We drove up the hill about 10 minutes from Dominical towards San Isidro. My favorite bananas were at the road side fruit stand. I cut several fingers off the bunch and in my best Spanish asked the lady the name of them. She looked at me with a tilted head and said, "ba-nan-na". I smiled and laughed and agreed and picked up the other types. Finally she said "criollo"!
I think Lorax told me what they were called once, but the locals called them, "Criollos". They were cavendish proportionately, but were thin and had very little neck.
