Top Dominical Hotel Reviews

Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"My first time out the country and this place was a dream everything I hoped for and more the entire staff was so helpful! And nice I will be returning"

Villas Alturas

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the property is amazing. The rooms were spacious and clean. We stayed at a 2BR room - both bedrooms had an AC so it was nice to have cool rooms during the hot and humid nights. There are many birds in the area - I saw the most colorful Tucans there. We also saw some wild monkeys. The property is up on the hill - you'd need a decent car with a good traction, ideally 4WD as parts of the uphill road is not paved. There's no big sign for the property from the main road, so if you're not paying attention, you'd miss the turn. (As we did several times!) The restaurant on the property is very nice, but the last order is 6:30pm, which you should note if you're arriving late. But there are plenty other restaurants in the area that are open late. The breakfast is served after 7:30pm. We had to leave earlier to catch some early morning activities - we asked the hotel about the breakfast box they offered on their brochure, but the person I spoke to didn't know what it was and we simply skipped breakfast on those days. If you're leaving early, you need to plan accordingly. The food they offered was very good - their coffee was particularly good! Everyone at the hotel was very nice and helpful. It was very quiet and peaceful at night - no parties while we were there. The maintain a very clean pool which my family enjoyed. There's a wildlife sanctuary near the hotel - it's only a 2-min walk up the hill. I highly recommend if you're staying at this hotel."

Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel so much it was comfortable and beautiful and the swimming pool is a dream come true. The service was excellent. The room was gorgeous. I slept like a baby. A wonderful wonderful property with gorgeous gardens and the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen flying."

Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Hummingbirds, right at my doorstep! Hummingbird garden Appreciative I had been upgraded by Alamo with a 4 x 4, taking me to the top of the mountain. I am in decent shape. I preferred walking the paths at the top of the mountain having ridden to those trail heads. This includes parking at the top and walking down to the overlook platform beautiful fuse So much cooler 10 to 15° perfect hiking weather never above 70°F and contrast with my days by the coast not humid not hot Bug spray would’ve been nice part for stormed with mosquitoes on the parts not at all Enjoy the location as well. Enjoyed and appreciated many other places to eat and walk within a few minutes drive"

Hotel Diuwak

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so helpful friendly and accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean comfortable bed and air conditioning. Breakfast was perfectly cooked daily 😊Swimming pool was a blessing and only two mins walk to beach highly recommend this as a place to stay very reasonable prices too. I will be returning thanks guys"

Tropical Sands Dominical Eco Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Note**** They are a cash business or they take Zelle (I missed that upon booking). This is a very charming, well-maintained, and secure property. We initially stayed in a cabina without air conditioning, but after the first night we upgraded to a room with A/C, which made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and excellent with communication throughout our visit. Our room was consistently clean, and the quality of the linens and towels was especially impressive. Amenities are minimal, so if you’re looking for features like a pool or in-room TV, this may not be the right fit. However, if you value a simple, clean environment with thoughtful, personalized service, this is a great choice. The location is very convenient: there’s a restaurant just across the parking lot, and the beach is only a 3–5 minute walk away. You’ll also find plenty of nearby restaurants, bars, and a grocery store within easy walking distance. We didn’t have a car and had no trouble accessing everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future."
