We booked here as a result of an emergency (the placed we booked was not available and we had no where else to go). We were a large group. The manager was nice and was able to accommodate 3 rooms for our group. A bit overpriced, but it was a holiday week. The breakfast was very good. I wish they... More

My partner and myself stayed here twice on our recent trip San Jose to Panama and return. We've stayed in Dominical a few times before, but this time, I wanted to try the DooWack! We did think it a bit expensive considering current occupancy rates.. but we took our chance on the way down. Very quiet grounds, and romantic pool... More

Upon our arrival we were greeted with a very run down Hotel with a very sketchy vibe. There were surfer dudes and surfer chicks all over the place, and one guy laying passed out in his room after smoking marijuana, the smell was thick in the air. The beach is close, but we didn't feel safe their either. I will... More

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night while touring CR. We found Dominical a little disappointing - aside from the beach there is not a lot happening, the only place with any life was a bar at one end of the village that seemed to be full of, and run by, American expats, which is not really what...

I stayed there over christmas 2012 and it was a total nightmare. When i checked in the manager demanded all the money, in cash, upfront. Later in the day this 'manager' was deeply offensive to me when i complained about the pool being out of order - once again. its clearly been 'out of order' for several years judging by... More

Considering the cramped, small size of Dominical, Hotel Diuwak felt like a spacious garden in the middle of chaos. We wanted to be near the beach and beach-front restaurants, which we were. Our room was adequate--The bathroom was spacious, water in the shower was hot, and the bedding was colorful and new. However, the room was so small that we... More

We booked Hotel Diuwak despite reading some negative reviews, we enjoyed our stay but there are defintely some negatives. Firstly the rooms are outdated and could do with being modernised, our room seemed too small for a double and single bed - with suitcases too we had very little space to move. The pool is lovely but the pool area... More

I was travelling on my own and found this hotel a restful retreat after having had an intruder in my room in the previous hostel I had stayed in. The manager went out of his way to make phonecalls on my behalf when pickups were late and to ensure that all was good for me. The room was good with... More

We checked in and the receptionist promised us that the rate we were given would include breakfast. The next morning we had an average breakfast. At the end of our meal, the waiter asked us for a breakfast ticket which should have been given to us by the receptionist. I went back to the receptionist to inquire about the breakfast... More

Had a fantastic stay here, staff was super helpful (I kept locking myself out of my hotel room) and very friendly. The place was peaceful with plenty of monitor lizards around and some well kept gardens. This place is located at the more southern part of "main street" Dominical and only about a 2 minute (if that) walk to the... More
