Ananda -#2- King Room w porch & shared kitchen - Nature lodges for Rent in Balgue, Rivas, Nicaragua

Our stay at Ananda was perfect. The ladies for lunch, the night watchman and Novel for answering our questions and helping us plan our transportation or our activities. Clean, quiet place, a magnificent view of the volcano, a beautiful large bedroom and bathroom. In short, everything was perfect. We stayed 4 nights, and I would definitely go back.

Notre séjour à Ananda a été parfait. Les dames pour le déjeuner, le gardien de nuit et Novel pour répondre à nos questions et nous aider dans la planification de nos transports ou nos activités. Endroit propre, calme, une vue magnifique sur le volcan, une belle grande chambre et salle de bain. Bref tout était parfait. On est resté 4 nuits et j’y retournerais sans hésiter.

The place was nice, surrounded by flora and fauna. We loved it.

El lugar fue bonito, rodeado de flora y fauna. Nos encantó.

This place was heaven on earth. You can’t beat the views and it was lovely having hot water on the trip. Breakfast with a view was a highlight and Nolver was super helpful with setting up our scooter rental and taxi rides. This is the best place you can stay on the island.

the house is lovely and the view of the Vulcano amazing! 
the staff is super friendly and helpful. 
it was by far the most modern accommodation we had in Nicaragua. 

but you need to be aware, that the last ~700meter it the road are in a very bad shape. you can get there even with a scooter, but we decided for an atv.

summer restaurants deliver to your room, which is also really comfortable.

If I could give ten stars I would. Amazing communication, excellent location and an incredible value. We booked at the last minute in the middle of the night and the host was extremely communicative and helpful. Would Absolutely recommend !!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jonathan's. The place is beautiful, you can find peace and quiet here, a wonderful space with soul!

Bardzo podobał nam się pobyt u Jonathana. Miejsce jest przepiękne, można odnaleźć tu ciszę i spokój, cudowna przestrzeń z duszą!

We had a wonderful stay, location was great. Everyone very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

A dream location if you are looking for privacy and living in nature. Jonathan & his team are doing anything to make you feel comfortable. Extremely helpful and super friendly. Highly recommended - we hope to be back in the future.

The view and gardens is outstanding and we enjoyed the pups on the property. The staff was very attentive and the breakfast was yummy. They were able to arrange scooter rental direct so we could explore more of the island, but we found walking down the hill for food and supplies was sufficient most days. They also have food delivery available. Our unit had a shared kitchen which was also the kitchen that is used to prepare breakfast in the morning for guests. It can be loud with all the hard surfaces and if your fellow guests are late nighters or really early risers it can be loud. Overall we had a great stay and loved the area of Bulgue.

Amazing view and excellent staff. Would definitely stay there again.

I don’t even know where to start, this place may be mine & my partners favourite place we’ve ever stayed in 🥹. Beautiful, calm, peaceful… just, wonderful. Nolver & his team are fabulous and were so warm and welcoming when we arrived, Jonathan was also great with communication before we arrived! The bed is HUGE and so comfy, there’s no aircon but you don’t need it as the ceiling fan along with the open windows (with bug shields!) ensures the room stays the perfect temperature! The breakfasts are absolutely delicious, and you can enjoy on your own private porch where it is ready and waiting for you in the morning! Hot water!!! Which is an absolute luxury on the island! The room & bathroom are also beautifully decorated, which we loved! The garden is a beautiful oasis, we loved watching the monkeys in the afternoons, as well as the incredible view of the volcano 🌋🧡 10/10, can’t fault it at all - would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This home is situated in the best position on Ometepe. The pictures of the view does not do it justice! You won’t be disappointed. The staff are welcoming, the home is spotless and the breakfast is a must. The whole home is perfectly built for a wonderful stay, the friendly staff bring your breakfast to your own private porch area while you sit and watch the view of the Conception volcano. It is 100% worth climbing the Maderas volcano a short walk from the home (ask for Marvin!)

