Barbara and Max were very nice, helpful, and attentive as needed. The place is comfortable, clean, and relaxing. The free breakfast was delicious and full of options (especially enjoyed the homemade granola and fresh fruits) I loved having our own little patio, table and chairs and hammock. It was a two minute walk to the beach and town, just down a quiet dirt road. Street Parking, just outside of the secure hotel area, was easy. I would most definitely stay here again. Pura Vida!

The breakfast is delicious, the pool is perfect, and the gardens afford lots of incredible opportunities to view birds and pollinators. We forgot our binoculars and Max lent us his to use during our stay! On my birthday, we saw a flock of fiery-billed aracari in a nearby tree and were able to watch them while enjoying our breakfast. Mavi is also conveniently located near the beach and surf break! Overall, it was all good vibes at Mavi and we cannot wait to visit again in the future! We cannot recommend this place enough!

It is small (just 8 total units), so it is quiet and peaceful. The owners are absolutely wonderful, so helpful and friendly for any concern or question we had. The location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk to the beautiful beach, and 5 more minutes to everything else in The Dominical main drag. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the pool is lovely. We looked forward to the fantastic breakfast every morning, just great. The only things we missed a bit were paper towels and facial tissues (not provided), but not. Big deal at all. The road next to the hotel is quite rugged, so be prepared to drive slowly and carefully on the way jn and out. But overall, just a magical place, and we will return as soon as our travel stars align. Love the Mavi, and you will too! ##### Jeremy Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 12 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the moment I arrived and checked in, the owners Barbara and Max made me feel welcome and at home. It was about an hour before posted check in time but they said, “no problem come on in.” Walking through the front gate is like being transported to a parallel universe where the form, function, aesthetic, and vibe of the environment and staff all work together in harmony to provide a stellar experience for the guest. The grounds are immaculate and the walk to my room was accompanied by a pleasant delivery of useful information by one of the hosts, Max. The room was exceptionally clean and well designed for space and function within that space. There seemed to be a place for everything so it was easy to settle in and easily find a place to put everything for access during my stay. Each room has its own little patio area out front with a small table/chairs for dining, two large relaxing chairs with cup holders, and a hammock for ultra relaxing. The landscaping provides a sense of privacy within an open shared pool area, which really adds to the comfort factor. House rules posted are to ensure a pleasant, relaxing, and safe stay for all guests. And for a property that is a ~mere 5 minute walk from the beach and main drag of a little beach/surf town, it’s nice to have this little microcosm of peace and quite so accessible to the “action” if and when one chooses to engage what’s available outside the serene space of Mavi Surf Hotel.

The property is small and a block from the beach. It’s nothing fancy but you’re not going to find fancy accommodations in Dominical, which is a small surf town. The room was clean and comfortable. We had air conditioning, a little kitchen and nice bathroom. The couple who own the property are absolutely delightful and very accommodating. They gave us suggestions for dinner and talked about the area. When we had an early snorkel tour, Barbara the owner made us a take away breakfast so we didn’t leave hungry. ##### Heather Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The owners went out of their way to make me comfortable and be a resource for me to have an easy and pleasant stay. Rooms were comfortable and clean, and had a porch space with a hammock and seating area. I’d definitely stay here again! ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JEAN-LUC 12 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort excellent séjour où tout était très bien avec des hôtes chaleureux ##### JEAN-LUC Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista Beach Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Beach-Villas.h21374429.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Glasgow City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Glasgow.h60053654.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hastings](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels.d4650.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Central Belfast Apartments: Citygate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Central-Belfast-Apartments-Citygate.h31564311.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cork City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cork-City-Centre-Cork-Hotels.0-n6205877-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nautilus Surf & Yoga Villas Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobano-Hotels-Nautilus-Boutique-Hotel.h4031983.Hotel-Information) > > [Insula Alba Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Insula-Alba-Resort-Spa.h10245892.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Dhërmi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhermi-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635998039723-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lochshiel caravans 1 Acharacle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acharacle-Hotels-Lochshiel-Caravans-1-Acharacle.h40191774.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Manchester City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-City-Centre-Manchester-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6192111-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Sicily-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d6048323-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Lincoln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d4678--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Titan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clydebank-Hotels-The-Titan.h15802615.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Erawan National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Erawan-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6119938-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cmb/bhx/colombo-to-birmingham) > > [Virgin Atlantic London (LHR) to Cape Town (CPT) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-heathrow-to-cape-town-intl/vs/lhr/cpt) ### Cars > [Car hire in Torrox Costa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Torrox-Costa.d6258341.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Mile-Old-Town-Edinburgh.d6129680.Attraction)
