“Very pleasant, clean and fun stay. Very clean and beautiful property.”
It was very clean and they have a lot of beautiful plants and fruits. They have a restaurant with tasty food. The owner is really kind and tells you a lot of interesting facts about Nicaragua and the plants. There is also a beautiful beach nearby as well as a bus stop.

“Charming, clean & great value stay”
Mey and her Mum were amazing host. They made such an effort to give advice, arrange transport and prepare delicious food. There is a charming garden, cute dogs and everything is immaculate.

A home away from home! Very well located in a quiet area, but central to the main attractions of both vulcanoislands... It is a small family homestay, with a beautiful garden and very friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts. Everything is very clean and they offer a good breakfast and also other meals. A great place to stay - highly recommended!

“Warm and personal guesthouse in a quiet, paradise-like garden”
From the very first moment we felt welcome. We arrived early in the morning, but were immediately able to sit down, relax, and feel at ease. A delicious breakfast was prepared for us right away: fresh and completely vegan. Our little house is cozy and exceptionally clean. The beds are comfortable; the mattress is new, good quality, and well maintained. Thanks to a good fan, we slept well. The room is thoroughly cleaned and feels fresh. There is no hot water available. The garden is beautiful and very well maintained. Mango, papaya, and banana trees are everywhere—it truly feels like a small paradise. The house has a lovely hammock, and the place is remarkably quiet: no traffic, no music, no noise. What really makes this place special are the people. Meylin and her mother do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. We had breakfast here several times and also dinner in the evenings. Everything is prepared with love: fresh, tasty, and generous. This is a fantastic place. The word hostel doesn’t really do it justice; it feels much more like a warm and personal guesthouse. A perfect place to slow down and relax, and somewhere we would definitely return to when we are back on Ometepe.

“Very kind hostess, great facilities, good food, clean room”
We stayed here for four nights and had a really good experience. It’s a bit off-grid, but the neighborhood is very safe, and the hostess is incredibly kind! There were some ants in the room in the evening because they could come under the door, but they are working on that and it’s wasn’t really a bother because it’s not during the day or night. Our room had a fan and a private bathroom. We were also able to use the laundry area in the back. The food was delicious, we had both breakfast and dinner here, and it was very affordable and delicious. You can rent a scooter, but we got around by bus. The location is close to Charco Verde and Ojo de Agua, but quite far from Playa Mangos and El Pital. If you don’t want to rent a scooter like us, we’d recommend taking a tuk-tuk for those places. May (the hostess) even taught me some Spanish words and phrases and explained everything about the island. She is truly so sweet!

Great lonely host. Food was delicious and reasonable priced. Many different animals in the.garden. We rent a bike to explore the location, which is conveniently next to the port but far away from noisy overcrowded touristic vipes.. All ecological natural and clean....

“Excellent stay - amazing staff!”
I had a great time staying here. First, it was only a five minute walk from the San José del Sur ferry port and very easy to find. It was quaint and cosy, and the rooms had everything you need including a fan that kept me cool at night. The patio was nice and included rocking chairs to relax in, and it was peaceful at night with fairy lights in the garden. The food was delicious, very reasonably priced, and the staff was very accommodating to make a vegetarian menu for me. I also recommend the guided tour! For a fair price you get to choose 4 guided spots to visit in a day. Also a 25-ish minute walk from Charco Verde and easy to find. Well worth it! I would certainly come back here and had a wonderful time.
