Ananda -#5- Incredible King Studio apartment - Bed and breakfasts for Rent in Balgüe, Altagracia, Isla de Ometepe, Rivas, Nicaragua

An absolute hidden piece of paradise, guesthouse was amazing, the view to wake up was stunning! Great spacious bathroom, with outdoor shower, big kitchen and living area. Location on the island is good, and very peaceful with view on one or the Volcano’s. Staff was super friendly and helpful, also prepared a great breakfast. I’d definitely recommend!

Beautiful view of the volcano, the way up is hard, would not recommend a little car, jeep will do the job, forget about walking. Norber was very attentive and helpful. if you bring a car into the island, make sure you book the ferry withing months...

We had a wonderful time The space is beautiful, large, clean and private. Because the road there was a bit difficult with transport, we did it several times on foot which was fine to do! We rented a scooter somewhere else and could park it at the host's place again at night. Then it was another 10 min walk up/down. We took breakfast every morning (which we unfortunately had to pay separately, for the price it would be nice if it was included) which was very well taken care of, our favorite breakfast in Nicaragua! There are home delivery options, which is very nice if you want to fully enjoy your stay. The accommodation has the menus ready, very well arranged! Communication went very well, extremely friendly helpful and fast. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy the peace, the space and the view!

We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad. De ruimte is prachtig, groot, schoon en privé. Omdat de weg ernaartoe wat lastig was met vervoer, hebben wij het meerdere keren te voet gedaan wat prima te doen was! We huurde een scooter ergens anders en konden deze 's nachts weer bij de verhuurder parkeren. Dan was het nog zo'n 10 min lopen naar boven/beneden. We namen het ontbijt elke ochtend (wat we helaas wel nog apart moesten betalen, voor de prijs zou het fijn zijn als het erbij zat) wat wel heel goed verzorgd was, ons favoriete ontbijt in Nicaragua! Er zijn thuisbezorgd opties, wat heel fijn is als je volledig wil genieten van je verblijf. De accommodatie heeft de menu's klaar liggen, heel goed geregeld! Communicatie verliep heel goed, uiterst vriendelijk behulpzaam en snel. Een echte aanrader als je van de rust, de ruimte en het uitzicht wil genieten!

Roslyn & Jonathan have created a super special place for guests to enjoy their stay in Ometepe. Truly one of the best AirBnb stays we’ve ever had. The lodging has so thoughtfully been curated with every amenity & small touch considered. Space is clean up & down, bed is comfy, seating areas to lounge, outdoor shower is next-level cool, patio with outstanding views & serene vibes. The staff were all lovely, kind & considerate. Our daily breakfasts were delicious & featured local items. The property cat & dogs were a highlight as well, Alfa really likes to try to get some leftovers lol. Def recommend an ATV to access the property and comes in handy to tour other more remote parts of the island as well. There are a few restaurants down the hill that we enjoyed each evening. In a nutshell, this place won’t disappoint!

Only stayed one night but really enjoyed it! Watched an amazing sunset behind the volcano right from the patio. Staff was friendly and helpful

A quick couple nights before my vacation ended and it was perfect. Directions were great since it’s off the main road and upon arrival did not disappoint. Amazing views with awesome landscape. This 1 bedroom is very spacious and comfortable. Very recommended for a relaxing chill place to stay in style with that upper class feel. Only thing to know is there’s no A/C, but it’s okay since the winds are strong each day/night and there’s a couple fans before the morning gets in the upper 70’s.

Lovely Location with an amazing view on the volcano. really kind people. the perfect place to enjoy some quite days

It is hard to find words to describe this serene place. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The place was everything as described and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. Thank you- we will never forget our stay here.

Absolutely incredible accommodations. All the staff were so friendly and extremely accommodating. Anything that we needed was looked after immediately. The view was incredible, the place was very clean! The dogs Osa and Alfie were such a highlight for us as well. The breakfast was amazing. 10000/10  We’re so grateful for this experience and would absolutely love to come back! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever had the privilege to stay in! Tranquil, beautiful and remote.

Thank you so much Maddy!! This brings a huge smile to all of our faces because we really do care about your experience!

Great property beautiful views. You do need to be confident on a bike to get to and from the property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ananda. The space was really clean and spacious, the garden was beautiful with an amazing view of the volcano, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s in a nice peaceful area but within walking distance to restaurants. The 2 dogs on site are also super cute and we loved giving them daily cuddles and strokes. We would definitely stay here again.

