Playa Santo Domingo

Playa Santo Domingo is the name for a small strip of hotels, hospedajes, and restaurants on Isla de Ometepe in the region of southern Pacific Coast (Nicaragua).

Get in
Take the ferry from San Jorge to Moyogalpa, which not does the ~45 minute trip several times daily. Large old school buses run from Altagracia and Moyogalpa. Locals run from all over the island, as Santo Domingo is along the one main road between the Volcanos.

Get around
Walking is usually fine for the small town, some hotels rent motorcycles and bikes.

Eat
Food here tends to be geared towards the tourist clientele, which makes it a bit more expensive compared to other parts of Nicaragua. There are some restaurants in the northern part of the strip which are a bit cheaper and have tables right along the shore. This is also the location of the only vegetarian restaurant on the island.

Drink
Not much for nightlife here, but you can easily get a bottle of Ron Plata at the pulperia and have a little party with some fellow travelers.

Sleep
There are a few different hotels of different price laid along the main road. Anywhere from US$15-50 a night and all are close enough to walk between in about 10 minutes. The best way to choose is to just walk along the main road.
