A wonderful place to stay, relax, and truly enjoy Costa Rica. The atmosphere was peaceful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everything made my stay feel special, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you one more time for everything!

“Hidden paradise”

It was an absolutely perfect place to recharge your batteries. And much better than we expected. This place is definitely a hidden paradise.

“Solid stay for beach trip.”

Nice property along the beach with wildlife right on the grounds (we even saw a sloth with baby!). Personnel is very nice and helpful. Location is nice and quiet, and in 15 mins drive you are in touristy Dominica with many restaurants etc.

Our stay at Dream Contentment Hotel was truly unforgettable. David, our host, was incredibly kind and welcoming - he went out of his way to show us sloths, monkeys, and other incredible local wildlife, making our experience feel magical from the very start. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. One of the biggest highlights was the direct access to the beach. Whether you’re looking to relax or catch some waves, it’s an ideal spot for surfing and enjoying the ocean. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and beautiful, and Carmen’s hospitality made it feel like home. We left feeling so relaxed and happy. We can’t wait to come back !

“Totally recommended, we enjoyed it a lot.”

Beautiful room, AC works, staff were nice, showed us animals even, beach front, breakfast served in the yard in front of the ocean. Many iguanas to see. They made vegan pancakes for me - very tasty.

What a gem in an idyllic setting, right on the beautiful beach, with iguanas and monkeys running among the palm trees. A great spot to relax or catch a surf. An exceptional staff, kind people who take visible pride in their work. Carmen is great, responds quickly, and goes the extra mile to make sure you have a pleasant stay. And the pancakes for breakfast are perfect! We will surely be back ;-)

Fantastic location, directly adjacent to the beach, miles of sandy beach without stones. All you can hear from the apartment is the surf. You are wonderfully alone here, there are no distractions on the beach, no sales, no activities. The road behind the house is not very busy. The grounds are beautiful, you can lie under trees in the shade, breakfast is served on the terrace, simple but delicious. The staff on site were very nice, the boy showed us the sloths several times. The Cappuchino Monkeys came very close every day across the grounds. They are a bit aggressive and like to steal. But with a bit of distance it was a great spectacle. There is a fairly expensive supermarket within walking distance. We really liked it there. In terms of location, it was the best accommodation of the trip so far.

“Great stay at Dreamy Contentment.”

Awesome stay at Dreamy Contentment. Our host Carmen could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. Daniel also was great. I really appreciate their warm welcome. I felt right at home. Great beach. Great place to stay. Wonderful sunsets. I could sit on the beach all day. Thanks again!

Very nice and comfortable place to stay in a great environment with allot of wildlife around.

“Dreamy minus any contentment.”

location right next to beach

“Falsely described to lure us in, then charged for a room we did not stay in! Horrible experience.”

We had high hopes based on other reviews and the location, but unfortunately this hotel did not meet any minimum standard. The room we booked was not what we were provided upon check in: we were supposed to have a bungalow with a kitchenette - it sounded nice with access to a nice beach. Instead we were provided a small room, with no kitchen and no bathroom (the bathroom was outside, in another building, with a locked door that was difficult to open). There was an outdoor cooking area but it was dirty, unkept and honestly I'm not sure if the cooking appliances would have even worked they were sold old and derelict. The beach and lounge chairs weren't as nice as shown in the photos. We didn't stay as it was not at all what we had reserved through Booking.com. I sent a message to both the hotel contact and to Booking.com before we left the property (while we were in a wi-fi zone) to say we were not staying. The property host responded immediately and everything seemed ok. However, when we got home, we saw on our credit card that the hotel charged us full price for the room that we booked (not the lower-cost room that they tried to give us), even though we didn't even stay there. I have been trying for almost 30 days to get a refund and the hotel isn't responding to me, and Booking.com's customer service has been frustrating and useless.

“Like a Dream - paradise on Earth!”

Wonderfull location on the beach, amazing garden with palm trees and delicous breakfast. The Bungalow was very clean and beautiful furnished, we felt very comfortable and warm welcomed during our whole stay. We stayed for two nights and wish that we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend it!!!

“Incredibily overpriced. Stressful”

Location ideal

all 3 rooms are in front of the ocean and amazing beaches. its very calm and peaceful. perfect spot to relax or do nearby activities. we stayed 2 nights and would have stayed more days if we knew how beautiful the place is. coffee machine and coffee was in the room as well as ac and fridge. hammock and beach loungers are set up at the beachfront for guests but the beach itself is wild. monkeys came by every day.

“Beachfront hotel on a secluded, peaceful beach”

Location was right on the beachfront. Staff was friendly and let me leave my bags there early and check in early, with very little notice.

The room was lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed including a coffee machine. The location on the beachfront was excellent and the grounds were very well maintained. The team were very helpful and even arranged a night tour in the jungle for us.

“Beautiful beach view”

Beautiful beach and amazingly spacious room. Wildlife outside the door. Well equipped kitchen and living area. Wonderful helpful staff.

“paradise on earth”

this was the best stay we had during our three week trip around Costa Rica. The secluded location, the amazing wild life right in front of the bungalow, the sunsets in front of our porch, the waves crushing rocking us to sleep. it was perfect and the most amazing end to our beautiful trip. when we come back, this will be the place we will return to straight away 🙏🏼

I can't say much about it as we arrived in the evening when it was dark, so we couldn't see much more then the cottage we booked.
