Dominical is famous for its great waves, beautiful beaches and unparalleled landscapes, as well as extensive tropical forests and wildlife. If you want to experience the real Costa Rica, we recommend that you rent a 4×4 even if you don’t need one to get to the villa you are renting. Our area offers lots of attractions that are only accesible with a 4×4 vehicle; we also recommend that you work with a car rental company that has local offices in or near Dominical as they will be able to attend to any issues you might have with the vehicle.

All rentals required a basic mandatory insurance. You will be able to book the rental from the San Jose International Airport (Juan Santamaria) or you can drive a Shuttle from the airport to the house and then rent a car from here.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No, your country’s driver’s license is valid in Costa Rica for the duration of your tourist entry stamp. When driving always carry your passport or a copy of the ID and entry stamp page, showing proof of legal status in the country.

    Yes, but the exchange rate is not favorable. Try and change currency at a local bank. If you must get colones at the airport, exchange the bare minimum and then head to a bank to exchange larger denominations. Airport taxi drivers will accept U.S. dollars.

    Many Costa Ricans speak conversational English in the tourism industry. As you travel into more rural areas of the country, you will encounter more people who speak only Spanish. Ticos (Costa Ricans), are known for being friendly so if you’re having trouble communicating, a smile, hand gestures and an English-Spanish dictionary will serve you well.

    Costa Rica is internationally recognized for its top-notch medical services both public and private, thanks to its wealth of skilled surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities. For minor aches and pains, visit a local pharmacy. All pharmacies are required to have a licensed pharmacist on staff, and they can diagnose certain ailments and prescribe medication on the spot.

    Although 4WD is not a must, in order to visit many of the touristic attractions you will need to go on gravel roads which are not always in the best shape depending on the season. If you wish to visit more remote areas out of the town centers, 4WD is highly recommended and sometimes necessary.

    For citizens of the United States, Canada and most European countries, you must present a valid passport upon entry. Immigration will stamp your passport with your approved length of stay – usually 90 days for tourists. For all entry requirements, please visit your own country’s official passport & visa website.

    The nearest International Airport is 3.5 hours from Dominical, and is called “Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Santa Maria”, or (SJO). In order to get here you will need to take Route 27 San Jose-Caldera, and once past Orotina head South on the Coastal Highway (Route 34). Continue heading South passing the towns of Tarcoles, Jaco, Parrita and Quepos. You will reach Domincal 30 minutes after Quepos.