The place is very nice, in winter it shows the flora in all its splendor, the super pleasant climate. The room is very clean and very good service from the person who welcomed us. 100% recommended

El lugar es muy lindo, en invierno luce la flora en todo su esplendor, el clima súper agradable. La habitación muy limpia y muy buena atención de parte de la persona que nos recibió. Recomendado 100%

Such a beautiful view! Our stay was very brief but we enjoyed it. Everyone in the house was super attentive and kind. We got a lot of good recommendations. We appreciated our little quiet space with a hammock. For transportation to the place and island I suggest renting a moto/quad at the port to get around more easily!

Excellent place, I would definitely come back!

Excelente lugar, volvería definitivamente!

Beautiful location at the foot of Maderas volcano, with views of the jungle and Lake Cocibolca in the distance. Our room was very clean and spacious, but there were lots of bugs inside. Also, despite the presence of fans, it was quite hot at night. And bring earplugs, as we were woken up every morning at 5am by the howler monkeys! The kitchen was well-equipped and the staff was quite helpful. The accommodation is well located in Balguë, close enough to services and the delicious Cafe Campestre. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to Balguë but the road is not lit at all in the evening. Also, this small rock road to get there was very difficult to ride and ride down by scooter and would definitely require a motorcycle or a 4x4. We go there for the view, the kind and smiling staff and encouraging the ecological initiative of the place! We recommend it!

Emplacement magnifique au pied du volcan Maderas, avec vue sur la jungle et le lac Cocibolca au loin. Notre chambre était très propre et spacieuse, mais il y avait beaucoup d’insectes à l’intérieur. Aussi, malgré la présence de ventilateurs, il y faisait assez chaud la nuit. Et amenez des bouchons d’oreille, car nous nous sommes fait réveiller chaque matin à 5h par les singes hurleurs! La cuisine était bien équipée et le personnel assez aidant. Le logement est bien situé à Balguë, assez près des services et du délicieux Café Campestre. Cela prend environ 10-15 minutes à pied se rendre à Balguë mais la route n’est pas du tout éclairée le soir. Aussi, cette petite route de roches pour s’y rendre était très difficile à monter et descendre en scooter et nécessiterait définitivement une moto ou un 4x4. On y va pour la vue, le personnel gentil et souriant et encourager l’initiative écologique de l’endroit! On recommande!

Beautiful space and property! Staff on site was responsive, caring, and attentive to all needs! Arranged ATV used to explore island, which was perfect! Would definitely stay again!

it was really beautiful and we had a great time. The little improvement is that the ants came easily through the door. but that didn't make our stay any less with the great service including breakfast.

het was echt prachtig en we hebben het geweldig gehad enige kleine verbeterpuntje is dat de mieren makkelijk door de deur kwamen. maar dat maakte ons verblijf niet minder met de geweldige service waaronder ontbijt.

Very close attention in general, attentive , helpful and above all friendly.

Muy acradable la atención en general, atentos , serviciales y sobre todo amigables.

We adored our stay here and will 100% be back any time we are in Ometepe

Received very good recommendations for the activities. There was always a contact person on site

Haben sehr gute Empfehlungen für die Aktivitäten erhalten. Es war immer ein Ansprechpartner vor Ort

What a View!!! And such beautiful gardens! A real diamond in the rough! The staff working around site as the liaison and cooking and cleaning are all phenomenal! So kind and always happy. Great cooks!! The breakfasts were sensational! Very comfortable rooms! Side tip: there are taxis available and staff very keen to assist booking. We had rented our own ATV and that freedom to explore the island really made the trip for us. Appreciate the recommendation!

This was truly a peaceful and beautiful to stay at with my husband and one year old baby girl. We all had a good time there and the staff made us feel at home all the time. Only downside was the listing said to have reliable internet (satellite) and it was down the whole time we were there. You definitely need internet in Ometepe. Also, one day the electricity was on and off because of the wind and I was afraid our electronics would get damaged because of that.

Thank you for your review. We are delighted you enjoyed yourselves. Our internet provider of 6 years suddenly decided to stop covering our area. For the meanwhile we are providing LTE chips that provide internet connection and free local phone calls but we are happy to confirm we are in the process of getting a new fibre optic coonection that will provide 50MB. We anticipate this will be active within 2 weeks from today.

