Hotel
Cuna del Angel
Dominical
Costa Rica
Looking
over the treetops towards the crystalline
Pacific waters kissing the sandy
and deserted beaches, is nestling
"Cuna del Angel" (the
craddle of an angel) in a private
and remote area, who's owners made
every effort to create a unique
in the typical colonial style with
endless details. It's 9 Km south
of Dominical between the coastal
road and the only 500 m distant
Pacific ocean in the south of Costa
Rica.
The Hotel is a
realized dream of Tom, from Munich
in Germany, is the result of careful
planning and research of the best
way to create an exclusive and cozy
boutique hotel amidst the surroundings
of exuberant tropical jungle forest,
in the lobby of the Earth’s
most ecologically diverse area.
The dream project of Tom, a German
from Munich, who came to this land
and instantly fell in love with
its tropical surroundings and the
relaxed way of living.
Astonishing views all along the
South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
are the red carpet that leads to
this intimate and warm construction
in Colonial and Native Costa Rica’s
style, a celebration of the encounter
of cultures, where the best of both
worlds meet, keeping the glamour
and elegance of a modern and civilized
world, and evoking the spiritual
world of the indigenous cultures
that inhabited our small yet rich
country.

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.
