Pros:

Colazione poco varia e lenta. Comodo il letto. Vicinissimo a dominical.

Cons:

Strada per l’accesso all’hotel piena di buche, sassi, è molto sconnessa, serve un 4x4 per percorrerla. La camera è piccola, e tutto l’arredamento è molto datato. Di notte non si vede dove si mettono i piedi nei camminamenti fra i lodge. La piscina grande è praticamente sempre occupata da bambini che schizzano.

We would come back again! We missed the free breakfast buffet though!
Pros:

Lots of fun things, good food, beautiful grounds, friendly staff, close to other activities

Cons:

The road there is quite bumpy and the terrain on the property is a bit strenuous. Easy shuttle transport to and from the center of Dominical a couple of time per day would be nice.

Super séjour à Dominical
Pros:

L’hôtel est situé dans un superbe parc avec les animaux évidement (toucans , iguanes etc). il y a même un petit trail à faire dans la propriété.
Les chambres sont très bien et propres dans de petits bengalows
Nous avons apprécié la localisation qui n’est pas directement dans le village mais au bout d’une petite piste (10 mn à pied - 2 min en voiture) au bord du fleuve.
Le personnel est très agréable et vous pourrez vous essayer au pickelball ! :)
Les 2 piscines sont très appréciables !

Cons:

Peut être le rapport qualité / prix du restaurant. C’est bon mais un peu cher.
Certains équipement pourraient être un peu rénovés par endroit.

Für eine Nacht okay.
Pros:

Traditionelles Frühstück, Garten, ausreichend Parkplätze;

Cons:

Zimmer mit etlichen Insekten - auch im Bett, Fenster im Bad konnte nicht geschlossen werden, alles ein wenig abgewohnt und schmuddelig. Der Sisalteppich, die Lichtschalter und die Fernbedienungen sind reine Bakterienschleudern.

Fijn verblijf
Pros:

Heel fijn hotel om even bij te komen tijdens de reis. Je kan hier gerust 2 dagen aan het zwembad liggen en niks hoeven.

Cons:

Het is wel aardig prijzig.
