It was early 90's when we were there and I vaguely remember some details. I remember a "restaurant" in Hermosa where the waitresses all wore old Hooters uniforms and served those old expired glass soda bottles of Sprite. It was the only thing I could drink other than beer that my stomach wouldn't explode. The road to Dominical was dirt and very bumpy. We found that the faster you drove the smoother the ride was, but it made it very difficult to smoke the J. We got lost a few times on our way down, and I remember a broken down school bus that we passed a few times and every time we did the kids threw rocks at our car. We stayed at a place that was still being built next to a river mouth. The room had banana spiders hanging from the ceiling as big as your head. The restaurant down in Dominical I remember having all the broken surf boards hanging off the ceiling and the waitress was smoking hot. Waves were all time and still some of the best I have surfed to this day. The banana daquiris at the Terrazas hotel bar were amazing as well.
