You are welcome to prepare your meals in the guest kitchen (shared with other guesthouses on the property, used very infrequently). Breakfast is included with your stay and offered from 7:30-9:00am. Guests are served island coffee, lemongrass tea from the garden, and a plate of various farm-fresh breakfast foods prepared by a friendly local breakfast cook. Guests are invited to take a tour with the site manager of the 1-hectare (2.5-acre) guesthouse property, which includes farm animals, tropical fruits, organic gardens, and examples of sustainable use and regeneration in the jungle. Other things to note The farm is home to 2 friendly german shepherds: Navi and Loki. They provide company and security 24/7. They are always around the property. They sleep a lot and like to be petted (optional). ----- The entire property is a lush tropical forest, abundant with plant and animal life. Guests may often encounter small, shy jungle animals around the property, including birds, butterflies, bees, monkeys, frogs, toads, spiders, and small bats. Sometimes these creatures like to take shelter inside too. In keeping with our vision, we try to use natural remedies to eliminate them, which we are happy to share with you upon your arrival. NONE of these species are aggressive, toxic to humans, or otherwise dangerous. There is only one venomous animal on the island, the coral snake, which is timid and rare, with very small jaws. These creatures are found all over the island and make Ometepe a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that is full of natural beauty and diversity.
