Location is superb! Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shopping. Pool was also nice. The property could use updating and repairs. Room was average and very dark with one window. The room bedding definitely needs updating. A/C worked great. Priced a bit high, but overall had a good stay and can't beat the great location.

The beach is quite rocky. The pool isn’t very clean full of debris and bugs from the trees. The wifi cuts out often. The rooms are super small, very dated and the “standard room” does not come With a fridge. The restaurant is also grossly overpriced for a salad.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very friendly and helpful at check in ((Alexander ✔️). The pool was lovely and the location is great for the beach and walkable into main area for multiple restaurant choices I was very disappointed that there was no WiFi in my room and I had to leave my area to use my phone. I would have appreciated being able to access WiFi in a cool room instead of intense heat outside. Some rooms were within range of WiFi so you may want to request if needed. I couldn’t adjust the shower temp as the control was out of my reach…..and I’m 5’4”. The music from the pool area bar kept me awake most of the night but possibly this is a weekend issue.

Average hotel, but good for the area
Not bad, but not great. Pretty good for being by Dominical beach. Aren't many options. The rooms are very basic and dated. The grounds are okay. Restaurant is okay. Very short walk to the beach. Also not far to the main shopping area. So it's convenient.

May be years ago the property was nice, but now the territory is dirty, the wooden tables in restaurant are black of dirty. We have stayed three nights, and nobody cleaned the room and changed the towels, but the envelope “for tips” was laying on the table from the first day. Mattress on the bed was collapsed, sleeping in this bed was like sleeping on the floor. We were unhappy choosing this hotel and don’t recommend it to anybody. We have stayed in different hotels in Costa Rica, and this one was the worst.