We really enjoyed our stay, the room was better than the pictures and the surrounding are beautiful. Breakfast was gorgeous and staff were so nice and friendly. The room was also super clean. Only downsides were we ordered breakfast which was included in the price for 7:30am as we needed to leave for 8:15am I went to check at 8am and they hadn’t started to make it therefore we had to leave with out, disappointed because it was so lovely. The track is not suitable for a moped and we had to fill our tyres with air after going up and down the lane. Other than that beautiful. Thank you

Our stay at Ananda guesthouse described in one word - simply beautiful ! The accomodation is so nice, the rooms are very clean (not much insects though it‘s next to a jungle area) and quite big with a very nice terrace and huge garden. We enjoyed the view with the volcano and the lake so much every day directly from the garden or from our private terrace. The kitchen has everything you need to cook some delicious meals. Roslyn helped us with an Issue just minutes after I made a request-we very appreciated that ! The staff here is also very nice and they really want to make your stay special. At least transportation to the harbour in Moyogalpa and from San Jorge to Granada was organized for us and perfectly worked out ! All in all a 10/10 for the accomodation and the service around it. Thank you for having us we would definitely come again !

The place is perfect, the only challenge is the entrance which is of stones, but it is worth it, beautiful landscape and house

Such a beautiful property so peaceful and really nice vibe. The room and bed was very comfortable and clean with amazing hot water preasure shower! The owners are very responsive and the onsite staff are also amazing. I recommend the breakfast for the extra $6 it is delicious. There are some great restaurants near by like the mediterranean pizza amd campestre. We also enjoyed El Pital and Ojo de Agua, as well as playa los mangos amd playa santa domingo market on Saturday. I would highly recommend having your own transport, car or moto to get around.

Spacious and comfortable room. Beautiful private terrace. Great view of the volcano. Well-equipped kitchen.

Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Belle terrasse privée. Superbe vue sur le volcan. Cuisine bien équipée.

My Girlfriend and I stayed 5 nights and enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The accommodation and its surroundings are even more beautiful than on the pictures. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and especially Nolber made sure that we had everything we needed every day. We hope to come back again soon!

Beautiful place, fireflies were flying around and we had a perfect view of the volcano. There was also a guard during the night making us feel very safe. Room was very nice as well.

Very nice Airbnb. Great large room. Located in the forest with a breathtaking view of the volcano! Check-in was easy. The instructions were clear! As mentioned in the listing , there is no air conditioning. It was quite hot at night despite the ceiling fan. Since we are in the jungle/forest, there are several critters in the accommodation (including  small lizards and frog in the shower🐸) It's normal (in my opinion) given its location in the heart of nature! All in all, it's a BEAUTIFUL airbnb!

Très joli Airbnb. Super grande chambre. Située dans la forêt avec une vue à couper le souffle sur le volcan! L’arrivée était facile. Les instructions étaient claires! Tel que mentionné dans l’annonce , il n’y a pas d’air climatisé. Il faisait assez chaud la nuit malgré le ventilateur au plafond. Puisque nous somme dans la jungle/forêt, il y a plusieurs bestioles dans le logement (incluant  petits lézards et grenouille dans la douche🐸) C’est normal ( a mon avis) vue sa localisation au cœur de la nature! Somme toutes, c’est un MAGNIFIQUE airbnb!

Great Sunset! Definitely need ATV or four wheel drive to get there. Cafe Campestre’s food is really good.

