    Thank you Surfer, appreciate your thoughts. Seeing as we need to make this trek twice, once coming and once going, maybe taking the costal route first and then going back through San Isidro on the way home might work for us. If this trip was during the dry season I don’t think I would be worried at all. Thanks again!

    Thanks annelise, we do have maps so not a problem there. Just didn’t know what mother nature might have in store for us this time of year. We live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mtns. so we know that the passes can be difficult in winter time. We are just unfamiliar with road conditions at this time of year. Thanks for your help.

    Ouch! My apologies, I’ve seen all sorts of questions asked here, didn’t realize this one was out of line. We’ve rented a house south of Dominical and will be driving from San Jose and have been given conflicting reports on which road we should take to get there. The home owner believes that the road thru San Isidro may have wash-outs this time of year and not the best choice even though it seems the more direct route when looking at a map.

    Thanks so much for your input. We are far from world travelers but are ready to give it a go. Staying in a fancy resort, isolated from the locals and the real feel of the country is not what we want. We are very excited for this trip. I think we are planning to stay in Domincal for a night before heading to San Isidro.

    Thank you all for sharing your experiences with us. I’m the type that is willing to take a chance and just go for it. My wife is too, up to a point. But it sounds like we shouldn’t have much of a problem finding lodging. Appreciate the info.

    Thank you for your reply. This is one of the places we were looking at. It’s nice to know someone actually stayed there and gives it a recomedation. Thaks again.

    Thanks for the help. Do you have any suggestions on places to stay. Not sure if we’ll rent a car (sounds complicated) so ease of getting around is important. We’re trying to find places for under $150/night, clean, not in a bunk-house. Don’t need the fancy spa stuff. Plan on seeing the park, time on the beach, good food.
