We absolutely loved staying at Rancho Tranquillo. It is right across the lake so you can enjoy swimming and the sunsets. Daniella & Tony are very welcoming and friendly. We had a very delicious breakfast made by Daniella. Their property is also so great, there are all types of animals running around and you can pick fresh mangoes from their mango tree. They were also kind enough to let us leave some of our luggage so that we could rent a scooter more easily and travel around the island.

Also called us a taxi which whose driver super friendly and cheap. see you soon

Place was very nice. Super quiet. The kitchen is very comfortable for cooking. Staff was very helpful, letting me know of places and activities that were happening during the week. The beach is close by and super big. I did the boat trip to Lances left which I super recommend. Very long and constant waves. It was one of my favorite spots 🙂

This hostel was my favorite during my time in Nicaragua! The staff and volunteers were super nice. The common areas are really nice, relaxing and good for meeting people and hanging out at night. They organize daily events making it easier to meet people as a solo traveler. Options for surfing were easily available as well.

The most wonderful and magical place to stay on the island if you are a nature lover. The place is great, in the middle of the jungle, the staff are wonderful, food is so tasty. They organise daily activities such as yoga, cacao ceremonies, permaculture tour etc. It’s a eco sustainable place, japanease showers, and know that you are surrounded by nature, so it is what it is, if you look for a fancy place it’s not here, but if you look for authenticity, to learn from Chris the owner who is super knowledgeable and grow everything here, it’s the place. Great vibe! Beds are confortable and clean- they have muskito nets you have to use :-) I highly recommend, and I am definitely coming

Learned this was one of the original hostels on Ometepe. Breakfasts and dinners were freshly prepared with local ingredients. Their dogs and cats were very nice to spend time with. The hosts can lease scooters and deliver them for competitive prices. Communication with host prior to and during stay was excellent.

Everything! Best hostel we’ve stayed at yet, 10/10 for location, the views are incredible. 10/10 for staff and atomasphere, everyone is so friendly and the vibe is so relaxing and chilled. They also had some great surf boards to rent and without a doubt one of the best fish curries I’ve ever had, the food is amazing and reasonably priced. We loved it here and miss it already. Thank you Monkey House for a great week.
