- Bajenova (8/5): it was a nice ecolodge as it was written on the internet - Great location near the beach, stores and the town. It has the beautiful garden that is well maintained, nice service people and the owners, small common kitchen I prefer white crispy bedding and towels, it was not there, no fridges in the room, no tv
- Eleni (9/5): - Nettes Personal, Tolle Einrichtung und super Lage
- Katja (7/5): Okay - Lage in StrandnÀhe und schöner Garten Ausstattung abgewohnt und teilweise kaputt (Bettgestell), Preis-LeistungsverhÀltnis nicht gut.

- Berube (9/5): -
- Marco (7/5): Con uno staff adeguato potrebbe dare maggiori soddisfazioni - La posizione Staff inadeguato , cucina per uso comune non molto pulita
- Aiga (9/5): -
- Jakomina (6/5): Upstairs a nice room, down stairs a smelly moisture room with a terrible mattress - Just outside the city, walk to the beach, car parking available.
The cleaning woman, the free workers who make all possible, they where so kind.
The hammocks The kitchen can be used but unfortunately there are very old pots and pans where the tefal is scratched fully and plastic boards to cut on, plastic old stuff. The PFAS are welcoming you.
The rooms upstairs are good, but the ones who are down are smelling moisture, the mattress was terrible.
Telling this to the owner and she didn't excused for this, only saying; what do you expect for this money? As if she is allowed to give you a smelly room.
- Huberth (10/5): -
- Manuela (2/5): Ugly place. I would not recommend staying here. - I stayed at Hotel Tropical Sands today and it was a very disappointing experience. The place looks nothing like the photos or the description online. The rooms are extremely outdated, with cheap furnishings and an overall neglected feel that makes the stay far from pleasant. Honestly, the whole place just left me feeling quite down.
On top of that, I was woken up at 6 AM by the loud noise of a nearby machine or motor, which made it impossible to rest properly. There is honestly nothing particularly appealing about this property, especially considering the price being charged.
- Feydel (9/5): -
- Ruth Elena (9/5): -
- Christa (9/5): Nett Unterkunft in StrandnĂ€he; viele gemĂŒtliche Bars und Restaurants zu FuĂ erreichbar - Tolle Lage mitten im GrĂŒnen; WaschbĂ€ren waren abends zu Gast auf der Terrasse :-) NĂ€he zum Strand sowie zu den Bars und Restaurants; langer, naturbelassener Strand fĂŒr SpaziergĂ€nge; zum Schwimmen aufgrund der Strömung und der hohen Wellen nicht geeignet
- Octavio (10/5): -
- Elsabe (9/5): Will choose to stay there again. - Very very central. Loved the uniqueness of the place. Would have liked the rooms to be cleaned every day. Especially if you have to put your toiletpaper in bin.đ
- Cristina (9/5): Buen sitio y bien ubicado - En general, bien. Los utensilios de la cocina de nuestra habitaciĂłn no estaban suficientemente limpios.
- Obando (10/5): -
- Sabine (7/5): - De leuke, ongedwongen sfeer. Het was jammer dat er geen zwembad was. En de keuken was erg klein en beetje groezelig.
- Chandler (10/5): -
- Raoul (6/5): 1 or 2 nights - Location is perfect, just a 2 minute walk from the beach. There's a shower outside to shower off the sand from the beach. There are a few hammocks in the garden that you can use, also 2 fridges for your food, a kitchen that you can use. Staff (kind staff) responding is fast by app and checking in early was not a problem at all. Access to gate is good and 24/7 available. The bed was real saggy, a bummer. There were insects in the room when we arrived, maybe the previous guests left te door open much, or it could be because of a hole in the mosquito screen in the shower. There were actually several feces on the floor from lizards (they'll always find a way in your room).
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Great Price, Great Rooms, Friendly Staff
- Kate (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shannon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (3/5): Overall, it was very unpleasant and honestly would not return to this place. - They didn't come to clean the room or take out the garbage. The water heater gave me an electric shock while using it. The bed was uncomfortable, woke up with back pain.
- Tiffany (9/5): Superb -
- Alison (8/5): An authentic little spot - While we only stayed one night, the hammock and the shared kitchen and lounge area made it seem like a place that would be fun to hang out for a bit. The bed and sheets were clean and comfortable. Our room seemed to be on the edge of the property and there were some dogs barking and truck noises at night/in the early morning. Our room also seemed to be filled with mosquitoes despite having screens on the windows. Perhaps there came in while the room was being cleaned. The good news is that the strong fan seemed to keep them off us while sleeping.
- Jemma (6/5): Pleasant -
- Mark (8/5): Had a nice stay - Great location for exploring the area Having to leave
- Brazil (10/5): Exceptional - Enjoyed our stay at Tropical Sands! A quiet place in a more secluded area, but still close enough to walk to the main areas in town, felt very safe staying here. It was nice to have a communal kitchen and resources for any activities to book. Our AC stopped working momentarily and staff was very quick in fixing it for us and had no other issues!
- Jwh (10/5): Exceptional - Located conveniently across from a long, deep, beautiful beach with huge rolling waves, a 2 minute walk to a good supermarket, and just a short walk to the main streets, this is a perfect location. It is set in a lovely tropical garden with many musical birds to enjoy.
The grounds are kept very clean and tidy, as are the simple yet comfortable rooms. Staff are warm and welcoming. We had a lovely patio amongst the treetops to enjoy our morning coffee and evening relaxation.
- Christopher (9/5): Short stroll from the beach - The best thing about the accommodation is that is walking distance from the beach. The rooms were basic but covered what we needed and the garden area offers a tranquil space to relax. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating over both of our stays.