The accommodation is an absolute dream. The view from the terrace is amazing and the garden is beautifully landscaped. The room was super equipped and also the kitchen had everything you need for cooking. Scooters were provided immediately upon request and there were helpful tips for the area. The two dogs are great. We would come back any time. :)

Die Unterkunft ist ein absoluter Traum. Die aussicht von der Terrasse ist der Wahnsinn und der garten ist wunderschön angelegt. Das Zimmer war super ausgestattet und auch Die Küche hatte alles was man zum kochen braucht. Roller wurden nach Anfrage sofort bereitgestellt und es gab hilfreiche tipps für die Umgebung.Die zwei hunde sind toll. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. :)

The pictures in the Airbnb post do not do justice . Everything is extremely clean, even the communal kitchen . The staff were also phenomenal- Miguel you are an angel :) also, the two dogs and the kitty warmed our heart- we miss them already. The view of the mountain for sunset is breathtaking. We were even lucky enough to see packs of howler monkeys swing by every afternoon as well. I know the location is tricky to get around but we were able to rent scooters and have them delivered and picked up and it wasn’t a problem. Thank you for the hospitality ! Highly recommend.

The location is definitely nice and exactly how it looks in the pictures. However, the road to get into the location needs improvement. Also, there isn't any restaurants near by, unless you walk out of the hotel. The path is very dark and you could  hurt yourself. Overall 7.5/10.

The staff were so nice and helpful. Beautiful views Comfortable beds and kitchen is well equipped

It was perfect. The room and terrace are beautiful, it's super quiet and idyllic. We would have loved to stay there longer. A 100% recommendation.

Es war perfekt. Das Zimmer und die Terrasse sind wunderschön, es ist super ruhig und idyllisch. Gerne wären wir länger dort geblieben. Eine 100% Empfehlung.

Beautiful place with welcoming staff ! The view is amazing and the place is clean and calm!!

Thank you so much Rosyln and Jonathan ! And to Miguel and the two ladies for being so kind and helpful throughout our stay. We had such a great time in Ometepe and the airbnb exceeded our expectations. Thank you again.

The stay was great and the house was exactly as shown in the photos. Big beautiful green outdoor areas and great view. The whole house was clean and very well maintained. There was a binder in the room with lots of helpful information and tips. It was also nice that there were some menus available at the house from local restaurants that offered delivery. Miguel was very polite and helpful. I would say just do pay attention to the information about the road to enter the house. It is quite rocky and muddy (especially after rain season). Strongly suggest to go with a high car.

A fabulous step through a well curated, lush garden into a tastefully modern house. You’re staying in the middle of the jungle though you’re met with a clean, comfortable space. There’s plentiful seating, perfect for reading/relaxing inside and out. The back opens to a marvelous view of the volcano and lake. Comfy beds, coffee and breakfast the next morning, both delicious and convenient. The best part of the whole experience was Miguel (our on site host). He gave plenty of good advice and helped us throughout our trip. Pointing us to a pizza party in the jungle and a breathtaking hike up to a 40 meter waterfall, we were never bored. Definitely coming back again, and recommending to all of my friends. Wouldn’t spend a dime elsewhere.

Such a beautiful place! Everything was clean and as the pictures showed. The view on the volcano was spectacular and at night you could see clearly all the stars in the sky! Would recommend 100%!

An amazing, beautiful and comfortable place in a incredibly peaceful area. Will definitely come back when you guys let us ;) Best Sophia and Marius

Amazing space, perfect for my 3 boys. My husband and I stayed in the larger room upstairs, but felt completely comfortable leaving the boys in their own space. The doors locked from the inside. As the space is set up more like an apartment building than a house. Each room has its own entrance and private patio. Extremely well designed, they put so much thought into every detail. And it showed and was felt. We would definitely stay there again! Just to note: there are no taxi’s up of the road where the house in, so I’m not sure how difficult this would be as a home base without a rental car or scooter. We had a rental truck that we drove over from Granada in, and took it on the ferry. We were very glad to have the truck to go exploring in.

Beautiful home on the island! An amazing view! In the most beautiful place in Ometepe either Balgüe! Small restaurants and activities nearby! Would recommend!

Superbe logis sur l’île! Une vue incroyable! Dans le plus bel endroit d’Ometepe soit Balgüe! Petits restos et activités à proximité ! Je le recommande!

Excellent service, really nice view. Totally recommended.

Great space in Ometepe.  Quiet & private with gorgeous clean rooms & hot showers.

Perfect place to relax and recharge. The walk to restaurants is a little bit far (beautiful mindful walk) but we can order food to be delivered. The bed is huge and sooo comfy. The view is of course amazing, I wish I have a house like this. This place is the best in Ometepe!

