Located in Moyogalpa, Rancho Tranquillo offers beachfront accommodation 34 km from Maderas Volcano and provides various facilities, such as a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi and a tour desk are featured.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All units at Rancho Tranquillo are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. This was one of the best hostels in all of my travels around Nicaragua. Daniela and Tony are the kindest, warmest, most considerate hosts ever. I would go back just to meet them and spend time with them. The property is tranquil, right by the lake (one can watch amazing sunsets just stepping out of the ranch). It is a short walk from the Moyogalpa ferry point. The area is super safe, I had no problems reaching the property way past sunset the first night. The ranch property in itself is beautiful - a lot of thought put into it. It is a paradise with so many trees, plants, flowers and animals and cool aesthetics. Daniela's breakfast is the best I had in Nicaragua. You simply cannot miss it! The dorm is spacious, clean, beds are comfortable. There are areas to sit out and hammocks to relax. Highly highly recommend!

It is very clean, the kitchen is good for cooking and there is even a skate bowl. I can recommend this to everyone who wants to surf and be surrounded by amazing people.
