    It is not modern building and his services is like "old school". If you used to join hotel 3 or 4* it is not the case.

    the bed size, and the location almost front the beach and the informal treatment of the staff: is like a very familiar hotel

    It was a bit over priced and the pool was too dirty. It looked a bit better on the pictures than it did in real life.

    The breakfast was super nice and the location was great. The room was very spacious and the shower was nice.

    Rooms small. Had no were to put close. No Chair or hooks to hang towels. No table lamps. Breakfast was same every day, would have liked a change up. Got boring for 9 days. Pool could have been cleaner. Lots of ants everywhere

    Close to beach. Breakfast. Staff was very nice.

    Shower outside the pool was not working so we could not take off the sand from the beach before entering the swimming pool nor our rooms. There was NO hot water in one of the two rooms we took. Staff could not explain the reason for it. That same room (located in the ground floor) was much less comfortable than the other one we got on the floor just above. It was a very dark room, with no windows, the only daylight came from the glass front door, hence exposing the whole room to outsiders. The bathroom of that room needs restructuring. There’s no table or any time of space to place personal toiletries. The bathroom had an awful smell of rotten, probably due to some previous water infiltration. This was pointed out to the staff who seemed surprised but did not come to check it out.

    Breakfast was ok, enough variety and acceptable quality. Staff was friendly. Location of the hotel is optimal, right in front of the beach.

    Cleanliness of sleeping rooms was lacking. We were there for 4 nights and it seemed they did not clean our bathroom, other than empty the trash can.

    Location, breakfast and service was good. Bed was comfortable. Had a pool with lounge chairs.

    If you don’t like noise, may be better not to stay on. Saturday

    We had a room with fantastic comfortable bed. Hotel has coffee / tea available during the day. Excellent breakfast. Located opposite beach and near restaurants. On Saturdays there is a surf competition which was great to watch.

    A couple of cockroaches in our room. Lights didn't all work so the room was dark. Air conditioning leaked so we had to move our clothes rail forward so our clothes didn't get wet. One of the floor boards in our room was broken, we moved a mat ov er it so we didn't cut our feet.

    Location is close to town and on the beach. Staff are friendly. Board games available to play. Breakfast is provided.

    I would recomment that they should have television in the room, and a garbage collector as well...beside let the people know that the parking lot it is not inside the property...it is in front of the place...however they indicated that they have a person to take care of the cars during the night.

    The place was in front of the beach...everything was nearby.

    Good value for a beach weekend and staying up late.

    My fault for not reading closely, but I was surprised to find no tv in the room. My room was quite small. Hot water in the shower was hit or miss. There's a bar really close next door with live bands on the weekends, and you're not going to sleep until they finish. No problem if you're staying up late. The music was good.

    This is a "budget hotel" kind of situation. If you're looking for something right on the beach because you're going to spend most of your time on the beach, it's perfect for you. The staff is laid back and friendly, you can buy snacks and booze pretty much 24/7. The pool is nice. Bonus if you're with friends or family, there's a large stock of board games and other diversions. Strong internet. Good breakfast buffet. Dominical is very small, but know that this is about as far away as you can get from "town center." Come here for the beach right in front of you. The walk from town center at night is really dark.

    The ceiling fan began to make noise in the middle of the night. Would've been nice to have a simple ice bucket like many hotels have, as the area was humid and we drank so much water.

    The location is excellent. The breakfast is excellent, truly excellent. Best pineapple I've ever had. The cooler in the lobby with Powerade, Pepsi, water, and beer was a life saver. The cat in the lobby was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The WiFi was good.
