Although difficult to get to, it is an amazing place, and well worth the trip. After the ferry and the long bus ride, it is actually a 2km, partly uphill walk to the finca. I was lucky enough to catch a ride, definately don't be shy!but be prepared to walk, ,just in case.
From the finca, you can hire a guide (please hire a guide) to hike the volcano with you, which takes about 8 or 9 hours, and up to the crater lake. If that isn't for you, you can take a shorter hike around the finca and see petroglyphs and wildlife.
They have a good restaurant and anything else you might need.
I rented a single room that came with a mosquito net and an incredible view of the lake (which really looks like the ocean) for $3 per night. The rooms are in a converted barn, which only maks the experience even more interesting.

I had a room with shower and payed only 5 $ per night. With my family I had a sea front cabin for 30 $. There is a restaurant that serve food from breakfast untill 8 p.m. They arrange day tours with their bus, rent horses and bikes. It is only five minutes to walk to the Charco Verde Ecological Reserve where you can see howler monkies, birds, snakes, and other animals.

 In the lobby of Hotel
Central by Pieter11
The hotel has rooms around a small patio. At the time we stayed here, we were the only guests on the patio, so we had everything for ourselves. But even if there are other guests you still have your own terrace for yourselve, including a private hammock, a table and two chairs. And inside the room is very decent and spacious too! For a double room you pay 10 dollar per night.
What makes Hotel Central also attractive is that it is very complete. In the morning you can order a good breakfast for only 2 dollars, in the evening you can have a good and very cheap local dinner here for only 4 dollars. And afterwardsthe bars remains open, so you can still have a couple of Victoria-beers afterwards.
And the hotel also is good source of information about the island, they provide a taxi-service towards the harbour when you want to catch the boat to San Carlos, and they rent mountainbikes for trips around the island.

A great place to stay with a unbelievable view of Volcan Concepcion and the Lago de Nicaragua. Cost per night is $1-3 U.S dollars and food is also very reasonable. It is also a great place to take off from to hike up Volcan Maderas. Theme: HostelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average

 The hacienda by metteks
They serve meals on request all day, and there is a very little shop where beer and basic stuff is sold.
The hacienda is a coffee-cooperative.
We arrived when it was dark to Balgües, and luckily we found a guy that was willingly to show us the way to the hacienda. He let us by torchlight through the bananafields on muddy tracks to the finca. Here we arrived tired from a long days journey and hungry. We didn't know what to expect, and we were glad when we found out we could order dinner at the place.
We went to sleep in our hammocks at the terrace, and the next morning the first thing we saw when we opened our eyes, where the beatuful surroundings, views to the lake and the volcano. And then we noticed the men on horses just in front of us, leading all the cows to the fields.
The hacienda is a popular place for starting the climb of Volcán Madera. We hired a guide at the hacienda to help us up the track to the summit. It took about 5 hours and the track was very muddy.

The Finca Magdalena is a strange heaven in the middle of nowhere. It’s a nice place to chill for days or weeks and let the traveling worries behind. Just enjoy a good game of cards with the rest of the traveller and sip the tasty Nicaraguan beer (adquired taste actually since it's rather weak). Theme: Pension/GuesthouseComparison: least expensive

I enjoyed this quiet hideway, for a number of reasons, the restaurant overlooking the lake, the cabins, awakening to the sound of howler monkeys, the beach and even the odd sow pig wandering about on the road in front of the hotel.

It is a lovely resort perched on a cliff overlooking the lake with Volcan Maderas to the right. We had a lovely chalet with a patio and hammock. It is a little pricey at $40 but its very nice.
