Surf, Sun and Adventure
Flanked by towering mountains covered in primary rainforest, Dominical is a place of stunning beauty. The surf is steady throughout the year, but really picks up from May-October when large swells bring epic waves. Take a dolphin and whale watching excursion to nearby Ballena Marine Park, located in Bahia Ballena (Whale Bay) – recently named one of the “hottest vacation destinations” by Travel and Leisure magazine. For those who want a little adventure, there’s no shortage of tours – including scuba diving, canopy zip-lines, horseback excursions and world-class sport fishing. Secluded beaches are the star of the show in this region, with several lovely stretches of pristine shoreline (Playa Uvita and Ojochal are favorites) framed by swaying palms.
Dominical Vacation Rentals Gaining Popularity
According to a 2012 TripAdvisor survey, more travelers are taking an increased interest in vacation rentals, with more than 46 percent planning to stay in a home rental this year. The reason cited most often? More vacation for much less money. As opposed to a hotel room, most Costa Rica rental properties come with fully-equipped kitchens and offer tons more space along with bonuses like swimming pools, Jacuzzis and added privacy. On top of that, travelers also found vacation rentals much easier on the wallet, especially in light of last-minute specials that are offered during the low season. Of the 1,200 participants polled, 20 percent said they like the creature comforts of home, and 27 percent agreed that it’s easier – and more economical – to enjoy a holiday with family and friends in a vacation rental versus a hotel.
