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 ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew Apr 1, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### OK, but very dated rooms I stayed here just one night while passing through, and it was ok but I don’t think I would stay here again. The property garden and grounds were nice but the rooms were incredibly dated. On check in there was a mix up with my booking which apparently someone had inexplicably moved to the next day, the room I booked wasn’t available, luckily they had another room to put me in, but this took some time to sort out and wasn’t ideal. Also be aware that they only take cash, no credit card or other payments, which is annoying and the only place I stayed in Costa Rica like this. For 1 night it wasn’t a big deal, but for a long stay this could be a challenge. Overall I probably wouldn’t stay here again ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TOROLF Nov 1, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### YES, a friendly clean place on Dominical beach I have been through Dominical several times before and only stayed once overnight in a place away from the beach town since most of the hostels there look quite shabby. This is changing with the Tropical Sands. Even if some things are currently a bit "under construction ", many things have been improved already. Many travellers in CR will have had the experience of moist-feeling , smelly pillows, which is something that happens in this climate over time. Tropical Sands probably have the freshest pillows and mattresses in town at the moment. The rooms are basic, yes, but rooms and beds are clean and definitely provide for a good night's sleep. If you get to know the owners, you may start to feel like home! Maybe most important : the new owners are working hard every day to make this a great place to stay, so by the time you read this review, things have already happened. I will definitely be back here to see how it has developed. ##### TOROLF ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendall Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Kendall Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Line Jan 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Line Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Larry Jun 25, 2024 ##### Larry Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Els Nov 23, 2023 ##### Els Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gutes Hotel, alles in Gehdistanz Praktisches Hotel mit grossen Zimmern an einem wunderschönen Ort! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Malte Jun 23, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Staff was very helpful ##### Malte Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### andrea Jun 13, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities A great place for a sleepy beach town, close to everything and a lush courtyard!

We enjoyed the sunrise at the beach. The Staff was super nice working with us for the late arrival and early departure. We just did a stop over and didn't explore the town. The room was clean, roomy and the shower has warm water. ##### Sylvia Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mirna May 29, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities They had no tv, parking was limited ##### Mirna Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Surrey](https://www.expedia.ca/Surrey-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d9759-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Curaçao](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6143269-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [New York Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York.d178293.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Downtown-Toronto.dx6057934)
