✍️ Description from the real estate agent

Tucked away on the tranquil south side of Dominical, this popular hotel is perfectly positioned just a minute’s walk from the beach and a mere 5-minute stroll to the vibrant town center. Located in Costa Ballena, the Southern Pacific’s thriving tourist hub, this property offers a rare chance to own a profitable business in a prime location. Dominical serves as the gateway to Osa, an area celebrated for its authenticity and emerging appeal in Costa Rica. With fiber optic cable WiFi, this property presents a golden opportunity to live the dream of owning a successful business just steps from the beach.

Lovingly maintained by the current owners, this property—situated at the end of a quiet, dead-end road—has blossomed into a private oasis. It features a lush tropical garden, a serene hammock area, a vibrant open-air patio, and a private parking lot. Known as a "hidden gem" among travelers, this hotel is highlighted in numerous international guidebooks and has earned prestigious awards, including Certificates of Excellence, Travelers’ Choice awards, and recognitions from TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Expedia, and more.

The hotel offers three types of rooms and a communal kitchen that could easily be transformed into a bed and breakfast or restaurant, perfect for hosting nightly gatherings around the bar. The property consists of three buildings arranged in a U-shape facing the ocean, allowing the soothing sound of waves to permeate the entire space. The front area includes an inviting open-air patio, bathroom, reception area, and kitchen—exemplifying the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living that Costa Rica is known for. Upstairs, a fully equipped one-bedroom apartment offers a cozy residence or a consistent rental income. The four side cabins each come with a private terrace, while the two-story building across the garden houses 10 rooms (with AC and fans), all overlooking the lush private garden. The potential for this property is limitless, with additional space available for expansion or the installation of a pool. The property benefits from a legal water meter provided by the local Dominical Asada and also has its own well, ensuring two reliable water sources for the hotel and its guests.
