Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Roads nearby were very usable even though it was the wet season. There is a very nice black sand beach a short walk from the hotel (though the stairs a bit treacherous).

The room smelled a little damp. The bathroom was slimy. The pool was moldy. The breakfast was a very small portion, but it tasted good. My family and I were informed by the staff that it was only one drink per person and no refill… My room didn't have a hairdryer. The facilities were very nice with mageatic view. The hotel very well located, and had a very nice and private beach access. The grass could have been better maintained.

We arrived at night and it was a little confusing to find the hotel. There are no signs pointing to the hotel and it’s hidden from the road. I love that security was always at the gate and was very vigilant. We went late September and it was nice having most of the hotel to ourselves. Service was great!! The wait staff was too notch. Very accommodating and attentive. They were a good time. The pool was nice. Lounge chairs and full service. The swim up bar could use some TLC but still got the job done. There is an amazing gazebo over look the ocean and beaches. Breath taking views from the restaurant, balcony, and pool. The food was delicious. Cooked to order breakfast. I also had a shrimp cocktail that was to die for. Drinks were amazing as well. Fresh frozen fruit was used in my pina colodas and strawberry daiquiris. Yuuummm. My husband and I got a couples massage and loved it. The tables were close to the ocean so the waves crashing added a nice touch. Very clean. The mopped our room everyday and it always smelled and looked great after room service. My only negative comments would be the bed was very stiff and the shower wasn’t great.

Low key, chill, friendly.

Hotel Dunama was perfect for me. Low key, not too crowded. The staff was above and beyond friendly and kind. The beds are comfortable. Good food, good drinks. There is a beautiful private beach. The pool is a good temperature and very calm. Gorgeous view of the water from the top of a hill. I’d stay there again.

Really enjoyed our stay, property was beautiful, pool was clean and enjoyed walking around the property. Dining area had beautiful view of the ocean and great food. Bit of a walk into town and to the beach but otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

Photos on your site must me 25 years old. Facility and rooms need to be redone. Toilets and faucets had stains. Dead bugs on floor and squashed on walls. Dinning was great and the staff (Eric) was excellent and very helpful.

We arrived and they told us that there was no space, they made us wait and when they gave us a room that was not the one we asked for, it was dirty, it smelled very bad and had dirty sheets, it looked like a room that had not been cleaned for days.

Bedding was full of stains and blood and could easily tell they weren’t washed between check ins. Pool was full of debris and was gross. Room had lots of mold and smelt awful. Would not recommend this property at all and the price point is ridiculous for 100 more can get an all inclusive resort down the road.

Unbelievable view over the ocean and surrounding hills. The property was very clean. The on-site restaurant was great for any meals, snacks or drinks. We had one of the swim-up rooms, and it had everything we needed. The bathroom had obviously been renovated and updated and was very nice. My only recommendation for the hotel would be adding a safe in the room and bedside tables/lamps. There are several beaches and lots of restaurants within an easy walk (but it is on a hill, so you will earn the cervezas). Checkin/out was a breeze and all staff we met were very friendly. My only complaint is a lack of coffee for the in-room coffee maker. We had 1 package for the first morning and were told that was it. I think for the price, that policy should be amended. Overall I will still give it a great review.

The location is safe and close enough to other beach towns. The rooms are pretty outdated but it’s perfect if you plan on being out most of the time. Definitely a 3 star hotel. The views are amazing, staff was friendly. It was unfortunate that their laundromat “did not work”, Expedia should really remove laundry from the description. Definitely was not 24/7 concierge service, when we would get back at 11pm all the lights were off in the lobby / eating area and NO ONE was at the front desk. There was 24/7 security - nice man who let you through. Do not take “monkey trail” on your way there, if you do you’ll have to cross a small river - stick to the main roads.

This hotel was a great location, I asked for a swim up pool and didn't get that and they said the hotel was full but spoke to other guest that were able to move rooms. the rooms smelled like really bad paint. The room had no dressers and under the bed was very dirty. When I proceeded to ask the staff about changing rooms they laughed and told me that is the only room available. Overall I would not recommend this hotel

Amazing views is about all this place has to offer. Property is not msintained well with overgrown landscaping. Pool is filthy. Breakfast options are the same everyday. Bar wont charge to room and makrs you pay for every transaction. Pool towels are undersized and bleach stained. Rooms have no safes, clocks, hand towels or racks, not even a toilet paper holder. Just missing on alot of stuff that is normal

Catfished!!! Pictures are beautiful online. But NOT that way anymore. Dirty, unkempt, noisy, rundown!!! It was like the shining hotel in certain parts of the hotel and grounds. Like it was abandoned! Scary stairs to beach. Big holes in the deck near the beach. Debris, garbage and leaves everywhere; in the pool, under chairs, in the lobby, down the stairs. Creepy comes to mind. Could not even use the pool is was so dirty and grimy; crabs in the pool! The rooms are NOT soundproof. People littering stomping and thudding above us into the night. Room next door, people started fighting at 6am. They smelled like smoke and urine with moth ball smell to “try” and cover it up. We did not want to stay even one night upon arrival. Expedia called hotel and nothing they would do. We rearranged our fishing trip to the next day so we would be gone all day. Left the next day, forfeited a night and booked elsewhere. ONLY decent thing was the staff was nice and room was updated. DO NOT BOOK! Spend or pay more elsewhere. I promise you will regret it.

We stumbled across this gem after being canceled the night before our flight at another resort (CONDOVAC LA COSTA). we were panicked with very little time in such short notice. Dunama was amazing. Easy to book and what a pleasant surprise when we arrived. Extremely convenient location with excellent views around the whole resort. Plenty of lounging areas. The beach was down below a couple flight of stairs. With great snorkeling and black sand beach. I recommend water shoes if you want to explore the area around. It is also around the best beach we thought with a fantastic sunset. 3 minutes away, Flamingo beach. You can also rent cabanas and chairs on thus beach for $30. We had the swin up room and I loved it! This resort exceeded our expectations. We are well traveled and this resort helped our experience and vacation to Costa Rica be a fantastic trip. Great shops, pharmacy, medical care and restaurants in the area. Brit cafe, Angelina's, rest monkey jungle, coco loco and hazels near the marina were a few of our favorites. The new owners have improved this place a ton and i only see it getting better. The food was just ok. Driving is a bit chaotic with narrow roads and steep hills. If you dont have a car you can rent a golf cart near by. For $59 a day. I encourage to do this in advance as the reservations fill up. Happy vacay planning :)

I just spent 3 nights here and was my worse experience of customer service i have ever encountered. First of all I had a garden view room on lower level (which felt like I was in the maid’s quarters)…had to walk outside to get to it. There were no chairs in room or on the balcony so could not enjoy it. I had ‘hotel soap’ in plastic wrappers, and cheap shampoo/conditioner and no lotion. My brother had a pool view room and had chairs on balcony, luxurious soaps, and body lotion! My first night, someone tried to get in my room at 3:30am…I am a single female and was all alone. To say I was terrified is an understatement! When brought to attention of the manager and staff, everyone seemed to have excuses and blamed it on 2 drunk ladies, who denied it! Regardless, I was terrified and they did not offer to correct my situation and move me somewhere safer free of charge…I was offered a free cocktail which I declined and on last night manager offered me a free meal. The disrespect and lack of empathy was disgusting!
