    This hotel is the only fancy hotel on little corn island located on Otto beach side. If you like to go to town center, you have to order water taxi cost $10 per person. The room and the view is beautiful. Service is great. The restaurant is kind of pricey for its food, but next to it has a great bar and restaurant. Definitely will recommend it.

    Honestly, everything about the hotel and stay itself was great! For people traveling here, you should know it’s a very long travel day lol so be prepared for that! But once you arrive it’s well worth the journey!

    Everything was perfect for our stay at Yemaya! The room was gorgeous and right on the beach! Carlos and Octavio were so kind and attentive, we felt right at home the entire time. The staff as a whole was so friendly and helpful. Every meal we had was delicious and great drinks as well! Will definitely be coming back here!

    Although the restaurant staff was wonderful, some of the food fell short.

    The staff treated us like family. The rooms are perfectly located off of a beautiful beach. Our stay was the best combination of getting alone time and enjoying the perks of Yemaya.

    Quite an expedition getting there from mainland Nicaragua - we flew from Managua to Big Corn and the private Yemaya boat picked us up - it was quite a turbulent ride over (& could be scary for someone not used to boats).

    Location was beautiful, right on the beachfront! Food was excellent, a different Menu feature every night. My partner and I enjoyed a private beach bonfire & dinner the team setup. Went scuba diving nearby, but they have yoga in the mornings, snorkels and paddleboards available I believe. Water is spectacular, favorite dive spot I've ever been to.

    Poor value for money. Room tariffs are too high considering that everything is complimentary, starting from the breakfast that is almost 18 dollars whatever you choose to eat. Laundry service and transportation are extremely expensive too.

    The place and location do the job by themselves for how beautiful they are. You’ll be surrounded by silence and peace and will fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Rooms are huge and beds are extremely comfortable. The food served at the restaurant is delicious and you will always find vegetarian options. Staff is helpful and kind.

    The only reason we didnt give it a 10, but a 9, is because everything is sooo expensive. You still have to pay for all your food, nothing is included (except for the coconut welcomes drink). Laundry was sooo expensive; 70usd for around 8 pieces of clothing and 18 underpants. So if you stay here, you should know that :) it was still an amzing place other than this.

    Okay so we really really want to give this place a 10, because omg did we love it here! The food is aaaamazing, the service is super, the room was amazing, and woww the views from your room and the reef you can snorkle to yourself! Best place to stay on little corn!! On the last evening they even reserved the best spot in the restaurant for us and decorated it with a rose and other gorgeous flowers and when we came back to the room, our bed was covered in flowers, spelling Te Amo <3. Amazing!

    - given the high prices, they should offer free shuttle service to the center with their boat, since it's are a good 30 min walk away. - Bed is very soft - it's very expensive, but also very exclusive!

    a really perfect exclusive place to enjoy all the luxury you could expect on such a remote island! we purely loved it here! We wanted to get a rest from backpacking with a 6 month old baby and our little girl enjoyed the calm, the big room, the warm shower and the excellent infinity pool very very much! By the way: so did we! the rooms are beautiful, spacious, clean, the meals are very good, the view and beach are spectacular! the king size beds right out on the beach are super cool. all in all, of you can afford the prices, it's worth every cent!

    quite far away from other bars and restaurants.

    awesome little spot on the island! a great place to just relax and unwind from the chaos of Central America. The cabins are really nice and feel private. staff are lovely. we had a private pool but the main pool was lovely to laze around and swim in as well. some things are a little run down but you need to remember how isolated this place is and how hard it is to get new things delivered. you are a little more isolated in this accommodation as it’s about half hour walk to town to bars and restaurants however you can get a water taxi from the hotels. highly recommend going with the hotels airport shuttle rather than the public one. it’s much more efficient and nicer boat for only $10US more. Fry fish bar next door was good for cheap cocktails.

    We did not receive a welcome chat about the hotel/facilities, we noticed that this happened to some guests later in the week and wished that we had the same service. The restaurant staff could have been better at communicating the menu, there were so many ingredients that were not available or missing which came to a huge disappointment when we received it especially when you are paying higher costs for each meal and there is nowhere else that you can eat on that part of the island. I think this could have easily been dealt with if they told us upfront, just to manage all expectations instead of getting a meal you did not order, or replacement ingredients that we were not informed about. This was for every meal we had which eventually got quite tiring by the end of our stay.

    The location was great, very remote and beautiful. The rooms were a great size and the bathroom was spacious too. We really appreciated the private transfer service and was very happy to be greeted with a cold coconut upon arrival after the long journey. The grounds itself was lovely and we were very happy with the beach workout and yoga which we did have to pay additionally for, but it was worth it.
