Wonderful apartment with comfortable bed and pillows , nice kitchen well equipped, nice bathroom with 2 showers

we absolutely loved our time at Ananda guesthouse. Our room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The shower was divine. The shared kitchen facilities were great and the views from the lawn area are wonderful. Would definitely recommend staying here if you stay on Balgue.

Nothing. Also the road is not bad at all to ride up on a scooter if you have experience.

Absolutely stunning views. Very comfortable room. Great staff. Luxury lodging at affordable prices.

Not a problem for us, but you might need 4x4 to get to the property. Unless you are staying in and cooking, you will need to walk or drive to get food.

I honestly don’t think the pictures of the property do it justice. It is STUNNING! beautifully landscaped and designed with modern features and lots of beautiful plants. not to mention the incredible view and lovely garden. The rooms were spotless and there was a thorough turnover service every day. Breakfast was delicious and staff were so accommodating in helping us book ATV hire, transport and other activities.

The road up to the property is dark at night. I personally wouldn’t have walked it at night.

We absolutely loved our time at Ananda Guest House, so much so we stay an extra night. The room was clean, very comfortable and had such a lovely view of Concépcion. The communal kitchen is well equipped and clean and a nice space to cook in. The bathroom is well made up and the shower was excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. Would definitely recommend Ananda’s. The road to Anada’s isn’t too bad at all on a scooter. We made it up and down a few times (day and night) with no issues.

Amazing location, beautiful room, friendly staff. The balcony and gardens were exceptional, definitely the best place to stay in Ometepe.

Getting around the island is very difficult. Make sure you have pre-booked a taxi or have your own transport.

very spacious ,comfortable and clean room, extremely beautiful view especially for sunset. friendly staff.

the property is located on a hill which is about 15min walk down a road without light and lot of dogs, not the best feeling when walking this in the dark. as a result of location a bit expensive in our opinion.

such a wonderful, peaceful stay! like a luxury California beach house in the jungle. Miguel was super friendly and helpful. The dogs are great, Alfa walked with me for 3 hours on a hike nearby.

only problem is the road - it’s really difficult on a scooter, so you need either a bike or to pay a lot more for an atv/car. the owners were kind enough to help me get my backpack up the dirt track as I couldn’t manage it on a scooter. You could also hear music from nearby until late on Saturday night, but I think everywhere locally would have this problem. it didn’t keep me awake.

amazing view in a lush serene location very nice room with porch and hammock to relax in

bathroom had ants, frogs and a scorpion at times thorough out our stay very undeveloped bumpy road leading up to property no air conditioning

it couldn’t be better! great place, great view, very nice staff, and the area is fun to explore.

Ananda Guesthouse is a luxurious stay on Ometepe! Located someways up a dirt road off the main street, it's a private, modern house. Our taxi (a regular sedan) had no trouble with access - and even though we were not brave enough to, several other people staying there rode motorbikes up to it. It feels very safe, as does island in general. The suite is spacious with a full kitchen and comfy couches. The best part is the balcony, which has a beautiful view of the grounds and the volcano. There's a hammock where you can lay out, or you can just lay on the ground and look up at the stars at night. We heard many birds and even howler monkeys during our stay. While there is no air conditioning, the fans in both rooms work well enough we didn't feel we missed it - and there were flush toilets. We had no issues with the WiFi - it seemed plenty fast. Our hosts and the staff were friendly and helped arrange all of the activities and transportation we wanted. We even got pizza delivered. It was also nice to have the option of breakfast at the guesthouse. We loved staying in Balgue and would recommend this spot for anybody who visits Ometepe.

Not a true downside - but be aware you are in the jungle(ish) and there are bugs and geckos about. Everything was very clean, just part of being in nature.

A good location with small shops and restaurants at the bottom of the road. A spacious apartment in a great modern house. Full kitchen facilities and wifi connection were ideal and made our stay much easier, also a great view and we could enjoy our meals on the spacious balcony or relax in the hammock, or on the comfy sofas.

Only possible improvement would be a TV.

I like the comfort the quite space the view the cleanliness the staff

The road to get there after you leave the main highway was difficult when driving a small vehicle, not bad but just a bit unexpected. I hope they can fix it for my next visit.

Beautiful setting Great architecture and build of Ananda Great rooms, comfortable, large beds Wonderful staff Great breakfast Easy walk to town for restaurants

Everything was perfect!

Everything is beautiful and clean and there's just absolutely nothing to worry about

I loved everything

Stunning apartments and amazing views..spotless facilities. Wow what a place!

The drive is only for a 4x4. We were going by taxi and we couldn't get a lift out of the guesthouse! Had to walk.

Views, comfort, great staff, adorable dogs (Alpha and Osa)

The guesthouse was located in a peaceful environment in the jungle. We could spot some wildlife very nearby. The views from the rooms are towards the gorgeous Concepcion volcano. The room was spacious, clean, modern and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay here.

The road to the property is quite hard to walk on and it’s little uphill but the views make up for it.

Great apartment with amazing views from the balcony. Fast WiFi. Very good breakfast available served on the balcony. Hosts were very helpful in arranging taxi transfers and ATV rental.

Location is perfect, great view of the volcano, amazing garden. Lots of birds and howler monkeys. Miguel and his brother were very helpful and nice. Local breakfast prepared just for us by amazing señoras! If you are looking for quite spot with lots of nature this is the place to be.

Super helpful staff, very quiet and peaceful location with a great view of the Lake and the Volcano. Rooms are spacious, well decorated and gorgeous, cross breeze from the lake into the bedroom and bathroom was superb. Big powerful fan made.sure room was very cool and comfortable to sleep in. Large king size bed, nice desk by the window, walk in closet and lots of storage space. Clean and spacious shared kitchen. Location is great with tons of farm to table and organic restaurants around. We would definitely stay there again if we are back on the island. Make sure you have a high vehicle as the road is bumpy on the 5 min ride from the main road to the hotel.

We stayed in the top floor apartment which has a huge deck with a hammock and the most amazing view of the volcano. The apartment kitchen was really well equipped. The two dogs accompanied us everywhere which was so cute! We enjoyed our stay a lot!

The road up to the property is BAD and you are quite a long way from anywhere. Neighbours were smoking unfortunately and the smell was wafting onto our deck making it a bit unpleasant at times. Other than checking in we didn’t see any staff - no cleaning. Also we had to pay cash but got charged a bad exchange rate for paying in local currency?! We messaged to find out about the bus times and were given incorrect information which resulted in a nervous hour standing in the side of the road. The power surges quite a bit so be careful and don’t leave things plugged in. The lamp in the lounge didn’t work and the insect screens are a bit broken in places.

everything is really clean and nice!

the way to the guesthouse is really bumpy

The apartment was lovely, fully equipped, clean and comfortable. Amazing view and garden. The staff was very nice and helpful.

The road to the house was not the best.

Beautiful scenery Clean Great facilities Nice restaurants nearby Good location Helpful staff Cute dogs 🤩

Not much in walking distance, you need a scooter, or car etc.
