El Pital Chocolate Paradise

After seeing the many online reviews listing El Pital as a must for visitors to Ometepe, I was unfortunately disappointed by my stay. The location allows for easy swims, room was clean, & the staff were friendly. However, prices are very high, chocolate was overrated (sour), no hangout areas for guests & for the conscious traveller, El Pital is Israeli-owned and frequented, with no indication of opposing the ongoing geno… For the money, there are better options (Urraca Loca, Café Campestre)

Really nice hostel, only thing was the driveway/walk to the hostel was really long with no lighting which was a bit of a concern being solo. The toilets were always very clean however the showers could be better maintained. I only tried the chocolate passionfruit cheesecake at the restaurant which came out almost frozen solid. Staff really helpful, beds comfy. Could do with aircon

So this was a really nice stay but it wasn’t hostel like at all, like it felt way more like a resort with older families and people, so I would recommend to go for a little to chill but don’t expect the hangout typical for a hostel.
