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).
Vegetarian restaurant serving delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Great pastas, curries, stir-fries. Dine under a large rancho with a wonderful view of the Maderas volcano.
A family run restaurant situated across the road from the beach, Los Cocos has a small but tasty menu, nearly half of which is vegetarian. Very friendly and even willing to customize the standard veggie fare for vegans
Hospedaje Espirales is a small, family run hotel that seems to be filled with people who couldn't find space at Hostal Santa Cruz. There's nothing special about the hotel - except for use of the kitchen - but it's a good place to meet other travelers, and is centrally located for island activities. A double bed private room without bathroom was US$6/night. There are two 4 bed dorm rooms, but as of Feb 2014 it seemed that the owners saw them more as private rooms with many beds than as your standard idea of a dorm room. Still, with some negotiation and if everyone sleeping there agrees, she is happy to rent it out by the bed.
A great budget place to stay right across the road from the beach.
A more expensive place right on the beach.
Reputedly the nicest place to stay and probably the most expensive. Tours can be arranged. Bicycle rental available.
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.
