Moyogalpa is a town on the island of Ometepe, in the Southern Pacific Coast region of Nicaragua.
Owners Simone and Robert have created a delightful little oasis on the main drag, several blocks up from the ferry landing. Spotless and spacious, the AC & H is a daily gathering spot for tourists and locals alike. Robert can usually be found somewhere near the front door greeting visitors while Simone commands the kitchen, where remarkable things are created. Simone's Italian, 'nuff said. The rates are incredibly affordable. The exterior of the building is kind of bland, but don't let the outside decor fool you.
Hospedaje Soma
With only a ten-minute walk to the dock, it is just far enough away from sometimes noisy downtown but still in reach of all necessary services which the village provides. This really quiet place offers a dormitory US$8 per person, spacious private rooms $22 with shared bathrooms, $30 with private bathroom and cabins with private bathroom and a solar run hot water heater from $43 on with fan to $53 with AC. The rate for all private rooms includes a standard breakfast. Dinner is served for guests in the evening. The guesthouse has a nice and cozy tropical garden with some space to hang out and chill and provides free WiFi for its clients. Soma offers a laundry service and tours and hikes can be organized from there. Please note that they only accept reservations by email.
Situated in a rather rural area far away from noises and smells of town.
By bus
There are regular buses from the other major town of the island, Altagracia.
By plane
The town is walkable (albeit a little hilly), although you will be met by countless taxis once you step off your ferry. If you search for one later on, they are much harder to find.
