lovely spot right on the lake. Facilities clean and staff all friendly and welcoming. The water is nice and there are free kayaks to take out. Food and drinks all really good!

Stayed in June 2022

The food in the restaurant was alright but could be a bit cheaper for this quality.

Paradiso is a perfect spot if you want to relax for a couple of days. Located right on the lagoon with a beautiful view from the restaurant. A big plus is the free use of kayaks and sunbeds.

Stayed in May 2022

Food is decent but not local and a bit on the pricey side compared to local. (Still very affordable though.) Towels are for rent. (Would rather they just add it in the room price.) Staff professional but not overly friendly.

Beautiful environment to relax in. Kayaks and inner tubes, pool table, ping pong, etc for amusement. Social but not a party. Spacious, clean dorms with beautiful bathrooms, personal lockers, fans and lights.

Room conditions (room space, ventilation, comfort of beds) and shower do not match the price

Nothing!

We loved everything about our stay here. The place is more like a small hotel than a hostel but has everything you need. the food was great and they make it super easy to book and tours or activities. We loved the free kayaks!

Stayed in April 2022

the only „negative“ thing is that there is no kitchen to use but the food there is excellent although it’s quite expensive for Nicaragua

it’s the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed in! the location ist incredible

Stayed in May 2022

At checkout they charged the room plus 10 % service charge (tip, like on a restaurant bill) and that is not ok. Unfortunately I didn't see that directly and couldn't correct that.

Top and I got a free upgrade to private bath.

Nothing, everything was really great

I loved everything about this place :) A calm and fun place to watch sunsets, excellent staffand and very tasty food. I finished my trip there so it was a perfect end to my journey, and I met amazing friends there.

Would be nice a coffee machine in room Our location peoples was working on the terrace outside and AC was as leaking outside in our path way

Easy access to the lake and chair available on the lake

Stayed in February 2025

we were in a room that was not renovated. We paid extra to have a cot in the room for a third person and they provided us with a tiny fold over couch. There was hard buttons on it and a huge, hard seam. Our room was surrounded by ants and It was basically in the parking lot surrounded by garbage. We went and visited our other party members in their rooms thinking it would be the same and they beautiful, clean, comfortable rooms. And they paid less than us! Not happy.

The beach is beautiful and the food was decent. Half of the resort has been upgraded and renovated.

Stayed in January 2025

Food options were a bit expensive but ok.

The staff were friendly and the rooms clean. Had free kayaks and paddleboards.

Stayed in January 2025

A lot of bugs in the room by the bed so not that nice to sleep. Expensive food

The free use of the water equipment, clean toilets, nice common area

Stayed in February 2025

Lots of people come just for a day with a day pass and it becomes very busy and less restful. We booked a private room and it was right by the road- we could hear the cars at night and I had thought it would be away from the city noise. Our room also did not have an outdoor area (some of the other units had a little table and chairs) and no windows- only tiny tinted ones that we couldn't even see out of. Our door led to the parking lot essentially - for the price that we paid, it was way too overpriced!

Beautiful location! The lake is gorgeous and it's very relaxing. Great swimming and kayaking.

Stayed in January 2025

It’s very remote. Unless you have a car you aren’t going far. There’s not much to do there so swimming for a day is fine. There are tons of people who spend the day (day pass) and then leave - so keep that in mind if you don’t get a private bathroom as they are using the shared ones. When no day guests are there the place is nice to enjoy but when it’s packed..not so much.

If you want to swim in the Laguna it’s a great space. Food was not bad either. Staff was very nice
