Located in Moyogalpa, Rancho Tranquillo offers beachfront accommodation 34 km from Maderas Volcano and provides various facilities, such as a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi and a tour desk are featured.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All units at Rancho Tranquillo are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. I had the best time with Tony and Daniela, they were very kind, welcoming and warm. They make you feel part of their family and have so many stories to tell. Daniela makes THE BEST breakfasts (I miss them). If I go back to Ometepe I'm definitely staying with them again. The room was nice and clean and at night you can hear a symphony of crickets and other elements of nature due to being away from the city. A really nice experience. Also, there's a beach right outside the hostel where you can see the most beautiful sunsets. It's a bit far from the center of the town (a 20 min walk) which is not too bad, just something to take into consideration. If you're renting a bike like most people do it's not going to make a difference for you, but I was on foot. Fortunately, Tony was very kind and picked me up on a motorbike at the port and took me back at the end of my stay.

The design is quirky, using eco materials, and everything was well thought through. We were shocked to have our first warm shower! Breakfast was well priced. The bed was comfy. We loved our stay!

Set in Popoyo, a few steps from Popoyo Beach, Marumar offers accommodation with a garden and free private parking.

Certain rooms also offer a kitchen with a fridge and a microwave.

Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport is 97 km from the property. Super chill spot close to the ocean and the owner Rafa is a great guy. There are many spots to chill out around the hostel as there is lots of space(good if you want to work remotely). The ktchen is decent for a hostel and nothing to complain about the rooms.if you like chill spots, this is the place to stay!(But also made many friends there in my stay)

Located in San Juan del Sur, 300 metres from Marsella Beach, Hostal Villas Mexico provides accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features karaoke and a 24-hour front desk.

Buffet and continental breakfast options are available at the hostel. We booked with Hostal Villas Mexico because it was budget friendly and close to Maderas. At first we felt a little out of place because no one spoke a lick on English and there were no other English speaking travellers there either, but as we were exploring the place a couple of ladies who work there introduced them selves and took the time to show us around and patiently dealt with our bad Spanish as we tried to communicate how appreciative we were that they were showing us the beautiful land. Apart from the free breakfast and coffee they had already made us, they also made us the most delicious fried fish rice and chips for lunch, and invited us for dinner! They were so accommodating lovely and sweet! I sadly can’t remember all their names…. Maria, Janet? I think haha And…. Gosh I don’t remember but three main ladies seem to run the joint and they are awesome! We joked around, got hugs, and it ended up being a very lovely stay. Cabana #2 was sooo clean, had a mini fridge, air conditioning, super comfy bed, tv with cable with lots of movies you can swap to English, Clean ensuite that provided plenty of TP, clean towels soap and shampoo. We Felt super safe and secure, as there is security at the front gate, and again breakfast, coffee and packed lunch included (though we had ours there) it was great! Very quiet and chill and surrounded by lots of trees and plants and they are adding more diversity and plants all around, can’t wait to revisit in 10 years to see how it looks! Super super close to marsella and 5 minute Moto ride to Maderas.

Excellent value for the price, would definitely stay again!
