The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. This place is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed so far in Central America. The views, the food, the coffee, vibe and staff are amazing. They have boards for rent or sale, kitchen is well equipped, path down the cliff to the beach, and comfortable beds. We loved that William really took the time to talk to and get to know us on our stay. So good that we didn’t want to leave!

Moyogalpa

Facing the beachfront in Moyogalpa, Rancho Tranquillo features a garden and a terrace. Free WiFi and a tour desk are featured.

All units at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. At Rancho Tranquillo every room has a private bathroom and bed linen. The owners Daniela & Tony went above and beyond for their guests to make sure we were all comfortable and had everything for our stay. Beds in the dorm were comfortable, bathroom was clean, everyone had a fan, drinking water provided, hammocks, a delicious affordable breakfast was also an option which I highly recommend! The location was close to the ferry port, it was very easy to explore other parts of the island by renting a scooter.

Beautiful and peaceful spot with everything you need and more.
