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
