Just had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tropical Sands. The owners, Amy and Ken, set a great tone and the staff follow their laid back yet friendly, helpful, and attentive way. Marta, Loren, and Claire are welcoming and interesting people. The hotel setting is really cool. Walking through the gate you’re transported to a jungle vibe with birds chirping and amazing vegetation that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a rain forest despite being adjacent to the beach and a short walk to the town center. The restaurant across the street quickly became a favorite. The rooms are efficient and exceptionally clean. Looking forward to staying there again.

The hotel has a good location but the AC wasn't working, we switched room and the mattresses were old and uncomfortable . The commun fridge and kitchen are also old and a little dirty... very stinky dogs that come staring at you while you eat makes eating there a little unpleasant even though it's nice to cook food. The prices in Costa Rica for food is insane. The owner hire unpaid staff in exchange for accommodation, the ones that were there at the time were very nice.

Aaaww... Tropical Sands Hotel! What a beautiful spot... loved the ambiance and was very close to Dominical beach, about 3-4 minutes walk. Rooms were clean with hot water, and the a/c was functioning properly. Internet was a bit jumpy... Amy, the host, was awesome, very well organized. She showed us good spots in Dominical with lots of information about restaurants, stores, the beach tides, and many adventures/excursions/activities around Dominical. Thank you so much for that wonderful experience at your place. I had a great time! Pura Vida! ☀️🌊🌴

I got to stay at this little hidden gem for 3 nights. The owner, Amy, is absolutely amazing to work with. Her staff (Cassia and Patty, and Alice (the maid) are all so nice and responsive to whatever you need. The room is super comfortable and I sleep like a rock there. The community kitchen option is great as well. It's a short 3 minute walk to the beach and the entire town is walkable. The staff can guide you wherever you need to go. I highly recommend it.

A perfect stay in Dominical. I absolutely loved Dominical and Tropical Sands was an amazing little hideout close to the beach. The garden was very peaceful, natural area with several chill out spots amongst the shade of the trees to observe and listen to sound of the birds. Amy was incredibly helpful and friendly from the time of booking, all the way through my stay up until the moment I left. I was grateful for her energy and efforts she made to share local knowledge for me to make the best time of my stay. I would really like to return to Tropical Sands to stay again.

A fab place to stay in a fantastic setting. Owners and staff are brill and are very helpful, they can't do to much for you. The facilities are as advertised and allow for great interaction, if you want, with other guests.

The hotel was perfectly situated near the beach and within walking distance of the main area of town. This provided a quiet and safe place to launch my daily explorations. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The commons area was very warm and inviting and where I met a number of really awesome people. The staff helped me with ideas for dinning and activities, all of which were excellent! Staying at Tropical Sands Hotel made me want to buy a place nearby. I would stay at this hotel any time I visit Dominical, which I hope to do again soon. Simply the best.

We stayed here for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect, just outside the centre of Dominical, quiet but close to everything you need and just a one minute walk to the beach. Waking up to the sound of birds , waves and distant monkeys. We loved Dominical, it's calm vibe and pretty beach, the waterfalls close by were perfect places to hide from the afternoon heat. Breakfast is not included but the pancakes and fruit plates at the little café just outside the hotel garden was great.
