Hotel Villas Rio Mar
800 meters northeast of the Dominical entrance, Dominical, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
We asked the chef at dinner to prepare pescado entero, using a red snapper we had brought. We are on our way back to Canada after 4 months and had a beautiful fish we didn't want to miss eating. The chef was so friendly and willing to accommodate us. The pescado entero was perfect, and the meal with his additions of salad, vegetables, potatoes, and a small appetizer was excellent! Combined with the beautiful gardens, ylang ylang fragranced air and excellent service from staff, we felt like we were treated royally!!
