Small place with a great location. You can't see the beach from the hotel rooms (you can from the bar/restaurant). But it's just a very short walk down the water. They have a small pool that is clean and relaxing. The rooms are large and air conditioned. The staff was very nice. I would come back here in a heartbeat! More

My wife and I spent 3 days at Roca Verde. First, the positive: The place is spotless, the rooms modest yet lovely, grounds are well kept, security excellent and the beach magnificent-The restaurant's food is simple but delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were always gracious and helpful. Now to the negative: The proprietor, Mike, was totally rude, weird or... More

We only spent one night there as Dominical villiage was a bit full and dusty. After checking in went for a walk on a tropical beach all but deserted and pristine. Manta Ray young play in the shallow surf so shuffling in the water was reccommended not stepping like most places. Property was clean and staff friendly especially the owner... More

Spent 5 nights here last week and was pretty happy with the room etc. Air conditioner worked really well which is a big thing this time of year. A bit of a walk to town although it is down a beautiful beach. Still I think I will probably stay in town next time if I travel alone as there was... More

The rooms are okay, but the manager is rude and the rest of the staff are weird. We cannot recommend it. More

Our third time here, and my husband finally agreed with me that it is the best hotel and location for the things that matter most traveling--especially with teens. Once we got used to no frills, no swans made of towels, no TV or room safe, no real ocean view, and a little flaking paint, we began to appreciate its plusses... More

I have stayed at the Roca Verde several times and even when I haven't stayed there I have always had drinks and dinner there a few times during the trip. Mike and Frank are great, as is Sasha and the rest of the staff. It's a great meet-up place, and the Saturday night disco is still the best for 100... More

Firstly, I LOVED Dominical- I thought the town has a cool vibe. I can easily understand how people say it used to be the hippyish, grungy destination. Many streets are still dirt and apparently the highway to reach it was only recently paved. the beach was nice but I enjoyed the open market along the beach for shopping, and the... More

We stayed here one night. The owner was cold and rude. We had reservations for Wednesday and he said after reading his hand written calender which he had us for Monday , "you're late!" He had plenty of rooms, got a key and proceeded to nearly run off ahead of us. Of all the wonderful people in CR, he is... More

Our family has been returning to Roca Verde for almost eight years, and it just gets better and better with each passing year. Mike and Frank are the nicest people anyone could ever have the good fortune to meet, and their wonderful staff make everyone feel welcome. Edgar, Eric, Juan and all the rest are great people who will make... More
