Definitely the best hotel I've ever stayed at. 10/10. ##### Adrian ### 8/10 Good #### John 19 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is in decent shape. It is little rough on the edges, and needs a bit of "loving up" in the common areas. We like the location, thou Dominical itself could do with a good house cleaning. The beach is a bit trashed out, and the infrastructure is rather neglected. We probably will avoid the area in the future. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to the beach on a quiet side street with lots of restaurants in walking distance.

I was stressed and exhausted. Amy from Tropical Sands was so kind to help me figure out what to do. She even recommended a place I could walk to in Uvita to stay the night. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 1 Apr 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### OK, but very dated rooms I stayed here just one night while passing through, and it was ok but I don’t think I would stay here again. The property garden and grounds were nice but the rooms were incredibly dated. On check in there was a mix up with my booking which apparently someone had inexplicably moved to the next day, the room I booked wasn’t available, luckily they had another room to put me in, but this took some time to sort out and wasn’t ideal. Also be aware that they only take cash, no credit card or other payments, which is annoying and the only place I stayed in Costa Rica like this. For 1 night it wasn’t a big deal, but for a long stay this could be a challenge. Overall I probably wouldn’t stay here again ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TOROLF 1 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### YES, a friendly clean place on Dominical beach I have been through Dominical several times before and only stayed once overnight in a place away from the beach town since most of the hostels there look quite shabby. This is changing with the Tropical Sands. Even if some things are currently a bit "under construction ", many things have been improved already. Many travellers in CR will have had the experience of moist-feeling , smelly pillows, which is something that happens in this climate over time. Tropical Sands probably have the freshest pillows and mattresses in town at the moment. The rooms are basic, yes, but rooms and beds are clean and definitely provide for a good night's sleep. If you get to know the owners, you may start to feel like home! Maybe most important : the new owners are working hard every day to make this a great place to stay, so by the time you read this review, things have already happened. I will definitely be back here to see how it has developed. ##### TOROLF ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gutes Hotel, alles in Gehdistanz Praktisches Hotel mit grossen Zimmern an einem wunderschönen Ort! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Malte 23 Jun 2022 Liked: Staff & service Staff was very helpful ##### Malte Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### andrea 13 Jun 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities A great place for a sleepy beach town, close to everything and a lush courtyard!

We enjoyed the sunrise at the beach. The Staff was super nice working with us for the late arrival and early departure. We just did a stop over and didn't explore the town. The room was clean, roomy and the shower has warm water. ##### Sylvia Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mirna 29 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities They had no tv, parking was limited ##### Mirna Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 27 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Reasonably priced. Nice, quiet and tucked away from the main drag in Dominical. Not too far of a walk. Really nice interior garden area to relax in your hammock on the front porch of your bungalow. I stayed in one of the fan-cooled rooms. While it was basic, it fit the bill and was a restful place to lay my head. Stay here because you want to sleep among plants in the garden and get just outside the noise of dominical for a decent price. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super location in Dominical, everything is in walking distance. Ken and Amy were very welcoming and happy to share their knowledge of the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff 13 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort What a great property, beautiful setting in the trees, it's much more lush than the picture shows! Amy and Ken are great hosts! It's a 2 min walk to the beach, and everything in town is within 10-15 min walk. They also have a little communal kitchen you can use. They will also help you book any excursions and give advice on what to do, where to eat, etc. ##### Jeff Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Ramona 8 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beach Vibes Perfect little Hotel, just steps away from the beach. Simply Cottage style accomodation surrounded by a backyard full of plants and flowers. Great to chill and relax. There are some hammocks in the garden and places to sit in the green. All you need is within walking distance. Amy and Ken were friendly and hearty hosts. ##### Ramona Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris 19 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice garden like property. Tropical Sands hotel was a nice quiet spot pretty close to the beach. The property is like staying in a garden. And there's a communal refrigerator to keep your drinks cold as well as a hammock in front of each room. We could hear the howler monkeys in the morning and got to see some scarlet macaws. The beach is only a 3 minute walk away and the town is about 7 minutes walking. ##### chris Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Buena Vista Beach Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Beach-Villas.h21374429.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Manchester-Media City UK by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Manchester-Media-City-UK.h3795017.Hotel-Information) > > [Oludeniz Beach Resort by Z Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Oludeniz-Beach-Resort-By-Z-Hotels.h4875430.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Surf & Yoga Villas Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobano-Hotels-Nautilus-Boutique-Hotel.h4031983.Hotel-Information) > > [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h31625462.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.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) > > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Antalya Region](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Region-Villas.d6046791-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels.d5624.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bradford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bradford-Hotels.d4981.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Blue!
