Small, intimate place. The kitchenette was extremely well equipped and the staff want out of their way to be helpful It could use some cosmetic touches, but the rustic charm shone!

Very nice hotel, rooms were clean and beds super comfortable. Staff was super friendly and accommodating, would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Dominical. Within walking distance of the beach and downtown.

The garden is absolutely lovely, as is the staff. This quiet hotel on the edge of town is just what we were looking for.

Amazing location, steps from the beach! The staff are incredibly helpful and booked all my tours and transportation:) The hotel itself is quiet and peaceful with a communal kitchen (bonus!) and a beautiful courtyard to hang out in. Will definitely stay again.

Nice location and lovely, cool garden and covered patio. Beds pretty comfortable. Pay in cash only and no reception present after 6 pm. Breakfast not included. Would stay there again.

I stayed here just one night while passing through, and it was ok but I don’t think I would stay here again. The property garden and grounds were nice but the rooms were incredibly dated. On check in there was a mix up with my booking which apparently someone had inexplicably moved to the next day, the room I booked wasn’t available, luckily they had another room to put me in, but this took some time to sort out and wasn’t ideal. Also be aware that they only take cash, no credit card or other payments, which is annoying and the only place I stayed in Costa Rica like this. For 1 night it wasn’t a big deal, but for a long stay this could be a challenge. Overall I probably wouldn’t stay here again

Staff members were awesome, courteous and informative! Rooms were amazing! Amazing wildlife and property. To hear the crashing of the ocean waves from the room was so surreal and calming. Definitely the best hotel I've ever stayed at. 10/10.

10/10

Very clean rooms with A/C. Courtyard garden is well maintained. I especially enjoyed lounging in the hammocks. Amy is a great host giving guest a brief overview of the town hotspots and suggesting activities. Keeps contact info for taxis and also has bus schedules. She will even offer you a ride back to hotel if she sees you in town. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Dominical. Thank you, MTQ

The hotel is in decent shape. It is little rough on the edges, and needs a bit of "loving up" in the common areas. We like the location, thou Dominical itself could do with a good house cleaning. The beach is a bit trashed out, and the infrastructure is rather neglected. We probably will avoid the area in the future.

I was excited to stay here but the late bus didn't stop and I found myself in Uvita late at night after being on a bus since 9 am. I was stressed and exhausted. Amy from Tropical Sands was so kind to help me figure out what to do. She even recommended a place I could walk to in Uvita to stay the night. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty.

Easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed the sunrise at the beach. The Staff was super nice working with us for the late arrival and early departure. We just did a stop over and didn't explore the town. The room was clean, roomy and the shower has warm water.

10/10

Reasonably priced. Nice, quiet and tucked away from the main drag in Dominical. Not too far of a walk. Really nice interior garden area to relax in your hammock on the front porch of your bungalow. I stayed in one of the fan-cooled rooms. While it was basic, it fit the bill and was a restful place to lay my head. Stay here because you want to sleep among plants in the garden and get just outside the noise of dominical for a decent price.
