About

Hostel Los Chocoyos is literally only a few meters away from the lake - with our own semi private beach - with clear water - soft pebble sand to really enjoy a swim in the warm waters of Lake Cocibolca.  Our hospedaje is home to the Ometepe SUP Club - the islands first and only dedicated standup paddleboard company to offer tours north and south of our central location in the village of Merida.

For more information on Ometepe SUP Club - visit this link - https://OmetepeSUP.Club

The Ometepe SUP Club offers an open to the public daily Breakfast SUP Club - Sunset Pub Paddle and SUP lessons for children, teens and adults - as well as special events and fun races throughout the high tourist season.  Kayaks are also available for those who prefer kayaks over SUP - we have you covered!

Hospedaje Chocoyos is known for its close proximity to the lake - where local fishermen provide for their families and restaurants in the area.  We are located in the heart of the village of Merida - home to a unique collection of restaurants, bars, hotels, hostels, resorts, shops and services.  

We also have a close affiliation with Ometepe Exploring - a tour guide company that specializes in hiking the Maderas Volcano - Ometepe Exploring can also provide horseback riding adventures, fishing tours, waterfall hikes, farm tours and bird watching tours in their suite of tourism related services and guided trips.

Our restaurant specializes in a breakfast menu that is open from 7am to 10am daily.  The menu has many of the familiar local dishes you will find in Nicaragua.  Our bar has cold drinks, cervezas and all the fresh fruit drinks you wish to enjoy from the fruits of the island.

The accommodations are clean, simple rooms with thick comfortable mattresses that you can relax after a long journey to the island or after one of the many excursions you find yourself participating in while you stay with us.  All rooms are equipped with fans and high speed - solar powered - internet to make your stay more pleasant.

Whether you want to relax watching the legendary Ometepe sunsets or bathe in the warm waters of Lake Cocibolca we have comfortable chairs and hammocks to pass the time.  In the evening we have a selection of board games - a music system - and a large screen television for sports or movies to enjoy under the stars of beautiful Ometepe.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us on our beautiful island - come stay, play & paddle with us!

I really want to rate this place higher as it's a beautiful location, and the family that run it are really sweet (and seem to include LGBTQ members which I think it important to support round here). It's pretty far out the way, so requires a scooter or a $20 taxi, and is VERY rustic. That definitely has its charms, but the bathroom situation was untenable for me - the first two attempts to use the toilets didn't flush, and the first shower didn't drain well. Couldn't hack more than two nights.

We were very unsure what to expect from this hostel at first but we loved our time here. The facilities are kept very easy so don’t expect any luxury but for us it was great. The outside area was very nice and you can watch the beautiful sunset when you’re sitting in hanging mats or a swing. The hostel is very small so it’s not very social but there is a very chill atmosphere. The owners were very nice and got us a scooter. Having the right expectation you can have a great stay in this hostel!