- Corey (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rachel (7/5): Great location and beautiful gardens. - Great walkable location. Gardens were beautiful and loved the hammocks as well as the shared kitchen. No AC in some rooms. There was some confusion because the property says there is AC. Beds were uncomfortable.
- Zuñiga (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (8/5): Good experience overall - Clean rooms and comfortable beds, nice location near to the beach Bathroom was a little small
- Cornelia (8/5): Super friendly staff! - Position Nothing
- Gary (8/5): Great value for money for a good location and facilities - Relaxed, access to kitchen and facilities, fridge, sitting out area. Adjacent to laundry and cafe to have breakfast. Short walk to the beach and to El Coco restaurant. Bed not very comfortable
- Samantha (5/5): Expensivefor crummy mattress and no services. Cash?! - One block from beach. Cats and dogs on property. Very expensive for what it was. Extremely basic room. Bad mattress. Had to pay cash. No pool.
- Marcella (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melanie (10/5): It was everything we needed: quiet, relaxing and just steps from the surf. - Beautiful microclimate created by all the trees and lush plants, drawing local birds and butterflies. Truly a lovely place. Nothing
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Donna (10/5): Exceptional - It was peaceful and the staff were very accommodating. The neighbor dogs barking early in the morning
- Lee (8/5): Enjoyable stay! - The owners and the staff (and 2 cats) here were all exceptional!!! They truly made our stay! They could provide a wealth of information for the area. We loved the tropical courtyard and hammocks for relaxing! It was an added bonus to have a small kitchen and 2 full fridges to share with the other guests, for snacks or breakfast foods (with a big market only one block away) and coffee making! Very quiet, and close to the beach for exceptional Dominical sunsets. Great walking distance to be close to all Dominical has to offer! We thoroughly loved our experience at Hotel Tropical Sands! The only thing we would recommend is an update to the foam mattresses in our particular room.
- Eleanor (10/5): Perfect stay in beautiful Dominical - The location canât be beaten - steps away from the most beautiful beach, restaurants and cafes. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a really relaxing stay! Air con is a bonus and hot showers were great. We had a private double room with air con, and it got the job done. Basic, but super clean and perfect for what we needed. Come here to relax not to party - we did just that.
- Antonia (9/5): Superb - Lovely lounge area in the hotel with hammocks. Great value for money. While some of the staff were really friendly and helpful, some were very unfriendly.
- Kathleen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kenneth (9/5): Superb -
- Morrow (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisette (8/5): Very good -

- Anna (8/5): Very good -
- Kyle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maya (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was awesome. Great to have that little communal kitchen available and the hammocks! NA
- Emolema (10/5): Exceptional - Just outside the more "busy" parts of town, beautifully located and very relaxed vibe. Payment in cash. Not a practical issue as we had sufficient cash and received prior notice, but still less convenient than card payment.
- Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johnny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tony (9/5): Superb -
- Jeannette (10/5): Would definitely return! - We loved our stay in this tranquil setting! We booked 3 nights and decided to extend our stay. We learned that many others did the same. The room, the garden, the kitchen and sitting area were all great! Just an overall comfortable place with good energy. The staff were awesome as well! Great location with just a short walk to the beach and town. Also the convenience of a restaurant and laundry right across the road.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Wendi (9/5): Superb -
- Reader (8/5): Very good - friendly and informative staff Very basic rooms, but priced to refelect.
- Kathryn (8/5): Basic but adequate, great location - Very basic room with a fan but it did the job for one night. The fan was good and we didnât need air con. Itâs got a kind of hostel vibe so Iâm glad we only had one night as itâs not our style of accom, but the room was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Great location, just a short walk to the centre.
- Snir (7/5): Good -
- P (1/5): Bad - Hotwater and quiet Basic not a hotel more like a hostel
Very basic
Worst sheets and pillows the whole trip 5 hotels
It needs some some serious upgrading
Honestly avoid $80 there has to be better value.
Plus owner was hassling me to pay cash the moment I booked. "Find an atm" is what he told me.
AVOID THE RATING DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT A DUMP THIS IS!
- Isabella (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pascale (9/5): Superb - We liked the hammock that gave some privacy, the green areas, the sitting area at the lobby, everything was beautiful. One of the house cats stayed the night. It was cute. I felt bad that leaf cutters we're shopping Up plants
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - Love the location love the setting. Staff is great room is clean.
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional - This is not a fancy hotel but we just loved the grounds and the atmosphere. We will likely come back for one more night after we visit friends up north. Loved the kitchen area!!
- Derek (1/5): Worst experience Iâve had in a long time. - Location is good. Close to shops and the beach. Soon as it was dark. The bugs came out from everywhere. They were all over the beds the walls. So many thatâs all you could hear! The exposed wiring above the shower head blew my mind! If water hits that in any way youâre going to be severely electrocuted! Extremely unsafe! Nicely told the staff about it and they didnât seem to concerned. They offered to put me in a room with AC instead. Such a bad experience in the twelve hours I was there I had to leave. Feeding of all the cats on all the counter tops was definitely the icing on the cake.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice and comfortable place in Dominical. I can recommend.
- Suzanne (8/5): Very good -
- Yannick (4/5): Disappointing -
- Carson (7/5): Good - Close to the beach and to town. Screens on the windows. A shared kitchen. Nice hammocks and outdoor spaces. The bed was comfy. No hot water in the showers. Had to bring dirty towels to the front, which was hard to carry with luggage. Room is left open with keys in the door if arriving late, which doesnât seem very safe. The host was young and didnât speak Spanish, and seemed to be the only person on site, which seemed unsafe as well.
