Ometepe Hotels

There are many Ometepe hotels, most of them are small, family owned hotels. The two areas where you can find more hotels clustered together are of course the two main cities, Moyogalpa and Altagracia, however there is also a large concentration of Ometepe hotels at Playa Santo Domingo, an area facing east and that has one of the more popular beaches in Ometepe.

In order to make your decision easier as to which hotel would be best for you, I will sort them out according to their location, so that you can then determine which is most suitable for you depending on your needs!

Ometepe Hotels in Moyogalpa

This is where the majority of the ferries arrive, and where you will first set foot at Ometepe. If you are arriving in the late afternoon or evening, and do not yet have a room reserved, it might be a good idea to stay here for the night and arrange for the rest of your days in Ometepe here. It is a good source of island information and from where to launch your discovery of the island. This is also a good spot to start your trek up to the top of the Concepcion Volcano! Plus most of the transportation around the island is based here, because this is the main port entrance to the island, so it is easy to get around the island from here.
