The ranch is quiet, it’s a beautiful property with all kinds of trees and bushes and located at the lake. The bedroom was simple, but spacious,clean and a fresh breeze coming through at night. The room has a terrace with a table, chairs and hammocks. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom fine. Very quiet at night. No roosters or barking dogs. The owners are very sweet, caring, and lovely people. Daniela is the best cook and every day I ordered a vegetarian breakfast and dinner, lovingly prepared by her. Meals are nutritious and inexpensive. Tony is the best motorbike chauffeur and he gave me a lovely tour of the island for a very reasonable fee. Just note; mistakenly I I took the long way from the port to their ranch. (Google) After the port you need to get to the dirt path that is immediately along the lake. It’s about a 15 minute walk, quiet and safe. It is possible to take a tuk tuk to the entrance in the main road. You have a 5-7 minute walk through the banana plantation to the ranch. I would have loved to spend more time at their ranch, but unfortunately they were fully booked.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

There were only two redeeming qualities this hostel possessed to make our stay somewhat bearable: the volunteers and the proximity to Playa Amarillo. The volunteers were terrific, very friendly, very helpful, and excelled at giving the place some energy. The hostel is located just five minutes from Playa Amarillo, which was some fantastic surfing while we were there and something I would recommend to anyone that surfs, especially beginner to intermediate surfers.
