The beautiful thing about Dominical is the small town. It has a lot of restaurants and supermarkets. It is also close to Uvita which is a national park and the beaches are really nice. Also close by to the Nauyaca falls. Dominical is a good beach for surfers
Perfect for young backpackers and hippie dippy types. Definitely has a Zen vibe with lots of young people about, but good for we 60+'s too. Very reasonable and convenient area to commute to many local/natural attractions.
Dominical is a lovely part of the Pacific coast. Once you get away from the main coastal road you discover wonderful scenery and wildlife. The waterfalls, reptile rescue centre, boat trips and many many outdoor activities can keep you busy for a month . From yoga to surfing you set the pace, Dominical will wrap you in nature and beauty scenery. We travelled as a couple but this area is great fro. families and groups of friends. I would recommend staying for 10 days. Pura Vida
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.
We were within walking distance of everything - the beach, the shopping, the food. The best food was right where we were staying so that was an extra bonus! The owners of La Junta couldn't have been any nicer and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay any more than we did; from the fruit bowl, the coffee, the beautiful room with our very own hammock to rest in, life was great!
We stop in Dominical on our way out to Corcovado. There was live music playing Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin and Country which was a surprise. It's a very American friendly hotel. Owner Ian was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. There was excellent food and a gorgeous sunset from the hotel bar. There were also iguanas in the tree right outside the bar!
The cabin was amazing with everything we needed and super comfy bed! There was outdoor kitchen too, free parking, hammocks, a pool (we did not use it as we spent all day in the ocean). Staff super responsive and friendly. Cannot recommend enough. Location on the map looks more remote but if you have a car you are at the beach/in town in 3 minutes.
our second time in this hotel! still a really nice place. it is very well located, just a few minutes walk to the beach and to a great surf spot. the included breakfast was really good! the pool area is absolutely stunning!
Beautiful view of the ocean, great location near the waterfall and the beach. Fully equipped apartment even with laundry and drying facilities. Everything was perfect.
Dominical
The location is not bad - close to the beach, but quite a walk from the main city, especially at night is not very great as no illumination on the street
The Staff was great, pool was amazing, and the property/ walking trails were beautiful. Plus it was close to the beach and town of dominical
Close to the beach and to town. Screens on the windows. A shared kitchen. Nice hammocks and outdoor spaces. The bed was comfy.
Close to beach, restaurants. Easy walks Lots of cool birds. Staff was excellent!
