Many visitors have told us that they wished they have come here sooner rather than leaving it to the last stop; Dominical is more like 'the Costa Rica' they have imagined.

They talked of the wildlife and birds they encountered around their villas or in the Hacienda Baru Wildlife Refuge; about swimming with dolphins or spotting a humpback whale in the Ballena Marine National Park; about the waterfalls of Diamante or Nauyaca; about the beaches where they walked for hours without seeing anyone; about sunsets of unbelievable colors; and those who surfed at Playa Dominical wished they could stay here and surf forever. The residents, locals or expats, do not say much but whenever they went to San Jose or Guanacaste they came back with renewed appreciation for this area called Dominical.
