Ananda Guesthouse - Balgue

What they don't tell you

You'll be blown away by the majestic view of the volcano and the peaceful air of the hotel! Especially Miguel, are helpful, arranged tours . Catch lovely sunsets while lounging on the lush grass. Such a good escape from reality!

We appreciated the convenience of the luxury king room with comfortable bed and pillows. It was nice to have coffee and tea making equipment, a seating area, and a study table.

The rooms with the balcony, amazing views plus mountain view. Plenty of tasty food for meals. Location near to the lake...

Consider bringing a fan if your room lacks AC, as nights can get warm, even with fresh breezes from the mountains.

Our apartment was more than spotless. We enjoyed the splendid view. The location was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT on the volcano and the staff here was wonderfully helpful. Moreover, it was not far from other facilities such as taxi, a hike nearby and a quiet area.

Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys in the lush gardens added a magical touch to our mornings!

The steep, uneven access road posed a challenge, which might not be suitable for all guests, especially without a vehicle.

The flies in the room were a real bummer, but the garden view was gorgeous.

Unique garden views from the triple room create a relaxing atmosphere. The porch provides a nice spot for enjoying the surroundings.

The kitchen was sweltering in the mornings, as it was often occupied by staff. The access road to the place is a bumpy eight-minute drive, and if you don't have a vehicle, it's a strenuous 15-minute walk. No AC, contributing to restless sleep.

The spacious suite featured a fine view of the volcano, and the communal kitchen was well-equipped. The serene garden offered a beautiful backdrop for relaxation, with many birds and howler monkeys adding to the ambiance. Access involves a bumpy ride, and the lack of air conditioning were great. It's a bit of a trek from the town center for those without a vehicle, which may not suit everyone.

The location is a fantastic escape, surrounded by nature and perfect for relaxation. I appreciated the kitchen facilities for self-catering and the wonderful views from the balcony. The access road can be a bit rough, so a sturdy vehicle is recommended, and the lack of outdoor communal spaces was noticeable.

Beautiful accommodations with two showers, a balcony overlooking the mountains, and incredibly friendly staff.

Waking up to monkeys every morning was surreal! The spacious suite had a cozy patio perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the island.

What a good escape! Our suite had a fine view of the volcano and a kitchen for late-night snacks. The howler monkeys were the cherry on top!

But do beware of the charming little bugs! The road was a bit bumpy-who knew a cab ride could feel like an amusement park ride?

A must stay for couples

We spent our afternoons lounging on the lawn watching the sunsets breaking over the volcano. The breakfast, it was fresh and seemed like the heart of Nicaragua on a plate.

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but it was still fair for the experience.

The fine view of the volcano was a highlight, and the peaceful atmosphere provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Waking up to the sounds of monkeys outside while enjoying fresh complimentary bread made for good mornings. The access road was a challenge, necessitating a sturdy vehicle for comfortable travel, and the lack of air conditioning left the nights a bit warm. Although the communal kitchen was well-stocked, it could get quite busy during breakfast prep.
