Hotel Cuna Del Angel

Hotel Cuna del Angel, in the forest above Dominical

Cuna del Angel is a small boutique hotel in the tropical forest of the South Pacific near Dominical. It is richly decorated in colourful colonial Costa Rican style with Asian touches, and every room is named after an angel.

It suits couples looking for a romantic, quiet stay, close to the beaches and parks of this coast but with the forest all around.

Why we choose it

• An infinity pool in the jungle. The Angel Deluxe rooms face the infinity pool, with the forest beyond, so a swim feels like floating in the trees.
• A spa on site. The spa offers treatments, packages and facials, and there is a jacuzzi for the end of a long day out.
• Between Dominical and Ballena. Surf, whale watching and waterfalls are all within a short drive, and you come back to calm.

Rooms and views

There are two kinds of rooms. The Angel Deluxe rooms look onto the jungle from a terrace or balcony, right in front of the infinity pool. They come with air conditioning and ceiling fans, wifi, a safe, a hair dryer, a phone, a coffee maker and a TV with a DVD player.

The Jungle Rooms have a balcony over the forest but no ocean view, and they are reached by about 40 steps or a ramp, so they suit younger, more active travellers.

On the property

La Palapa restaurant sits in its own building under a high roof, with a varied menu from morning to night. Beyond the spa and the jacuzzi there is a small gallery, and the gardens are good for a slow walk with a camera. Or lie by the pool with a book and do nothing at all.

Location and getting there

Cuna del Angel is close to Dominical Beach and Marino Ballena National Park. From here we can arrange whale and dolphin watching, snorkelling, sport fishing, kayaking, a ride to a waterfall, and longer days out to Caño Island for diving or to Corcovado National Park. Read more about Dominical.
