Incredible views in a serene location

Wonderful view. Beautiful room. Incredibly clean. Very helpful staff. Nice outdoor shower with hot water during the day. Friendly dogs.

I would 100% recommend staying here!

The location was great, with a fantastic view. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The grounds were stunning. The finishes and decorating were high end. The kitchen and bathroom were beautiful. We will absolutely be coming back.

My only small complaint is the bed (mattress) was more firm than I prefer. A foam mattress topper would make it perfect! I will still be back!

Amazing apartment, everything we needed. Great location and helpful staff. We’d highly recommend! Thank you!

Great location as could walk down to Balgue for supper or breakfast. Also had the option to walk up to Totoco. Super nice apartment, spacious and lovely finish, comfy bed, wonderful view. Really helpful staff assisted us with breakfast, ATV hire and taxis to the ferry.

Loved staying her overall, only slightly negative thing is a lack of privacy on the first floor room. It’s is wonderful

Loved this beautiful, secluded little guest house. Amazing views, wonderful staff and pets to keep you company.

The road leading to the property is a little difficult to navigate. I recommend renting an ATV to make it easier.

Comfortable with a nice volcano view

Nice, clean and spacious appartement. The highlight is undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the volcano and we loved their two dogs that walked with us out every time we left the appartement. Also the breakfast was nice, with many options.

In the evening it gets quite dark there, so as of 18hrs we didn’t leave the property anymore. In addition, make sure not to arrange other facilities such as taxi and scooter through the appartement, as they offered quite high rates. For example for a scooter they offered $25, however we were able to rent this outside of the place for $15 and even a big scooter we rented for $20, the same for a taxi.

Superb

Very spacious room, amazing garden. Room was cleaned daily. The view is spectacular.

Nothing but be aware that the road to get there is challenging because of the rocks. You would need a 4x4 or an ATV. I’d only recommend a motorcycle if you are an experienced driver.

An incredible place in Balgue

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.

super luxurious, yet affordable rooms with one of the best views you could ask for.

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.

Incredible stay. Would recommend to anyone!

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.

Excellent

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.

nice rooms, location bit off.

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.

slice of paradise

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.

A luxurious and relaxing stay with plenty to do

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.

Lovely relaxing stay in a great house and breathtaking view.

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.

Clean, modern and comfortable room with nice views!

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.

Exceptional

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.

Wonderful but needs a bit of TLC

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.
