Dominical Places to Stay

The Dominical region encompasses a large area starting in the small surf town of Dominical and stretching all the way down to Ojochal – a small international community known for its restaurants and fine dining. In Between, you'll find accommodations in every price range. Most hotels and hostels are located in Dominical, Uvita or Ojochal, but you'll also find a variety of places to stay just off Route 34 as it runs along the coast.