A wonderful place facing the Concepcìon volcano. Unique view, incessantly in movement ... you don't get tired of it. The accommodation , modern style, is perfect, well thought out and very functional. We'll be happy to go back.  It is possible to have meals delivered with 3 restaurants nearby...

Un merveilleux endroit face au volcan Concepcìon. Vue unique, sans cesse en mouvement ... on ne s'en lasse pas. Le logement , style moderne, est parfait, bien pensé et trés fonctionnel. On y retournera avec plaisir.  Possibilité de se faire livrer les repas avec 3 restaurants alentours...

Beautiful property with a view of Concepcion. We loved it here so much that we extended our initial 2 day stay to 5 days! The garden and room was perfect and spacious and at the time we were the only guests there so did not have to share the kitchen with anyone else which made us feel like we had our own apartment! The bed was huge! And very comfy! Our favourite place to stay in Nica.

Photos don’t do it justice, views were remarkable! Would love to stay here again! Beautiful home and great place to live, hidden gem.

It was perfect thanks Roslyn, the view is amazing and the room are very clean , the guide that we went with to the volcano trek was amazing too, thanks will come back for sur

Casa Ananda is a great property to stay at! The staff is super friendly and welcoming and helps with anything you may need. The room looks AMAZING! And the view and surroundings is even more stunning and simply beautiful. Everything is very modern and super clean. Breakfast is very delicious and plentiful, don't miss out on this opportunity:) Thank you for the wonderful stay, I would recommend it to everybody.

Wonderful view Helpfull local team Great équipement ! We recommand that place !

An amazing view and great location! Really enjoyed our stay.

The place was very clean and modern with an amazing view. Roslyn was extremely helpful and welcoming. She definitely made us feel right at home. The staff was very nice. Highly recommend getting the breakfast as well. Great place overall and loved every moment!

Beautiful house, with amazing views and comfy king sized bed. Hosts are fantastic and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting ometepe

Roslyn’s place is wonderful There is something magical, so quiet & a magnificent view on the volcano Also, Miguel, the caretaker was so nice ( only speaks Spanish) I was traveling alone and he helped me a lot to arrange transportation and tours. I had breakfast for an additional 4$us and it was so good! Thank to all the team! I’ll remember Ometepe forever :) If you arrive at night, i highly recommend to take a private taxi

Had a great stay at Balgüe. The room in house was clean, spacious, and an awesome outside view of volcano, lake water, with surrounding gardens. Getting up the dirt/stone road was a fun challenge, take it with care. Getting around Ometepe by motorcycle is a lot of fun for 2 if you’re up for it.

This is certainly the best place in Ometepe island. The habitation was great, clean with excellent amenities and 2 terasses where you can enjoy the volcano view. Balgue is a good starting point to visit the island. Moreover Roslyn and Jonathan are really charming people. It was a pleasure to meet them. They made everything to guarantee we had a great time. Finally the price is more than correct if you compare to other hotel much more expensive. Do not hesitate to go there. You will definitely not regret it Also a big thank you to the local employee who took good care of us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Roslyn and Jonathan's home. The location is amazing for checking out Ometepe's highlights and the views from the patio of the volcano were so beautiful. The room itself is super clean, stylish and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi was also super fast and there are some great restaurants within a short distance. We had a motorbike so it only took us 5 minutes to go for dinner in the evenings. We found Roslyn's manual very useful and it had all of the info we needed to plan our stay. Finally, although we didn't get to meet Jonathan and Roslyn in person, their staff took great care of us. We requested a vegan breakfast and the lady who does the cooking in the morning did an amazing job of making sure we were full and satisfied when setting off for the day. Would highly recommend this place to those that are looking for a quiet and very comortable stay on Ometepe.

Roslyn and Jonathan are spectacular hosts and their place is just as lovely. My friend and I were two females traveling to Nicaragua for the first time and were a bit nervous about planning transportation, activities, etc. Roslyn and Jonathan helped us plan our transport from the MGA airport to their home on Ometepe and everything went so so smoothly. Once at their gorgeous home we had the most delicious breakfast every morning and views of the volcano to enjoy. To echo the other reviewers, one pup did bark throughout the night but don’t let that keep you from this staying here. 10/10!!

