Very nice hotel, rooms were clean and beds super comfortable. Staff was super friendly and accommodating, would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Dominical. Within walking distance of the beach and downtown.

Amazing location, steps from the beach! The staff are incredibly helpful and booked all my tours and transportation:) The hotel itself is quiet and peaceful with a communal kitchen (bonus!) and a beautiful courtyard to hang out in. Will definitely stay again.

The hotel is in decent shape. It is little rough on the edges, and needs a bit of "loving up" in the common areas. We like the location, thou Dominical itself could do with a good house cleaning. The beach is a bit trashed out, and the infrastructure is rather neglected. We probably will avoid the area in the future.

Staff members were awesome, courteous and informative! Rooms were amazing! Amazing wildlife and property. To hear the crashing of the ocean waves from the room was so surreal and calming. Definitely the best hotel I've ever stayed at. 10/10.

Amy was super helpful
I was excited to stay here but the late bus didn't stop and I found myself in Uvita late at night after being on a bus since 9 am. I was stressed and exhausted. Amy from Tropical Sands was so kind to help me figure out what to do. She even recommended a place I could walk to in Uvita to stay the night. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty.

Very clean rooms with A/C. Courtyard garden is well maintained. I especially enjoyed lounging in the hammocks. Amy is a great host giving guest a brief overview of the town hotspots and suggesting activities. Keeps contact info for taxis and also has bus schedules. She will even offer you a ride back to hotel if she sees you in town. Highly recommend staying here when visiting Dominical. Thank you, MTQ
