The staff is very nice. The grounds are beautiful. I love how family friendly it is yet peaceful environment at the same time. The pools are pretty and well maintained. The restaurant was good (not exceptional). The alcohol drinks were good - especially the owners favorite margarita. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the pool table.

Beautiful views. Spacious rooms and bed. Very homey and quiet atmosphere (except for bird song!). Proprietor was very friendly and welcoming and the food (both dinner and breakfast) were exceptional! A great break from the hustle and bustle!

Location was amazing, quick walk into the town of dominical but far enough away to feel like you’re staying in the jungle. The pool was refreshing to take a dip in after a day of walking around in the heat. We also saw some toucans during our stay!
Our room came with a very functional kitchen so we were able to warm up leftovers and save some money on meals as well. It has a full fridge, hot plate, coffee maker, blender and dishes/silverware/cookware.
Just an FYI: we did lose power during a rainstorm for a decent amount of time 1 night, which is at NO FAULT of the hotel as that’s just what happens in CR. But just being transparent for future travelers reading so there are no surprises.

This place is paradise. We saw more animals here than anywhere else so far in Costa Rica. Even though it is just off the main highway, it is the jungle. The property is large, and full of trees. A troupe of monkeys comes to visit almost everyday. There are agouti, coati, iguana, toucans, hummingbirds, and at night, not far away, coyotes. There is an absolute symphony of nature sounds. The owner, Bettina, and her daughters, are lovely. The breakfast is great - fresh fruit, fresh buns, eggs, cereal, coffee. It kept us going all day. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Nauyaca Waterfalls, Marino Ballena National Park and the Uvita beach, Hacienda Baru nature trails, the Alturas Wildlife Sancturary, and more. There is a lovely swimming pool. We would do an excursion in the morning, and hang out by the pool in the afternoon. We were here for six nights, and had a fantastic time. Would definitely visit again.

Beautiful location. It is a fairly steep dirt road going to property, however it wasn't a problem for us during the dry season. Room was comfortable. Enjoyed the nice pool & surrounding area. Plants were beautiful. Enjoyed watching the howler monkeys in the trees. Peaceful location.

Although I loved Pacific Edge Eco Lodge and would definitely return, I found the little town of Dominical a bit off-putting. Seemed to be filled with aging gringos with no particular layout or planning. The beach was gorgeous though.
Also, we visited Naucaya Waterfall, several miles from Dominical which was fabulous.

Small place, very quite and relaxing. Nice beach in walking distance from any point of the town.
Only few restaurants and one supermarket.
If you look for more entertaiment, Uvita would probabaly satisfy you much more..

Beautiful laid-back area with lots of things to do within an easy drive. Great beach area and a charming little town with lots of great places to shop and dine. We especially loved waffle fries at Fuego Brewing Company (and the cute treetop vibe), tacos at Hotel Rio Del Lindo, and homemade empanadas at Mama Toucans Natural Foods Store.

Dominical is like Ubud or Goa in the 90s- a chilled yoga/surf town. Hippie yoga pants and hammocks are on sale in the shops; Mama toucans sells pretty much everything from vegan food, chocolate and cosmetics. The food here is phenomenal: Phat noodle is excellent, Fuego brews its own beer from passion fruit to a blonde lager and has an excellent menu, the Pescado loco is a small menu but omg the fish taco was sublime. The restaurants are laid back but are really world class food stops. Very close to nauyaca waterfall, the reptile Centre, Alturas and Uvita & whale tail. But the best part is the excellent yoga on offer at Danyasa, which has the most beautiful yoga shala I have ever been in. Rockstar yoga is also great- fab teachers & a lovely space. I loved this place. Super friendly - feels v safe for a female traveler. Quite a few long term residents & off-griders here

If you love surfing, quiet beach town vibes.
If you love surfing, quiet beach town vibes. This is your place. We surfed every day. It’s beautiful. Some great restaurants around too like the Thai place. We did yoga in the yoga place up the road too. And there’s an organic market ‘mama toucan’ where we got some yummmy food as I’m Gluten Free and dairy free and there was lots of options for me

We loved the beach and there were lots of places to get a variety of food and drink. We loved the pineapple juice from the beach bar and also the milk shakes and frappe from the ice cream place just as you turn into Dominical from the main road. There was a lovely walk along the river road too.
The buffet breakfast was amazing each morning, the pool was cool and comfortable to escape the heat, the location was immediately at the beach. The staff are incredible, Jason specifically could not have been more helpful. Everything we could think of, from prompt laundry service to fresh towels for the beach, even boogie boards and chairs for the beach, were provided. They've really thought of everything, even a HUGE yoga deck and high-quality yoga mats provided for free.
Absolutely loved this place. You can easily (10 + min) walk to the Dominical beach and vibrant 'town center', allthough it feels very remote/secluded. Great room, good beds and kitchen. Very welcoming host. We visited on our way to Corcovado, it's perfect for a two-night (or longer) stopover to enjoy the nearby beaches. Nice restaurants and bars nearby. You can walk up the river and spot some wildlife as well.
Proximity to the beach, ensuite bathrooms, ability to do laundry, owner was accessible & responsive to small problems, amazing view and large sitting area outside, the outdoor yoga class located in the facility at the bottom of the hill the property is on. The games (we played Rummikub every night!) Stunning views, especially at dusk!
The view from the lodge is nothing short of stunning and the property is gorgeous. It's also conveniently situated within a short distance from several beautiful (and empty) beaches. Sid and Michaelynn are fantastic hosts: warm, friendly, and hospitable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious - well worth the extra fee. Highly recommended.
What a score! Dominical is a smaller town but a great option for a few days stay. The hotel includes a pool, a spacious bar/restaurant and hangout area (it even has a pool table) and lots of trees, flowers and birds. We were able to park our car at the hotel and walk everywhere. We'd definately recommend Rio Lindo Hotel.
I enjoyed the pools, the houses were nicely spread out, breakfast was good (not amazing), personnel was friendly . It was a good deal for the money and a beautiful location, even though a really bumpy road lead to the hotel itself. I enjoyed Dominical and it’s little shops and restaurants. Pool is nicely lit at night.
The hotel owner was extremely helpful and friendly. He gave us some great tips on where to go for everything we needed. They were also very accommodating that I was a bit late for check out. Hammocks outside in the common area were wonderful. Very close to the beach. Felt very secure.
Very cozy and nice beach hotel in beautiful Costa Rica. The beach is in walking distance and the staffs at the hotel are very friendly. We liked our short stay there and we would come back any time.
The pool has a good size for a little swim there. Thank you again for the nice stay.
I met some nice people. Dorm room is big. No bank beds, which I found nice. Location was fine, by the beach. Kitchen is very big and comfortable for cooking. Enough space for many people cooking at the same time. Staff are nice and helpful.
Conveniently located to Dominical , though the road is bumpy. Beautiful property, comfortable room, great value. A short walk to an excellent restaurant, the Crocodile Grill & Bar, located in the Hotel Villas Rio Del Mar.
Hotel was located on Main Street of Dominical. Walking distance from restaurants and beach. Nice pool, yoga mats, water and Oracle cards available for use. Very cute jewelry in reception area. VERY comfortable bed.
Just in front of the beach, this lovely hotel welcomed us for our last two days of holiday. Staff was amazing, Jeison really made the difference!
Great breakfast and coffee always available
older hotel with 8-10 rooms overlooking a pool and bar-restaurant. Good location in Dominical. Rooms are good size. Beds are older, not super comfortable. Bring bug spray.
Beautiful garden and 2 large swimming pools, large rooms, very clean, relatively close from Dominical main street/beach (15min walk). Excellent value for money
