Great in-town location, close to beach and all amenities in Dominical. No frills, a little worn, but charming. Lovely breakfast, wonderful staff. Front desk went above and beyond to accommodate our late check-in.

Infested with bedbugs. I’m nice. I forgave them and offered to just refund my money because no way I pay to be infested with hundreds of bites. Anyone want to see disgusting? Happy to post some gross photos. The staff is sweet. The grounds are adorable. They are all nice besides obviously the absolute worst owner who couldn’t even apologize.
