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!
