    We had a fantastic stay at El Bamboo. The cabin was better than we imagined - it had everything we needed, was well laid out and very comfortable. Our hosts Che and Indira were welcoming and their communication was great. The location is perfect...

    Everything was amazing. I had a two story bamboo hut that was just breathtaking, right on the water, hearing waves crash beneath me. The interior was far beyond my expectations. Nice finished wood, a couple fans, hot water, multiple outlets,...

    Great location in Balgue. Host Che is very kind and interesting to talk to. The property and rooms are very unique. He has done a beautiful job. You are inside and have all the amenities you need but feel like you are also outside. Breeze off lake...

    Very unique place! We spent 5 days here and It was wonderful to sleep with sounds of crashing waves. Very close to restaurants. We didn’t have any issues with insects (there is a net over the bed) but geckos come out especially at night and make...

    We absolutely loved staying here! The pictures do not do this place justice. The cabins are carefully built, very clean, and very comfortable! They are equipped with the necessities so we could cook and make coffee. It is right on the water and we...

    The place is amazing. We meet Che, the designer and builder. We were so impressed by the structure. We only stayed one night so were unable to spend much time.

Company info

I am Che, I have been living in Nicaragua for a little more than a decade, Ometepe Island caught me for the first time, its beauty, nature, vibrant colors, the majesty of its volcanoes, and the freshness of the lake, are the perfect combination. One of my passions has always been photography and this is an exceptional place to do it. I love to enjoy a glass of wine or a cold beer from the dock on the beach overlooking the Concepción Volcano. I also enjoy walks with my two great companions, my dogs Joyce and Perro.

Property info

Why stay at El Bamboo Cabins? Because it is one of the few places to stay in front of the beach. The constructions not only use some recycled materials, but we mix harmoniously materials from the island in combination with other modern ones, which give it a traditional esthetic with a good level of comfort. Because the cabins are made by ourselves. Because we do it with love for what we do and with love for nature. Because we are proud of the little paradise we are building for you and for us.