If your looking for a peaceful spot to spend watching the sunset go down over Conception, this is the place. Your located close to town, on the Maderas volcano base and we couldn’t have had a better stay while on Ometepe. This place is so clean, comfortable and the breakfast!!!! Huge servings, fresh juice, coffee all for such a LOW price. You wouldn't be disappointed. Have your next stay with Roslyn and Jonathan!

Wow, this place was.. wow! We loved it here. The owners weren’t there at the time of our visit but they have the most amazing staff. Our Spanish is pretty bad, the staffs English also not that good but we found ways to communicate and therefor we had no problems with it. The breakfast is amazing, room is clean and the garden is beautiful. It’s a little walk (10-15min) to some restaurants and a hotel with a beautiful pool if you feel like swimming. Do take a torch with you, you’ll be needing it at night! Also excursions m, taxi or scooter rental they can arrange. Would I stay here again? Without a doubt!

What a lovely review! Thanks so much! We are delighted you loved it so much. :-)

Lovely place. Secluded yet close to the best eateries of the island. Lovely large breakfast which you can have adjusted. And the view is the best!

Heerlijke plek. Afgelegen en toch vlakbij de beste eettentjes van het eiland. Heerlijk groot ontbijt welke je kan laten aanpassen. En het uitzicht is the best!

Our stay at Roslyn and Jonathan's apartment was great! Even though they weren't there during our stay, they made sure we were accommodated perfectly. On arrival we were greeted by Miguel, one of the staff members, who showed us around and gave us the keys. Miguel was so helpful and also helped us out finding a good scooter, nice restaurants and book tours. In the morning we chose to have the breakfast as well. It's made by one of the other staff members and is truly delicious. You can have it at any time you want and you can eat it at your private patio at the back exit of the room. There are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, but we'd recommend to rent a scooter/motorcycle to get there (that goes for Ometepe in general). All in all, we couldn't have wanted a better stay on the island.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this property. The ambiance is romantic and leisurely and the amenities are modern and stylish. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The "mini-bar" is SO great and the items' prices are very reasonable. It was very convenient having that option so that you don't have to go outside when you fancy some nightcap. The breakfast is also reasonably priced and delicious! Definitely stay here if you are coming to Ometepe! Would love to come back.

A great stay in a great space!! Loved the comfort, the privacy, the views, the help/recs from owners and staff, the in yet out of town, breakfast..It goes on. All is as stated and then some!! Highly recommended and hoping for a return someday. Thanks much, BKB

Everything was very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend. Roslyn and Jonathan were very helpful and ensured our time on Ometepe was a wonderful experience. Definitely go for the breakfast!

Roslyn and Jonathan's was absolutely perfect. We arrived after dark and their instruction for check in and directions were so clear, there was no way to get lost. Their staff were so wonderful and nice. We had DELICIOUS breakfast every morning out on our porch. Suggestions for activities was so thorough we were never at a loss for things to do. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!

This place is AMAZING. This is by far the best place I have ever stayed in all my travels to Central or South America. The room is so comfortable (yay for King beds and GREAT showers!) and the views were indescribable. Be sure to get the breakfast in the morning - it was delicious and very filling. Also be sure to walk up the road to the Totoco Ecolodge in the afternoon for a delicious drink overlooking the best sunset we saw on the trip. I could not recommend Roslyn and Jonathan's place more!

This space was absolutely beautiful. Roslyn was very helpful with getting us set up with a car reservation for the ferry, and getting there was easy as long as you follow their directions (don’t follow Google maps!). It was a lovely space, breakfast was good, and they made some great restaurant recommendations. It was a great experience all around!

We absolutely adored Rosalyn and jonathon’s place. The pictures do not do justice how clean, spacious and beautiful their space really is. The hosts were warm and welcoming, checked in with us every day, but gave us our own space and privacy. I would recommend this location to anybody looking to get a little off the beaten path, but still wanting to explore the island.

