Cool hot spot in a surfer hang out. Great fun place across from the beach, good food,even vegan options, good service and just a fun place to people watch. Can't wait to go back again, we hope this trip. It's about 45 minutes from Manuel/ quepos, well worth the drive. Don't let the dirt road scare you, that's part of... More

it was actually 2 years ago that I was at Torilla Flats, just never had a chance to leave a review. The staff was amazing and the location was the best. Not to mention the food was so yummy and the beet always cold. Right across from one of the most beautiful beaches, HAVE TO TRY THE Guacamole!

We got the suite above the bar--loved it. Cheap, clean, air conditioning, wireless, nice bathroom and private balcony. The food and service was always fresh and friendly, and of course the location is right on the beach. If you're a backpacker, this is luxury; if you're a first-classer, this is about the best you'll find. :)

As many others have said, don't expect much, and you will not be disappointed. I think I paid $30.00 for a private room, of course no AC.......Worst bed ever.....mattress sucked....bed was missing a slat. Average cleanliness....Tiny little fan..... Food was ok.....Bar was "fun"......Attitude from one of the servers was the best ever....(as in she had the attitude that I should... More

The rooms are really meant for young surfers. For us older beach bums the bar is a wonderful respite from the midday soon. Also after spending all afternoon in the bar the rooms will look a lot better. Dominical is really a special place with really friendly people, even if you're not a surfer.

Well, the view is nice, but the food is not, let's say it's ok, but, as I said, don't expect too much. The waiters seem to be very inattentive, and they refuse to do separate checks, which is very inconvenient if you want to eat here with a group.

These guys are obviously catering to surfers, but a great restaurant/bar and good nights sleep for very little cash was pleasantly worth the diversion south - nice folks - the beach was great and for those seeking good surf it seemed to be here.

Just stopped here for a quick bite and refreshments after a fantastic day scuba diving with Mad About Diving. The place was jammed, mostly with surfers and what looked like longtime ex-pats. Good music and a great location with views of the surf. We waited a while for service as the place was jam-packed but the casual atmosphere encouraged a... More

The local bevy of ex-pats seem to hang out here. Good drinks on the bat but quite expensive. The place us right on the beach and oozes in authenticity. I know you have a 200 word minimum, but there isn't really much to add other than its a dumpy place with good expensive frozen drinks. If you're going to Dominical... More

This place is very convenient for a traveler. The rooms are what you would expect for under $20, but being beachfront makes the value well worth it. The service at the bar and restaurant is incredible and it is so nice to have people around that truly care about how ur stay in costa rica goes. I def recommend this... More
