Travel Blogs from Dominical
Great place
Costa Paraiso in Dominical was fabulous! The beach was very nice and we had it all to ourselves! The food was excellent especially the tomato-spinach-mushroom pasta. There was also a cute cat named Mucha that lived at the resort.
In the nearby Manuel Antonio National Park, we saw lots of wildlife including birds, frogs and monkeys. Did you know 27% of Costa Rica is protected area?
Sailing
A relaxing day at sea today sailing along the coast of Costa Rica. Saw some sleek and slender brown birds smaller than a seagull with exceptional flying skills. They were cruising along the side of the ship keenly watching the ocean where the ship ploughed through the water disturbing the flying fish.

12. Don't put anything in the toilet except for what you do- do.
13. Don't stand under a knife rack during an earthquake ...
Contrasts and Differences
... see if they know what time the next bus is.. should be 1:30p no problemo.. I buy another water.. I finished the one I brought from home hours ago. Home will I ever get home? Wait some more.. swinging my feet, sitting on the bench... like it is still no big deal casually, without a care in the world.

“ love this place! ”
Reviewed Mar 10, 2011
Our family of 5 stayed here for 5 nights in March 2011 and totally enjoyed it! The location is beautiful, the food was amazing (Chef Bryce) and the service was great (Sandra!). The beautiful beach was all ours. We couldn't believe the value for the incredible experience.
