Trent was so lovely and made me and my sister stay very comfortable, he had lots of recommendations and was always there to answer any questions or have a laugh. He also very kindly drove me and my sister into Rivas. Was lovely to hang out there and recover after NYE :))

Trent the owner was very kind and helpful with whatever I needed during my stay. They have a great pool, plenty of places to chill in hammocks and cushioned chairs. The dorm rooms are very dark during the night, and there is 6 fans per dorm making it a very comfortable sleep. I was here just to surf and relax for a week and that’s exactly what I got. Can definitely recommend staying here if that’s what you’re looking for, especially in the low season.

Ruamoko was the most incredible stay ever! Trent is an awesome person who’s created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all travellers. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable with each person having their own personal fan to sleep with! I would recommend this place to anyone travelling to Nicaragua and would go back again myself in a heartbeat! What an amazing place!
