It's 9 km south of Dominical, in Puertocito, between the coastal road and the only 500 m distant Pacific Ocean in the south of Costa Rica.

FACILITIES
The Palapa, the central building of this unique hotel, was designed as an area of homage to local ancestors. Its architectural design was based on the “Boruca” traditional ceremonial dwelling, a symbolic expression of this Costa Rican indigenous culture. Its circular shape generates an idea of center projected energy towards the sky through the conic roof. The symbolic codes are mainly social and religious with universal elements, which means that many ethnics around the world have similar concepts.
Its eight columns where placed reminding the original ritual of our native ancestors, who used the sunrise and sunset as points of reference. The center of the first level has a mosaic that represents the Cosmic Levels of the local cultures: Earth, Sky, Moon and Sun. All around this circular space, our creative Chef will pamper all your senses in our restaurant. Come for gourmet dining with a selected choice of wines and awesome views. Good energy flows all over.

The lobby was designed in two levels, so our visitors can get inspired by the stunning ocean view, while they feel among the clouds and in Heaven, drinking one of our cocktail creations, choosing a souvenir or a fine jewel in the boutique. Its decoration includes many, many details, such as the dome in optic fiber with the constellation of August 8th 2005 of our local sky, the date when most stars and the brightest ones could be seen, a magical experience.
The hotel offer the facilities for disabled people. |
