We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villas Rio Mar for several reasons: 1) the grounds are beautiful, 2) access to a nice, clean pool, 3) sitting area outside of our room, 4) very good service, and 5) far enough, but not too far from town. The walk into town is about 10 minutes and it's a really nice walk. As... more

Villas Rio Mar is lushly landscaped with very private cabins with white flowing curtains welcoming you to your terrace, bar and lounge area. The bathroom is elegant and gorgeous and the bedrooms are large with storage shelves. The grounds are filled with tropical plants in bloom and even has a Ylang Ylang tree that perfumes the air. Wow We had... more

We spent one night at this resort in 2006. We chose it because it was convenient, clean and had a swim-up bar. After we arranged for rooms and stowed our luggage, we were ignored. The employee attending the pool bar couldn't be bothered with us because she was on the phone. We were not offered a dinner menu and had... more

We spent one night, 2 days overthere and after having seen the other hotels/lodges in Dominical, I would stay this is the best place to stay (there are top class hotels further down in direction to Uvita though). The garden and the swimming pool are great, very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are nice, not very big, but beds are... more

We had a superior room, it was clean and quite comfortable, with an efficient and quiet AC unit. Bathroom was OK,... more