Great place. Feels a world away from most of what the island has to offer with regards to lodging.

Everything in this accommodation was as it seemed in the description. The room was spacious and clean. Kitchen was fully equipped and the private balcony was a place to relax. We also ordered breakfast some mornings and enjoyed it every bit. A place to stay in Balgue!

Beautiful, elegant, comfortable, clean, excellent location, and kind and thoughtful service.  Highly recommend.  All of our needs were seamlessly and cheerfully attended to.  (e.g.  taxis, local activities, laundry).  It was  relaxing to know that we could rely on the reputation of 4elementos  for  hassle-free dealings  with guides and rentals.  True hospitality.

Our stay here at Roslyn and Jonathan’s house was absolutely incredible. It situated on the base of Maderas volcano and offers a beautiful view of the island and concepcion volcano. The morning breakfasts were delicious. It is a little bit of a hike from the town of Balgue however it is the perfect distance for a lovely getaway. Thank you!

This place is amazing, gorgeously built and the views are incredible. Roslyn and Jonathan are very nice people and gave lots of tips. Highly recommend it.

Very nice suite with a terrace with a breathtaking view of the volcano. The comfort of a five star hotel. All the staff are lovely and available. Balgue is a great place to visit the island of Ometepe.

Très belle suite avec une terrasse avec une vue imprenable sur le volcan. Le confort d’un hôtel cinq étoiles. Tout le personnel est adorable et disponible. Balgue est un endroit idéal pour visiter l’île d’ometepe.

Great Place! Beautiful location great breakfast, great staff, very nice! It's 650m up from the main road, it would be good to get transportation to get back after dark, we rented a quad and it was great!

The setting and  accommodations exceeded our expectations. Clean, simple, but elegant. It's a short walk from the main road, but must be done with a flashlight at night. It's a very peaceful place and you can see the stars at night. The breakfast was great and the staff was friendly and attentive. As in many places in Nicaragua, the Wi-Fi was slow and not consistent. But, that's a first-world problem. Thanks, Jonathan and Roslyn!

This place was perfect! The staff were wonderful, the scenery was beautiful and the house was very clean. The location was great - quiet and tranquil, but close to everything you need. Roslyn and Jonathan were amazing hosts and I would definitely recommend this place!

Very nice place and great hospitality. The view of the volcano is amazing, and they have done a great job of taking care of the grounds. Be aware though that the dogs do bark at night, you may want to bring earplugs.

Luxurious and secure place in the middle of the pampas, access accessible by 4x4 or on foot. A little less simple by scooter but doable. Nice terrace. Breakfast offered very good and hearty. Good restaurants around, special mention to Pizzeria Mediterranea.

Endroit luxueux et sécurisé au milieu de la pampa, accès praticable en 4x4 ou à pied. Un peu moins simple en scooter mais faisable. Jolie terrasse. Petit déjeuner proposé très bon et copieux. Bons restaurants dans les parages, mention spéciale à la Pizzeria Mediterranea.

We loved this spot! Amazing views of the Concepcion volcano. Delicious breakfast. Fridge was stocked with reasonably priced beers and soda, to settle upon departure. The road on the way up is bumpy. We actually arrived at night and dropped our motorcycles because it was hard to see all the rocks in the road. The neighbors down the way were so friendly and kind, they helped us get the bikes to a safe place until they could be repaired. Everyone is very nice and we felt safe for sure. Nice uphill walk to Totoco Eco Lounge for drinks at night. Tastefully decorated. Very breezy at night. Dogs and roosters sometimes woke us up, but it was fine. Great time.

Nice house, nice location, great outdoor space. Great communication.

An unbelievably gorgeous spot on the magical island of Ometepe. Roslyn and Jonathan’s home was pristine, luxurious and had incredible views of Concepción. They were extremely friendly and responsive to all of our inquiries. Breakfast was delicious as well. I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to stay here again, or at another of their properties!

