A spider monkey getting ready to catch a lime that was tossed to him.

The monkeys live on the islands within Lake Nicaragua. We were told that the monkeys like limes, so we tossed and handed cut limes to the monkeys. They squeezed the limes in their mouths and then rubbed the limes all over their bodies. They find it refreshing and they like the smell.

"We had a lovely stay in Selvista! The location was perfect, close to so many great activities on Ometepe. The property itself is beautiful, with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Everything was clean and well taken care of, and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The food was also really good, we felt well taken care of the whole time. Definitely a spot we’d recommend to anyone visiting the island!"

We were greeted by someone that spoke no english which was quite uneasy seeing as how we just arrived on the island at 6pm (sunset) and wanted to familiarize ourselves with the space. Instead as the sun went down, we were greeted by a guy with a flashlight which seemed to be telling us he was the night guard and told us to yell his name if we heard anything.

Hotel El Reith Lake Granada Nicaragua

6/10 Okay

"I am giving three stars because I expected more from the presidential room we paid for. While the staff were welcoming and helpful, the hotel itself left much to be desired. A major issue was the lack of hot water for showers, which is unacceptable considering the price of the presidential suite. Additionally, there were very few amenities included for example, the boat ride was not part of the package, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the food was excellent, and the views were truly spectacular. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I do not plan to return."
