Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Although it's a bit outside Dominical proper, this spiritual retreat is located beside a series
of cascading waterfalls. Balinese-style suites and villas are decked out from floor to ceil-
ing with Asian art, and all have balconies facing the waterfalls. Regular yoga and medita-
tion sessions are balanced with exclusively vegan cuisine. This eco-retreat has no TV and
no wi-fi.
To reach the property, take the San Isidro de El General fork (just north of the Dominic-
al turnoff) for 6km, and look out for the sign marking the entrance.
Eating & Drinking
The restaurant scene in Dominical is of a high standard, catering mostly to foreign guests.
The town also loves to party, though the scene changes from night to night. Maracutú hosts
lots of live music and DJs; the late-night scene unfolds at San Clemente on Friday and
Hotel y Restaurante Roca Verde on Saturday.
Soda Nanyoa
COSTA RICAN
( 2787-0195; mains US$3-7; 6am-10pm)
In a town that caters to gringo appetites with inflated price tags, Nanyoa is a gratifying
find: an authentic, moderately priced, better-than-most Costa Rican
soda
. The big pinto
breakfasts and fresh-squeezed juice are ideal after a morning session on the waves, and at
night it lets patrons bring their own beer from the grocery across the street.
Chapy′s Healthy Subs & Wraps
DELI
( 2787-0283; meals US$5-10; 11am-6:30pm; )
With crunchy wraps and thick, grilled-veg sandwiches stacked high on homemade focac-
cia, Chapy's is a vegetarian's delight. As healthy as they are delicious, the sandwiches can
be dressed in spicy hummus and homemade sauces. If you need a lunch to grab and go,
this place has the best stuff in town.
