San Jose is where you fly in and either bus or rent a car and head south to San Isidro. There you can buy some groceries at reasonable prices and head west (just ask for Dominical). This entire route takes you through cloud forests, mountain ridges, and river valleys and takes about four hours by car and six hours by bus (San Jose to Dominical). For details on the schedules see thebusschedule.com. Coming in from the northern route is always bumpy and in the rainy season is most advisable to come by 4x4. San Jose to Quepos is paved and from Quepos south unpaved. If not distracted by bright lights and shiny cities you'll get here in 5 hours by car and six by bus (direct only). From the south what people do is fly into SJO, then make reservations for Sansa air flight to Palmar Sur and get a car rental to meet them there.

To get around in Dominical people generally walk. It's a real small town. You can hitchhike to the city (San Isidro), or bus, or taxi to a waterfall. To go from hotel to restaurant to the beach you don't need a vehicle, everything's that close.

Restaurants are varied and many. "Tipical Comida" is found in every restaurant. The Back Porch has vegetarian choices and stateside food. San Clemente has Mexican American, Maracatú has Natural Food, ConFusione has Italian, Coconut Spice has Thai, Tortilla Flats has beach seafood, Thrusters has Extreme Bar Food, Rio Mar has steak and seafood, Nanyoa has Budget Costa Rican, La Parcela has international cuisine in an exquisite setting, La Macha has seafoods. All grocery stores have sandwich makings and dinner preparations.

The most popular is Roca Verde, even if it is only one night a week (Sat.) as the nearby San Isidro city parks itself there and latinas sway in the moonlight. Tortilla Flats closes early (9) but serves it up from breakfast till then and is perfect for a surf and a beer or three. Maracatú has ladies nights, reggae nights, and live nights. Thrusters is going off generally. Cocos is all about the Tico flavor and terrific for sports nights. Confusione often has violin music on Saturday nights. San Clemente has Friday night covered with a discoteque throb. There's even a delivery service, NightFlight, in town to get booze and food to your vacation home until three in the morning.
