About Michael

Hi, I’m Michael Maynard, owner/co-founder of Managua Inn, who has called Nicaragua home for the past 16 years.

During that time, I’ve booked more than 10,000 customers; tested almost every bus route between Managua and the Caribbean and learned invaluable insights from the guests that I've helped over the years.

When I’m not cleaning the swimming pool or replying to guest reviews, you’ll find me scouting out the next best coffee shop here in Managua (hint: so far, the coffee at the Puma gas station is not bad!)

My mission: share honest, first-hand advice so you can experience Nicaragua like a seasoned local.
