DINING AROUND DOMINICAL

DINING AROUND DOMINICAL

 
Three generations of our family came to spend a week together at Caballitos del Mar. It was fantastic. We had a great time sampling all of the local adventures from zip lining to the national parks. The house was great with three suites for the three family units and the pool was a special hit with all. It’s a great place to relax or to adventure out.

We decided to extend our stay last minute and felt lucky to find this house, ON THE BEACH, just south of Dominical. We stayed with our daughter and son in law for 3 nights in early May 2024 and had our house - one of three in this location - to ourselves. The location and house were perfect for us. Long walks on a nearly deserted beach, pool was great to lounge at the end of the day, well-located within close proximity of Dominical and Uvita for restaurants and provisions. Grilled fish and fresh veg one nite for dinner-grill was clean & worked perfectly. Kitchen is well-equipped, had everything we needed. On-site hosts were on top of it, making sure everything was clean and lined-up every morning, but not obtrusive. My only comment would be that it would be nice if an AC unit was installed in the dining/kitchen area to cool the downstairs main area of ​​the house. The house at this time of year can get hot inside; we kept the AC units on in the bedrooms with doors open and fans working and it helped greatly. All in all, a great experience - we would come back! Thank you!

We were a family group of 8 people ranging from 53 down to 15. This house was perfect for us, very spacious, lots of room by the pool, great size pool with perfect temperature. We went to a great New Year’s Eve party at Fuego brewery (reservations required), took a snorkel trip out of Uvita that the hosts helped book, went to Manuel Antonio (an hour north), hiked to waterfalls (very close by, short drive ). Hosts also helped us with car rental from the airport. Fantastic trip, great house, so nice being right on the beach, very easy drive into Dominical for food and groceries, and also easy to walk there along the beach.
