Hotel Villas Rio Mar

A garden retreat with the Pacific within reach

The sound of a nearby river and tropical greenery give Hotel Villas Rio Mar a distinct rhythm in Dominical. Budget-friendly bungalows, rooms and villas sit amid the gardens, creating a place to unwind between coastal outings. The Pacific’s rugged shoreline and beaches are only a seven-minute drive away, so a jungle stay can still include plenty of beach time.

Start with a walk through the grounds or make the swimming pool the focus of an unplanned afternoon. A hammock invites a longer pause, and spa treatments offer another way to relax after a day outdoors. Rio Mar’s appeal is in having those choices close at hand without needing every day to follow the same schedule.

Settle into the garden setting

Accommodation choices give couples, families and other travel parties different ways to enjoy the stay. Superior Rooms and Junior Suites have terraces; Villa Equipada adds a kitchenette. Compare the current room details for the features that matter to you, leaving the gardens and pool to provide the shared pleasures beyond your door.

The on-site restaurant combines Costa Rican and international dishes inspired by local ingredients. It makes an evening at the hotel easy to enjoy after a day along the coast or in the rainforest. Refreshing beverages and time to linger can turn dinner into one of the stay’s quieter highlights. Friendly, attentive staff add to the welcoming atmosphere at the hotel.

Beyond the grounds, surfing, sunbathing, beach walks and rainforest hikes give the days several different rhythms. Waterfalls, natural pools and wildlife are among the region’s attractions to explore. Choose Rio Mar when you like the idea of days out along the Pacific followed by an afternoon swim, a meal and a return to tropical greenery.
