We were stranded due to weather condition and landslide, it was impossible to reach the area. We tried two routes and drove 13hrs but still we couldn’t make it to the hotel. I would like them to refund me just like the other hotels in the area affected by the flooding and road closure.

Location is superb! Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shopping. Pool was also nice. The property could use updating and repairs. Room was average and very dark with one window. The room bedding definitely needs updating. A/C worked great. Priced a bit high, but overall had a good stay and can't beat the great location.

The beach is quite rocky. The pool isn’t very clean full of debris and bugs from the trees. The wifi cuts out often. The rooms are super small, very dated and the “standard room” does not come With a fridge. The restaurant is also grossly overpriced for a salad.

The staff was very friendly and helpful at check in ((Alexander ✔️). The pool was lovely and the location is great for the beach and walkable into main area for multiple restaurant choices I was very disappointed that there was no WiFi in my room and I had to leave my area to use my phone. I would have appreciated being able to access WiFi in a cool room instead of intense heat outside. Some rooms were within range of WiFi so you may want to request if needed. I couldn’t adjust the shower temp as the control was out of my reach…..and I’m 5’4”. The music from the pool area bar kept me awake most of the night but possibly this is a weekend issue.

Not bad, but not great. Pretty good for being by Dominical beach. Aren't many options. The rooms are very basic and dated. The grounds are okay. Restaurant is okay. Very short walk to the beach. Also not far to the main shopping area. So it's convenient.

May be years ago the property was nice, but now the territory is dirty, the wooden tables in restaurant are black of dirty. We have stayed three nights, and nobody cleaned the room and changed the towels, but the envelope “for tips” was laying on the table from the first day. Mattress on the bed was collapsed, sleeping in this bed was like sleeping on the floor. We were unhappy choosing this hotel and don’t recommend it to anybody. We have stayed in different hotels in Costa Rica, and this one was the worst.

This place tries to bill itself as a resort, but its on the lower end of a resort. They do have a pool, but not that great. There are a lot of birds here, so its a little noisy in the morning. The room was just a basic room, nothing to talk about, just a place to sleep. The free breakfast was just plain, compared to other places that I stayed at in CR. They had plenty of parking here and we felt safe.

This is a lovely little hotel - close to the beach. It was quiet and the pool is very nice. We were disappointed with the bed size and comfort. We may be spoiled, but comfortable queen or king size beds would be a very nice option for a repeat visit!

First of all, if you’re looking for an airport Hilton this isn’t it. If your looking for a Costa Rican adventure in the jungle when book your stay immediately! Grounds are beautiful, pool is epic, breakfast is great, proximity to the beach is premium. Like pretty much everywhere I’ve stayed in Costa Rica (outside San Jose) you might find the occasional lizard or crab patrolling nearby, but that’s because you’re surrounded by jungle and beach. And maybe all the plumbing doesn’t work perfectly, that’s nothing to be bothered by. We absolutely loved hanging out in their beautiful pool, shopping the market a few steps away, walking to dinner at a nearby soda, and enjoying a short walk to the beach. Plus close drives to Uvita and Nauyaca waterfalls. The staff in pleasant and welcoming. We were so impressed, our next trip will include a longer stay.

If you're looking for a traditional "Hotel", this is likely not the bet option for you. This is more like staying at someone's family estate. Very homely. The owners and family live on the property, although they don't interact very much with guests. The place is quiet during the day, evening hours are louder b/c of the nearby bar which hosts live band. The location is great, close access to beach and town. The property must have been beautiful when it was newer, the grounds have so much potential, it's in need of some consistent maintenance and landscaping staff. I'd stay here again for the location. Morning breakfast is consistent and good.

Friendly, helpful staff and convenient location near Dominical Beach made this a pleasant stay for me. Dominical is a "Bohemian" destination with an organic food store, a "healthy options" (including vegan) restaurant, a yoga studio, a fruit and smoothie shop, a dive shop, surf and adventure excursion shops, and more traditional Costa Rican restaurants and gift shops. Sunsets on Dominical Beach are not to be missed.

We arrived and they placed us in a room that there were people working right outside our window. Right when we got there a worker started to discuss with the person checking us in how it may have water seeping into the bedroom by the window. Which explains why the inside smelt like mold. And because they were working right outside, we decided to head out from the hotel to try to see if there was anywhere else to stay. Which luckily we found a different place and cancelled the other nights we would have stayed here (we still paid for the first night). When we returned to the hotel to pack up, we tried to find where the mold smell was coming from. There was dust and mold on the hangers, mold in the bathroom and we lifted the sheets to find the mattresses to be disgusting. We then found a roach in the coffee maker. And then as we were packing up to move somewhere else, the kitchen sink started gurgling and then the whole room smelt like sewer. So glad we got another place to stay. I usually don’t write reviews, but don’t want anyone to have the same experience we had. It was by far the worst place I have ever been in for the price they are charging. Hopefully they clean up the place because it is a great location in dominical.

As Lonely Planet says, this property is sorely in need of an update. The grounds are nice, but in need of care. Rooms are badly in need of renovation. if you want backpacker accommodations at premium price, this is your place. We saw the original room and were ready to eat the cost of the hotel and go somewhere else. We accepted an upgrade, but were still underwhelmed. Breakfast was good.

The lady who checked us in was jovial and made the process hassle free. She escorted us to our room, which was a nice touch. The reviews mentioned to stay away from the standard rooms, so we did. Our room was clean, comfortable and basic — not too small; beds were comfortable and squeak free. Pool setting is nice for a night swim. On-site restaurant has good food, nice setting. Complimentary breakfast has a wonderful spread. Hotel is basically in the beach and in the center of Dominical. No need for a car because everything is in walk in walking distance. Only complaint: they had water issues — sometimes no water came from the shower or taps. This was a temporary issue we unfortunately had to experience — ask for extra towels.
