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.

Very cool spot, nice wooden building with good airflow, comfortable beds, free cold drinking water!!! Good kitchen and very friendly owner and volunteers. About 100 meters to the beach and a 5 minute walk to the main area of town. Nice and quiet, and kittens!! For the price probably the best deal in town!

Hostel Life is Good is a little slice of paradise on Ometepe. Roman and Barbera, and their sweet animals, have created a perfect place to enjoy, have a drink, and enjoy. As the name implies, Life is Good, and they do a great job of showing that through their care of the hostel, the guests, and the overall vibe of the place.

We stayed in one of the new private rooms which had a bathroom. Nice distance from the party on a Wednesday so no issues with sleeping. Staff were super helpful. Easy to rent a scooter at the accomodation to get to all the main sights.

Learned this was one of the original hostels on Ometepe. Breakfasts and dinners were freshly prepared with local ingredients. Their dogs and cats were very nice to spend time with. The hosts can lease scooters and deliver them for competitive prices. Communication with host prior to and during stay was excellent.
