Dining at DiuWak

Tu Lu is the onsite restaurant which specializes in international cuisine and caters to all tastes and dietary requirements. Buffet includes omelette station, eggs made to order, fruit and the traditional rice and beans. Guests can try Italian specialties, such as thin crust pizzas and pastas. Tu Lu, meaning Full Moon in Bribri, offers a varied international menu. Bribri is still spoken by approximately 11,000 people in the Talamanca region of Costa Rica, and along the Panamanian border.

Leisure and Activities

The expansive property includes gardens, a pond, a large pool, and common areas. Guests can visit the surf school located a couple of doors down from the front desk. Dominical attracts surfers for its powerful waves. Guests can also shop for Dota coffee harvested in the valley of the same name. The coastline offers opportunities apart from surfing.

Location and Access

Hotel DiuWak is approximately 300 meters from the main road in Dominical, a town that has developed into a tourist destination. It is 40 km from Aeropuerto La Managua. The coastal road, known as the 'Costanera', will lead you past the towns of Jaco and Quepos. If you are in the province of Cartago, take the scenic route over the Cerro de La Muerte or through to the town of San Isidro. Another scenic route is down the coast. A direct drive from the capital city of San José takes 3 to 3.5-hours. Guests can look for the Jacó/Tárcoles exit towards Highway 34, stopping at the bridge over the Tarcoles River.

Area Highlights

The town of Uvita is the starting point for whale watching, snorkeling, sports fishing and other seaside adventures. Both the towns of Herradura and Quepos feature Marinas with restaurants, shopping and ocean views. A scenic tour will take you past several palm plantations after the town of Quepos. The Manuel Antonio National Park is nearby. A stop at cascading waterfalls offers the opportunity for a dip.

“Diuwak places you steps from Dominical Beach, balancing accessibility with a relaxed atmosphere amid lush gardens. I appreciate that it emphasizes family-friendly amenities alongside Peruvian and Italian cuisine. While some reports mention inconsistent maintenance, the prospect of personalized service and a heated pool near surf spots gives Diuwak distinct appeal.”
