The Neighborhood:
Dominical is all of 3 streets, so finding your way around is an absolute breeze.

Besides the beach, which is absolutely magical at low tide if you are into beach walks, there are plenty of other activities to fill your days.

For restaurants, there is everything from micro breweries to sushi to local fare - there is something for everyone. There is an organic grocery store that will make you feel like your in a little Whole Foods (prices are not much different) and an ice cream shop with all organic products. Our favorite cafe is One Love Cafe which is where you will be getting your included breakfast from and right on the beach, complete with reggae vibes. We might be a little biased, but we stand by our biased-ness.

For kids there are surf lessons, Spanish classes, the outdoor park at the beach and the beach itself.

If you are a runner, beach runs during low tide is a quick loop, and you can run up river road and back for a 3-ish km loop.

All in all, Dominical is a holistic paradise with something for everyone.

Getting Around:
To get around Dominical the best way is to walk. Nothing is far and gratefully the roads are mostly paved, so barefoot is totally an option. There is also a place where you can rent bicycles in town, so let us know and we can reserve one for you for your day of arrival.

There are 4 bus stops in town and while there is a bus schedule it is on Tico Time - so anticipate a 10 minute delay *at least*, sometimes it does not even come. These buses can get you anywhere you want to go, from the neighboring town of Uvita all the way back to San Jose and over to the Caribbean Coast.

For any adventuring (read waterfalls, hikes, nature parks) you are most likely going to need a car. There is a rental car place in town and if you are looking for a deal please let us know and we will work to get you the best price.

There is beach parking out front of the property which is free for you to use. We also have more secure parking at our other building in town if that is a preference.

Other Things to Note:
Due to the amazing location of the property there will definitely be a lot more people in the vicinity on the weekends. If you enjoy nature walks and going to waterfalls the best days to do these things would be Monday through Thursday. Friday and Sunday are best spent lounging around the property enjoying the beach as the other attractions are usually flooded with tourists.

Interaction with Guests:
Your main point of contact, should you need help with any of the amenities or booking a tour or outing, will be our main receptionist, Nayeli. She will be happy to assist wherever she can.
