"Beautiful garden."

10.0

Lovely garden grounds and great restaurant; tbe shower was weak though and the water never really got hot. Our room was the farthest away from reception so very quiet. The staff were always friendly and helpful, inclucing helping us book the ferry to Nicoya. The breakfast had great choices on the menu also!

"Only resort in Dominical. "

8.0

It's a very nice location. A bit dated but has everything you need. Nice quiet cabanas that are clean and really decent sized. Pool area needs some upgrades. The 2 !!! sunning lounge chairs need to be junked. The restaurant and bar are very nice, and food is great. Breakfasts are top notch. Biggest complaint is the beds. Rock hard. Had terrible time sleeping. Couldn't wait to get home to my bed. We've stayed her two times this year and because of the beds it will be our last.

I highly recommend this place. It’s got lots of animals and is far enough from town to be totally quiet but close enough to walk.

Hotel grounds are beautiful and staff is very friendly. Would like to recognize a man named Joiner who worked in the pool bar and restaurant area. He is an outstanding employee who is extremely helpful and goes out of his way to get to know guests by name. A rare quality!

the property grounds are amazing and the rooms are spacious and clean. However, i would not be back - getting to the property there's a long stretch of a dirt-gravel road in such bad condition that we decided not to go in and out of the property just to avoid this bone-jarring driving expereince

This is a really nice property with a good restaurant on site. We loved our room and the property. The food was good. Our room was clean and quiet. We stayed 3 nights and it was very relaxing and fun. The hotel is located 1/2 mile down a very rough gravel road. This didn't bother us and we were glad to be out of downtown Domincal. We walked in to the beach every day. We would recommend this place for sure and would stay there again.
