Mavi Surf Hotel

Very friendly people that do a very good job. Breakfast is great. The pool and garden are well maintained. The rooms have everything you need and are very clean and beautiful . Hard not to feel home immediately .I would recommend this hotel to everybody .

Impeccably clean. Very quiet and relaxing place with a classy clientele. Family run with great attention to detail, the place is maintained in a pristine state and feels new. The owners are gracious and generous with their time and always ready to answer any questions or chat which contributes to a friendly vibe. Very attractive for early to bed early to rise active people who love to play in the surf.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Mavi. It is a boutique family run hotel that is quiet and so very comfortable! This little gem is situated within walking distance to the ocean and all that Dominical has to offer. Barbara and Max are the perfect hosts! Breakfasts are scrumptious! We will be back! Thank you Barbara and Max!!

Hands down the best hotel in Dominical! Barbara and Max are the kindest and most accommodating hosts. The premises were kept immaculately clean with a nicely stocked kitchen and good AC! The breakfasts were also the best part of our day! Great location with views of the mountains and pastures and only a 5min walk to beach/town. Highly recommend!!

We have stayed at the Mavi at least 10 times. It feels like coming home to stay at the Mavi and see Barb and Max. The hotel is family run with the owners living on site and therefore very clean and well maintained. The hotel is 8 rooms so you feel like you are in your own place and every room has their own entrance so if you are on the second floor no one will ever walk past your room. They are always available for whatever you need with a smile, along with the amazing women that help cook breakfast (so delicious) or clean your room. The same ladies have been working there for the past 7 years I have been visiting. The hotel is a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and stores in town but without feeling like you are in the middle of town when it gets busy. (Bring a small flashlight for nighttime walks to dinner in town) If you look out your room door you see the pool and if you look out your bedroom window you see the neighbors which are only cows and horses. This is truly an oasis of peace and relaxation. If you need any restaurant suggestions or reservations they can help make them and get you a taxi if needed. If you surf you will most likely be in the water with Max during your trip at some point. I love taking my daily nap outside my room in the hammock after surfing or exploring Dominical and the surrounding areas. This is best place to stay in Dominical 🫶🏼🏄🏻‍♂️🌊🏄🏻‍♀️🌊

The owners are very friendly and kind with a full hospitality. The hotel is clean and located in a quiet area of the town. I felt so relaxed staying at Mavi Surf Hotel. For me, everything was perfect.

MAVI Surf Hotel was the ideal place for me to stay on my recent 4-night solo trip to Dominical. My room had everything I wanted, including an exceptionally comfortable bed, a well-appointed bathroom, a covered balcony with table and chairs, a room safe, and a kitchen area complete with dishes, utensils and refrigerator. Breakfasts were delicious, and the staff happily accommodated my special food requests (such as pancakes made without milk!). But the best part of staying here was the owners, Massimiliano and Barbara. They were gracious hosts who truly made me feel at home. Barbara was especially helpful, letting me know when it would be low tide at Playa Uvita so that I could walk out to the "Whale's Tail," making a last-minute reservation for me to visit the Nauyaca waterfall, and phoning a spa in town to book a massage. Max reviewed a local map with me when I arrived and marked the restaurants he recommended. As for location, MAVI Surf Hotel is in a peaceful setting away from the hubbub of "downtown" Dominical. It takes an extra couple of minutes to walk to restaurants and shops in the center of town, but I found this a very minor and worthwhile trade-off. All in all, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Dominical.

If you are vacationing in the Dominical area be sure and stay at the MAVI Surf Hotel de Dominical. You will be glad you did! My wife and I have stayed here twice and will come back again. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the Hotel is charming and immaculate. Breakfast is included, and you have your choice of several delicious entries. A beautiful pool also waits just outside the front door of your room. The gracious owners, Max and Barbara, will make sure you have everything you need to make your stay comfortable! The beach is just a short walk down the road, and shops and excellent restaurants are only a several minute stroll from the Hotel as well. MAVI Surf has everything you need for a fun and delightful stay. We highly recommend this Hotel for your visit to Dominical!

Everything every other review mentions is true: the Italian couple that runs is this is just as kind, helpful, friendly, and welcoming as others have stated. The rooms are large, clean, air conditioned, and come with their own balcony and kitchenette. The hotel itself is only a few minutes from the beach, and about ten minutes walking into the main town - in other words, far enough away from the main drag to only hear birds at night. Breakfast is included and absolutely delicious. The pool is a calm and inviting place to wind down at the end of the day. It’s a lovely, special place. Since others have written all of this - my main addition will be: get the yogurt at breakfast. It is made by a local farmer and it is ridiculously, absurdly tasty. Thank you Max and Barbara 💗