If you are looking for a place to rest and admire the majestic Concepcion Volcano from your room you are in the right place!! The room is gigantic and very clean. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Since the place is still finished, it lacks a little warmth, but it's the only small downside in our opinion. We recommend without hesitation.

Si vous rechercher un endroit pour vous reposer et admirer le majestueux Volcan Concepcion depuis votre chambre vous êtes au bon endroit !! La chambre est gigantesque et tres propre. Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et serviable. Puisque l'endroit est encore en finition il manque un peu de chaleur, mais c'est le seul petit bémol à notre sens. Nous recommandons sans hésitations.

Jonathan and Rosyln’s place was really beautiful and the most comfortable place we have stayed in Nicaragua.  They were extremely helpful with everything.  We can wait to go back.

Probably one of the best places to stay in Ometepe. Everything is impeccable and new. The view is beautiful. 

Sûrement un des meilleurs endroits où loger à Ometepe. Tout est impeccable et neuf. La vue est magnifique. 

Roslyn and Jonathan alone are worth a visit to Ile d 'Ometepe. They welcomed us as friends would. Their house is absolutely beautiful, friendly and very well equipped. The site is superb and what to say about the view of the volcano! If you fancy a quiet place to settle in, this house is perfect for you. What a positive thing. We recommend the Xalli for a good food with views of the lake (another address of these same owners) and comedor mi ranchito (Alberto) for renting a quad bike that will allow you to go around the island freely. Whatever your plans, Roslyn and Jonathan will guide you.

Roslyn et Jonathan valent à eux seuls le détour sur l'île d'ometepe. Ils nous ont accueillis comme des amis le feraient. Leur maison est absolument magnifique, conviviale et très bien équipée. Le site est superbe et que dire de la vue sur le volcan! Si vous avez envie d'un endroit tranquille pour vous poser, cette maison est parfaite pour vous. Que du positif. Nous vous recommandons le Xalli pour une bonne bouffe avec vue sur le lac (autre adresse de ces mêmes propriétaires) et le comedor mi ranchito (Alberto) pour la location d'un quad qui vous permettra de faire le tour de l'île en toute liberté. Peu importe vos plans, Roslyn et Jonathan sauront vous aiguiller.

4 Elements was a beautiful place to stay- it was clean and modern. I enjoyed the private location surrounded by nature. Roslyn and Jonathan were great hosts!

4 elements is euphoric. The views are unbeatable and the rooms are beautiful and sparkling clean. The staff is so kind and helpful, and Roslyn and Jonathan provide a wealth of information about the island, and respond to questions very quickly. Balgue is also a really great area! We wish we could have stayed even longer!

Roslyn & Jonathan's place is really lovely, private, spacious and with thoughtful touches like a flashlight and books available for reading.  It's far enough from town to be peaceful and yet it is in walking distance.  Nature is abundant.  The staff are so sweet and helpful!  I loved the breakfasts, the warm showers, the hammock and the volcano view.  Everything was solar powered.  Wifi was ok on the front and back patios.  I had room 2, but if I were coming back I might book room 1 for the amazing volcano view from the private patio.

What view from our hammock! Very thankful to our hosts for making all the arrangements and activities smooth and easy. Can't be beat!

If you plan on visiting Ometepe, Roslyn and Jonathan's guestroom is a must stay. We were greeted by Roslyn who gave us the rundown on the place. She offered recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. We ordered breakfast for two days while we were there and it was always a fresh tasty Nica breakfast. If we could've stayed a few days longer we would have. It's a bit off the main road and is a bit bumpy to get to but with a motorbike, ATV or truck it's not so bad. Overall, 4 Elementos is a stylish, serene, and beautiful place to stay (and they have an amazing shower - good heat and pressure). The hospitality you'll receive is amazing.

Jonathan and Roslyn's home is breathtaking to say the least. Their hospitality and the hospitality of their staff was greatly appreciated. The home is impeccably clean and well kept and the view from their garden made it all worth it. If you're looking for some R&R and class, stay here. Though the road to the home is bumpy, it's not far and there are many great places to eat nearby.  I really enjoyed this part of the island and my stay at Jonathan & Roslyn's. Thank you again
