9.8/10 Exceptional! (7 reviews)

The place is absolutely lovely, right next to a beautiful river and surrounded by forest. In general it’s quiet, yet the music from the bar was a bit high at times. Breakfast was very basic. The cabin was very nice, generally comfortable but lacking cabinets to store our clothes. The cabin also was not super clean. I would certainly consider staying there again, but I think the price we paid was too high for the quality of the products, services and amenities received.

As we entered Domincal - we pulled off the road, parked in some sandy makeshift lot and followed the setting sun to the sea. Surfers were wrapping up their session as we sat and celebrated the end of the day on washed-up log on the shore.

Playa Dominicalito

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Playa Dominicalito during your trip to Dominicalito?

We were at the end of our Panama/Costa Rica trip and had actually just decided to cut it short because I was starting to feel sick. But we had this last hike to try out and I was just hoping both that I would feel well enough and also that our car would be able to make it back on the very steep gravel road back from the parking spot (after almost getting stuck around Monteverde earlier on the trip). As we’ve been getting used to we were first to arrive so we had this awesome place completely to ourselves for a little while in the morning before other tourists started to drop in. It really felt like a fairytale.
