10/10 Excellent
"The Retreat Costa Rica is a dream—it’s everything I expected and so much more. This beautiful retreat is secluded, peaceful, and truly feels like a place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. The food is amazing, the people are wonderful, and there are so many opportunities to nourish both body and soul. They offer a variety of yoga classes, sound healing, hikes, and advanced treatments and therapies. Because this is a very small resort, it has a wonderfully intimate, family like atmosphere. The staff is absolutely incredible, warm, caring, and genuinely attentive. Shout out to Edmond & Lisbeth for the warm reception and deep conversations, to Carlos that made sure everyone is training their most important muscle: your smile 😊 and to all the wonderful staff members serving the nourishing meals to name a few: Andres, Juan, Karina, Pablo!! I’m leaving feeling grateful, renewed, and already wishing I could come back soon. ❤️🌴"

"This place was so good. Our flight got in after hours and so they made sandwiches for us to have upon arrival. A security guard checked us in after hours and gave us our meal and served us at the dining patio. He was very friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautiful. It feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. Sometimes you could hear the airplanes but nothing too distracting. In the morning we had an amazing Costa Rican breakfast. They anticipated everything and the communication was awesome. They reached out to me in advance and took care of the meals, arranged for a driver to get us from the airport and made sure it all went easy and effortless. We stayed here for the night before departing to La Fortuna. The next day. We had a few hours to kill in the morning and Karin at the front desk recommended an animal sanctuary that we went to. We saw tons of animals and ended up having an amazing experience because of her. This day was great. I felt like I was in a movie scene from Encanto. I would definitely stay here again. Hands down better than any hotel chain."
