"The Hotel Ballena Ray is a gem. While the overall vibe is laid back, the rooms are perfect for a long stay with kitchenette and other basic amenities. The breakfast is especially wonderful as is the staff. And the pool, though small, is wonderful and has a bar open in the late afternoon and evening. You can swim until 9PM, which is a nice bonus after a long day exploring the surrounding areas of Uvita, Ballena Marine National Park (5 minute walk from the property) and the surrounding areas....

"El hotel esta super cerca de la playa en una área muy bella exuberante de vegetación, picina super limpia, personal super amable. El desayuno formidable y un reconocimiento especial a Carlos en el lobby y a la muchacha de limpieza por habernos localizado lugo de salir porque había dejado documentos y tarjetas de valor, nos devolvimos y todo super ... super recomendación."

"We had such a wonderful time on our stay here. The host was great and very responsive before and during our trip.The house was perfect for our group of 5 people and the air conditioning was extremely nice (and worked well the entire trip). Our kids loved having the pool to jump in during the hot afternoons as well. Everything worked well (laundry, pool, a/c, kitchen supplies, etc.). We were also within walking distance to the grocery store and beach and restaurants."

Epic 1 BR Ocean View Villa. Dominical. Gated. Minutes to Dominical beach.

10/10 Excellent

"Pictures are accurate. Great view over Pacific. Quick access to Dominical for supplies and dining. Access from main highway is a 3-minute drive on somewhat steep and partially unpaved road. Very doable, especially with 4-wheel drive. We had a few question during our 10-night stay and the management company was easy to reach and responded quickly. We would absolutely stay there again."

"Wow, this experience was absolutely incredible. I am blown away! The property was perfect, and working with Gary as our concierge was the most extraordinary experience I have ever had while traveling. We were met with such kindness, rapid responses, answers to all our questions, and we were met above and beyond from start to finish. 10/10 all around, and I can’t wait to return!!!!!"

10/10 Excellent

"The house was excellent— beautifully decorated and well equipped. The owner and property manager were kind and helpful! They aren’t kidding about needing a 4-wheel drive. It’s steep! This was the perfect place to come home to after a long day of exploring the region. We loved it and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for a great time!"

Private suite 103 with beautiful gardens, shared pool and BBQ area!

10/10 Excellent

"The suite was much larger than we expected. Host was very responsive. While the suite is located beside a main road we did not notice road noise when we were inside the unit. The caretaker on site was very helpful with sorting out a taxi service for us. There is a supermarket across the road & the center of Dominical is a 5 minute walk away."
