Bamboo River House and Hotel, hotel in Dominical

Located in Dominical, 1.2 miles from Dominical Beach, Bamboo River House and Hotel provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

We loved the location. It’s close to the beach yet far enough from any noise. The sunset view was amazing from the pool. The rooms were emaculate. We had no issues with plumbing and hot water. The shared kitchen area was easily accessible and available. The host was friendly and welcoming. The bonus was the river across from the location which was also easily accessible by foot or car. We went to the beach, the river and the pool all in one day. We met some great people who were also guests. We love that it was a family run business.

Iguana Libre, hotel in Dominical

Located in Dominical, 28 miles from Manuel Antonio National Park, Iguana Libre provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

This place is paradise. We saw more animals here than anywhere else so far in Costa Rica. Even though it is just off the main highway, it is the jungle. The property is large, and full of trees. A troupe of monkeys comes to visit almost everyday. There are agouti, coati, iguana, toucans, hummingbirds, and at night, not far away, coyotes. There is an absolute symphony of nature sounds. The owner, Bettina, and her daughters, are lovely. The breakfast is great - fresh fruit, fresh buns, eggs, cereal, coffee. It kept us going all day. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Nauyaca Waterfalls, Marino Ballena National Park and the Uvita beach, Hacienda Baru nature trails, the Alturas Wildlife Sancturary, and more. There is a lovely swimming pool. We would do an excursion in the morning, and hang out by the pool in the afternoon. We were here for six nights, and had a fantastic time. Would definitely visit again.

Tree of Life Cabinas, hotel in Dominical

Offering an outdoor pool surrounded by an area with loungers, Tree of Life Cabinas is located in Dominicalito, between Uvita and Dominical and accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles only.

Beautiful location. It is a fairly steep dirt road going to property, however it wasn't a problem for us during the dry season. Room was comfortable. Enjoyed the nice pool & surrounding area. Plants were beautiful. Enjoyed watching the howler monkeys in the trees. Peaceful location.

Pacific Edge Eco Lodge, hotel in Dominical

Featuring sea views, Pacific Edge Eco Lodge in Dominical offers accommodations and a shared lounge. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

We stayed at the Eco Lodge condo. It's like brand new. We also went to the Lodge. Syd and Micah were so hospitable. They even made reservations for an excursion. This place is so cute, their rescue pets were very well behaved. The views were amazing, and you could hear the howler monkeys while eating breakfast! I definitely would recommend to anyone and want to go back!!

Villas Alturas, hotel in Dominical

Located in the Escaleras Mountains, Villas Alturas has an outdoor pool with stunning views of Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

Million dollar views from our two bedroom villa. The villa was right next to the pool but it’s a small enough property that no one was very loud and it made for a great view. The restaurant was fantastic as well and their free breakfast is a la cart with lots of options

    Although I loved Pacific Edge Eco Lodge and would definitely return, I found the little town of Dominical a bit off-putting. Seemed to be filled with aging gringos with no particular layout or planning. The beach was gorgeous though. Also, we visited Naucaya Waterfall, several miles from Dominical which was fabulous.

    Small place, very quite and relaxing. Nice beach in walking distance from any point of the town. Only few restaurants and one supermarket. If you look for more entertaiment, Uvita would probabaly satisfy you much more..

    Beautiful laid-back area with lots of things to do within an easy drive. Great beach area and a charming little town with lots of great places to shop and dine. We especially loved waffle fries at Fuego Brewing Company (and the cute treetop vibe), tacos at Hotel Rio Del Lindo, and homemade empanadas at Mama Toucans Natural Foods Store.

    Dominical is like Ubud or Goa in the 90s- a chilled yoga/surf town. Hippie yoga pants and hammocks are on sale in the shops; Mama toucans sells pretty much everything from vegan food, chocolate and cosmetics. The food here is phenomenal: Phat noodle is excellent, Fuego brews its own beer from passion fruit to a blonde lager and has an excellent menu, the Pescado loco is a small menu but omg the fish taco was sublime. The restaurants are laid back but are really world class food stops. Very close to nauyaca waterfall, the reptile Centre, Alturas and Uvita & whale tail. But the best part is the excellent yoga on offer at Danyasa, which has the most beautiful yoga shala I have ever been in. Rockstar yoga is also great- fab teachers & a lovely space. I loved this place. Super friendly - feels v safe for a female traveler. Quite a few long term residents & off-griders here

    If you love surfing, quiet beach town vibes.

    If you love surfing, quiet beach town vibes. This is your place. We surfed every day. It’s beautiful. Some great restaurants around too like the Thai place. We did yoga in the yoga place up the road too. And there’s an organic market ‘mama toucan’ where we got some yummmy food as I’m Gluten Free and dairy free and there was lots of options for me

    We loved the beach and there were lots of places to get a variety of food and drink. We loved the pineapple juice from the beach bar and also the milk shakes and frappe from the ice cream place just as you turn into Dominical from the main road. There was a lovely walk along the river road too.

    The manager Yeison was really helpful and made our stay really nice. Bed was huge and extremely comfortable! A/c worked extremely well and it was good to come back to the cool room after a day out. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of granola, fresh fruit and eggs, bacon, toast - perfect. Coffee & tea & cool water available 24/7 - perfect. Plenty of hot water. Pool refreshingly cool and area clean with shade. Good location just back from the beach; quiet at night too. Security guard on duty at night.

    Perfect for an overnight in Dominical when heading north to San Jose! This is no frills, but it is a fair price and very clean. Air conditioner blows clean and cold. Communal kitchen is nice to cook your own food. This location is very close to the beach. There is a small parking lot available. The front door security is very good. There is a small soda restaurant across the street.

    I loved so many things about it! I am traveling solo and I stayed here once before because it has a beautiful ocean view, you can hear the waves crashing on the beach, its private, its not to hard to get to, its very modern with everything you might need from your home a way from home. The hosts are lovely and attentive and very hospitable but not intrusive.

    This is a wonderful place to stay on the outskirts of Dominical. The property is gorgeous and all of the facilities (pool, restaurant, etc) are great. The room was perfect - clean and spacious, with a private outdoor seating area. The location is a pleasant 10 min walk from shops, ATM, etc. and 20 min to the beach. Will definitely come again.

    The view from the lodge is nothing short of stunning and the property is gorgeous. It's also conveniently situated within a short distance from several beautiful (and empty) beaches. Sid and Michaelynn are fantastic hosts: warm, friendly, and hospitable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious - well worth the extra fee. Highly recommended.

    The location of the hotel is great and you feel right at home thanks to the very kind owners! The room is nice and clean. Also the general vibe is very relaxed. At first the hot water in the shower didn't work but the owner fixed it immediately - so great service. Close to the beach - the most beautiful sunsets of Costa Rica.

    We moved to the Rio Lindo after leaving an airbnb that had no aircon and was just too hot to sleep in - we were pleased then when we arrived to a cool room with a super comfy bed! I'm not sure I'd stay for the long-term but it was a great overnight on our way down to Drake Bay and perfect for exploring Dominical.
