Everything about this property was great- it was beautiful and clean and had a unique design and quality customer service. We did have a very strange/negative experience upon checkout however. The hotel charged us $20 upon checkout because a clean wash cloth was accidentally brushed into the trash can as we were leaving. This strange charge was enforced with very little explanation or prior notification. This experience just as we were leaving left us with a negative impression of what was otherwise a very lovely stay.

Great little boutique hotel outside Dominical

We originally found the restaurant La Palapa during our first trip to Costa Rica and fell in love with it. We have been \"saying\" we wanted to stay at the hotel for a few years. This finally happened for our 5th anniversary and again a week later with friends. It won't be our last. The rooms are comfortable, although the beds are a little on the stiff side. And note, the king room reserved was only a queen. But for a couple of nights, it was doable. The rooms are roomy, the showers are hot, and the amenities are good. Each room has a small TV, a safe, and even a cooler to take out by the pool. The staff is beyond accommodating, friendly, and helpful! Did I already say the restaurant is gluten-free and amazing? The veggies come from their organic garden, and their ingredients are fresh. We have yet to have a bad meal. Breakfast is included in the morning. We now live in Costa Rica, and there are many great places to stay. Hotel Cuna del Angel is at the top of our list—a great little boutique hotel outside Dominical.

I arrived to the property and they told me I had to pay for my room, when I’m fact it was prepaid and use Expedia points. I was refuse check in or any benefits. Took me a long time to get wifi because I was not consider a guess to be able to contact Expedia. They refuse to help or contact Expedia and even after I show my own credit cart statement showing payment and Expedia recite.
I was treat it as if I want it to steal from them. Them they put me on a floor where there was no easy access next to the kitchen and food smell was very strong. Staff was rude even after Expedia agent help me. Next day they were still rude and I had to ask for my free drink and they told me they had to find out if I rate the drink. There is was no benefit. Horrible experience. My money and Expedia points were wasted and a very uncomfortable experience. I feel i trough my money and points away. Very disappointed.

Really lovely, intimate retreat. Staff are all friendly and attentive. The restaurant is convenient and truly wonderful. Probably our favorite option for dining in the area. Such amazing attention to detail throughout the grounds, and even the raw botanicals shower products were a delight to use. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a serene retreat after a day of surfing or enjoying the national parks (the staff provided us with a list of nearby beaches with information and directions to find them). There is a shuttle to Domi I think, and saw some taxis lift a few guests but we rented a car as it was the easiest way to access all the surf spots and parks. It was easy to park and 24 hr security so your things are safe

Disappointing

This property is a total disappointment. We had to find another hotel, because the property itself was unacceptable as a 4-star hotel. Firstly, most of the food we ate in the restaurant was disgusting. Secondly, the rooms are very dated and the lighting awful with “cool” (instead of warm and welcoming) light bulbs with very low lumen ratings, so at night the rooms felt like a set in a horror movie. They also waste copious amounts of water in the rooms, with shower heads and toilets that are heavy flow; there is so much water coming out of the shower, it’s almost uncomfortable. Thirdly, the pool and hot tub are unheated, with the front desk citing “because of the weather.” My sister got in a couple of times but it wasn’t comfortable. An unheated hot tub? I don’t understand. I had a screaming child in the room next to me on my second night, and the front desk was reluctant to move me, although they did. They also claimed to have “dealt“ with said screaming child, but the child could be heard from many places on the property, screaming at various times during the day and night. I’m talking about a young child, not a newborn baby, who needs food. Finally, the hotel refused to refund our money for two rooms for two nights, stating that it was because we booked through a third-party site. The woman checking out on our way out, who was also complaining, was also refused a refund.

Last time we were at this hotel was 11 years ago, and it hasn't changed much. The hotel looks tired, it definitely needs upgrades. The toilets in our room barely flushed and based on the size of the water tank, it certainly wasn't eco-friendly. There was also a terrible sewage smell, not sure if it is their septic system or from elsewhere but it needs to be looked at. The restaurant staff were very nice and accommodating.

Don’t come her if you have young children. They act like you are a total pain to have stay at the hotel. The servers at the restaurant are pretentious and think that a 5 year old should have perfect manners. Also, they preach about saving water and give you 10 pieces of silverware and 10 plates for a meal just to make it seem fancy.

Favorite Hotel, Funky Sheets

We stayed in a two bed room (2 double beds). We decided to sleep in the bed next to the windows. Unfortunately the fitted bottom sheet was too small for the mattress and constantly came untucked. Sort of strange for an otherwise very nice hotel.
This was our third stay and we will no doubt stay here again.

The staff was terrific. The hotel was clean. The location is very serene. Free breakfast was good.The bed was not too comfortable. The bathroom comes with a small mirror (imagine 3 adult women fighting to put makeup on) and no hooks to hang anything while taking a shower. Amenities consist of only a pool. My biggest issue; Costa Rica is very hot and humid; the open cabana style restaurant needs as many ceiling fans as possible to keep guests cool and comfortable, instead of the solely fan available to cool off the whole restaurant. I was sweating my butt off.

The hotel is beautiful and the rooms feel very luxurious. The place is neatly tucked away in the Costa Rican jungle and save for the ocasional roar of a truck speeding down the highway, you feel far away from everything.
A powerful thunderstorm tucked us in at night as I prepared for a delicious night’s rest.
When I lied down in bed, though, the surprise wasn’t so good. Stiff pillows and uncomfortable beds made for a fitful night’s rest (not to mention that my room had the name of a fallen angel). I tossed and turned most of the night trying to find a comfortable position and couldn’t find it. In the morning I got up early to find a shower with little water pressure.
It seems that Cuna del Angel was all facade.

Very nice views and beautiful grounds. Food was a bit overpriced for what you get. Rooms nice although ours had a leak from ceiling to bathroom floor and the toilet lever broke. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good location although not easily found off the main highway. Need better signage and road up the hill could be in a bit better condition.

Lovely stay

This is a lovely hotel. We stayed for just one night after being in the jungle on the Osa Peninsula for 2 weeks, and really appreciated the cleanliness, attention to detail, and welcoming staff. Breakfast was excellent as well!

Just one thing: Need to improve bed comfort

Very nice hotel, excellent restaurant and pool, excellent ocean view, excellent staff. But the comfort of the bed should be improve: pillows too high and hard!

If you want to relax, this is the place.

The hotel is very quiet and a very attractive property. The staff are friendly. The thing is, we didn't have a car, so if you're the type of person who wants to go out and about (beaches, restaurants, etc) then have a car or plan to take a taxi. The hotel is super quiet and relaxing, and I joked with friends that it would be the perfect place to hide after having and work done like a face lift. The restaurant is good, although not very adventurous or special, and a little overpriced in our opinion. We actually spent less taking cabs to other restaurants. The staff were friendly, but a little stuffy. I felt like I couldn't really be myself because they're a little more dressed up. I wanted people to socialize and speak spanish with, but like I said, if you want to be left alone (not ignored, just left alone to privacy) then this is the place. We still enjoyed our time, and slept better than we have in years. I think this place would be best for individuals looking to unwind, not the kind looking for \"to-dos\" and such.

5-star to 3-star for important missed detail

The hotel ambiance, staff, amenities and location were a 5-star experience. I decided to rate as 3 stars because of an inconvenience that could have been easily avoided when my husband and I stayed there. The hotel's occupation rate was 30%, and still, they put us in a room next to another couple with a baby and a toddler. Of course, they started crying before sunrise and ruined our stay. They had 70% of the hotel's rooms empty, and they put us there. No basic planning or consideration at all.
