“Go for the bar scene.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

The rooms are really meant for young surfers. For us older beach bums the bar is a wonderful respite from the midday soon. Also after spending all afternoon in the bar the rooms will look a lot better. Dominical is really a special place with really friendly people, even if you're not a surfer.

“Overpriced, don't expect too much”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Well, the view is nice, but the food is not, let's say it's ok, but, as I said, don't expect too much. The waiters seem to be very inattentive, and they refuse to do separate checks, which is very inconvenient if you want to eat here with a group.

“Clean room with beach view for $20”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

These guys are obviously catering to surfers, but a great restaurant/bar and good nights sleep for very little cash was pleasantly worth the diversion south - nice folks - the beach was great and for those seeking good surf it seemed to be here.

Room Tip: farther from the bar is obviously quieter

“Great Surfer-watching”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Just stopped here for a quick bite and refreshments after a fantastic day scuba diving with Mad About Diving. The place was jammed, mostly with surfers and what looked like longtime ex-pats. Good music and a great location with views of the surf. We waited a while for service as the place was jam-packed but the casual atmosphere encouraged a patient attitude. Food was good and we enjoyed the visit. Great place for a beer.

“Great for surfers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

The local bevy of ex-pats seem to hang out here. Good drinks on the bat but quite expensive. The place us right on the beach and oozes in authenticity. I know you have a 200 word minimum, but there isn't really much to add other than its a dumpy place with good expensive frozen drinks. If you're going to Dominical which I highly recommend it's a must.