Ananda is a beautiful, well-designed place, with a magnificent view to the volcano, and nearby to great places such as Cafe Campestre or Pital

It was honestly a great place and beautiful site. I just wish it was noted in the listing that the road to get up there was extremely rocky & uneven. That type of terrain isn’t easily built for mopeds, just ATV’s and some cars

I didn’t want to leave after just a few days Views were stunning where you can see the volcano, the lake, and their garden just underlining it all as you have breakfast or watch the sunset. Breakfast was amazing, staff super nice and gave great recommendations for local spots and got me a great guide to hike the Concepcion volcano. You’ll definitely make full use of your fans as there is no AC but the wins of this beautiful place was worth it

Great place to stay when you’re on the island, fun to get to on an ATV, beautiful view, and very spacious spot.

A beautiful, peaceful and clean spot.  Perfect for exploring the island and coming home to star gaze at night!

We had a fantastic few days. The view of the garden with hammock, the large apartment, very good beds (also the sofa for a 3rd person slept well!) and the incredibly friendly staff made sure we could rest wonderfully. Jonathan booked a place for our pickup on the boat in advance. Great! Fast and good communication. Tip: make sure you arrive on Olmetepe by boat before dark, the road to the house is dark and a pretty bumpy road. (We had a 4x4) Then you laugh at it, but the first time is nice to do in daylight. There is 1 ATM nearby so bring plenty of cash. If you want to fill the fridge a bit, bring groceries from Rivas to Olmetepe. Absolutely recommended!

Wij hebben een paar fantastische dagen gehad. Het uitzicht op de tuin met hangmat, het grote appartement, hele goede bedden (ook de bank voor een 3e persoon sliep goed!) en de ontzettend vriendelijke staf zorgden ervoor dat we heerlijk konden uitrusten. Jonathan reserveerde een plekje voor onze pickup op de boot van te voren. Heel fijn! Snelle en goede communicatie. Tip: zorg dat je voor donker op Olmetepe aankomt met de boot, de weg naar het huis is donker en een behoorlijk hobbelige weg. (Wij hadden een 4x4) Daarna lach je erom, maar de eerste keer is wel fijn om bij daglicht te doen. Er is 1 pinautomaat in de buurt dus neem voldoende cash mee. Als je een beetje de koelkast wil vullen, neem dan boodschappen vanuit Rivas mee naar Olmetepe. Absolute aanrader!

It was a peaceful and beautiful place to stay! Breakfast was amazing and the bed big and super comfortable! The apartment big and very light! We love it! Staff was amazing and very kind! Thank you

The house is incredibly high-end for the area. It was definitely the best pIace to stay in the area, by far. I visited in April and it was unbearably hot and noisy from the chickens and dogs throughout the night. If this place had A/C, it would be perfect! I felt safe seeing that there was a night-guard.

The place is so beautiful, with a beautiful view of the volcano. It's safe and very quiet. The staff is friendly. the architecture is very well thought out with spacious spaces. Breakfast is excellent.

El lugar es hermosísimo, con una hermosa vista al volcan. Es seguro y muy tranquilo. El personal es amable. la arquitectura esta muy bien pensada con espacios amplios. El desayuno es excelente.

Love the view and location! Can’t wait to come back to stay longer! Special thanks to the kitchen staff and house manager for being so kind!

AMAZING about this place. Honestly the pictures don't do justice to the place. It's even more beautiful in real life. I recommend 200%. You have the view of the volcano, breakfast and a super nice course!

INCROYABLE ce logement. Honnêtement les photos ne rendent pas justice au lieu. C’est encore plus beau en vrai. Je recommande à 200%. Vous avez la vue sur le volcan, le petit déjeuner et un stage super gentil !

We loved our stay! The view is incredible and the space is luxurious for the area. Our home cooked breakfast was delicious. Staff was helpful and kind. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a nicer stay on the island.

Absolutely stunning property. A bit of a trek up, but absolutely worth it. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ometepe other than Ananda's Guesthouse.

Our stay was amazing! The communication before our arrival was extremely helpful, all desired trips were organized and useful tips for the ferry ride were given. The property is dreamy! The garden was very well maintained, the apartment was sparkling clean and nicely furnished. The view was simply stunning. The fact that there was no air conditioning was no problem as the air can circulate well due to the many windows. The place is super quiet and a little secluded. Tasty restaurants are within 10 minutes walking distance. If you don't want to take this footpath, Nolver (one of the employees) is always ready to order the food you want and pick it up for you - perfect service!

Unser Aufenthalt war wundervoll! Die Kommunikation vor unserer Anreise war äußerst hilfreich, alle gewünschten Fahrten wurden organisiert und sinnvolle Tipps für die Fährfahrt gegeben. Das Anwesen ist ein Traum! Der Garten war sehr gepflegt, die Wohnung blitzblank und ansprechend eingerichtet. Der Ausblick war schlicht atemberaubend. Dass es keine Klimaanlage gab, war kein Problem, da die Luft aufgrund der vielen Fenster gut zirkulieren kann. Die Unterkunft liegt super ruhig und etwas abgeschieden. Leckere Restaurants sind zu Fuß innerhalb von 10 Minuten erreichbar. Möchte man diesen Fußweg nicht auf sich nehmen, ist Nolver (einer der Angestellten) jederzeit bereit das gewünschte Essen zu bestellen und für einen abzuholen - perfekter Service!

Everything went well, when we arrived he booked us a scooter, programmed a guide to ride it from the volcano, very responsive and attentive! I recommend it.

Tous c'est bien passé, à notre arrivée il nous on réservé un scooter, programmé un guide pour la monter du volcan, très réactif et à l'écoute ! Je recommande.

Clean comfortable place with an amazing view and great location.

Our stay at Ananda Guesthouse was one of our favourite Airbnb experiences. The privacy and beautiful surroundings of this amazing location paired with the owner’s cute dogs and cat truly made our stay in Ometepe. Would recommend renting a bike/ATV and buying an eSim to navigate this remote island. 10/10 would stay here again!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed.

A wonderful apartment with everything you need. Spacious bathroom with outdoor shower, well-equipped kitchen and a terrace with wonderful views of the volcano. Also, we are in love with the two dogs and the cat! We would recommend the accommodation to anyone. Thanks for the great apartment stay.

Ein wunderbares Apartment mit allem, was man benötigt. Großzügiges Bad mit Außendusche, gut ausgestattete Küche und eine Terasse mit wunderbarem Ausblick auf den Vulkan. Außerdem sind wir verliebt in die beiden Hunde und die Katze! Wir würden die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Auafenthalt.

beautiful apartment with impressive views. Unfortunately, the way there is catastrophic, so the taxi could not even take us there. We had to walk up the mountain in full. In our emergency situation, the night watchman didn't help us at all and didn't even call us a doctor.

wunderschönes Apartment mit beeindruckender Aussicht. Leider ist der Weg dorthin katastrophal, so dass uns das Taxi nicht einmal hinbringen konnte. Wir mussten voll bepackt zu Fuß den Berg hinauf. In unserer Notlage hat uns der Nachtwächter überhaupt nicht geholfen und hat uns nicht einmal einen Arzt gerufen.

The pictures do not do this place justice the views are I’d say the most beautiful on the whole island and you can see if right from your bed! The dogs are friendly and the place it’s self is super clean and beautiful inside with modern furnishings. As two young women we felt very safe at this location and the suggestion booklet in the place was very helpful as well we recommend reading that. The only thing I’d say is the road up is very rocky and steep so as they say in the description get an atv and it’ll be a breeze. The breakfast options were also delicious and easy to set up! 100% recommended this Airbnb.

Ananda Guesthouse was so lovely and peaceful. The view of the volcano was incredible. The loft was super clean and the outdoor shower was amazing! Jonathan was super helpful and even reserved the ferry to bring our car for us. As they recommend, if you plan to bring a vehicle make sure it’s an suv as the road driving up is quite rocky and uneven.

We had an amazing stay at Ananda’s in the Studio. Wonderful place, the best view on the Island and very lovely staff. I would really go back when visiting Ometepe for a second time. Highly recommend!

Ananda's Guesthouse was absolutely beautiful. We had the private king suite with our own personal outdoor sitting area. The view was breathtaking and the environment peaceful. The outdoor shower topped off this amazing ambiance.  Would recommend renting a quad to get there and explore the island. Highly recommend this place!

Wow, what an amazing space! I loved everything about it. Especially the hot outdoor shower under the stars. The kitchen is huge and the bed was super comfy. I loved the view of the volcano and the terrace so I could do yoga. Very peaceful space with really nice staff and yummy breakfast. Highly recommended!

The property is so beautiful. I watched the sunset from the property everyday because it just doesn’t get better than that. The location is close to a handful of great restaurants. The property is quite, peaceful, and clean. I ordered breakfast one morning and it was great! I had a great stay.

The house is perfect, the garden is beautiful, the place is super clean. The staff who welcomes you and does the cleanliness is lovely. Just a paradise

La casa es perfecta, el jardín es precioso, el alojamiento está super limpio. El personal que te da la bienvenida y hace la limpieza es encantador. Simplemente un paraíso
