I had an incredibly calming, grounding, and genuinely healing experience during my stay. The entire atmosphere of the resort allows you to truly slow down and reconnect with yourself. The food was outstanding—consistently fresh, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the service. A heartfelt thank you to Pablo, Michael, Jonathan, and Alejandro. Each of them provided such genuine care, kindness, and attention without ever making anything feel forced or overly formal. There was a natural ease in how they showed up, which made the entire stay feel even more comfortable and welcoming. Nothing felt rushed or transactional—just thoughtful, present, and intentional service throughout. I’m so grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone looking to rest, reset, and feel truly taken care of.

I was looking for a relaxing getaway and found this place. While there are many competing products in Costa Rica, I was attracted to the relative proximity to the airport. A very important point, the resort is located at about 2500ft, and that results in a nearly perfect weather, not nearly as hot as see level, with a very nice breeze in the evening. The location is fairly secluded. Do not plan on being able to walk to nearby restaurants. I stayed in one of the newer santosha rooms, which I highly recommend. I was very impressed by the architecture throughout. Everything is very pretty, modern, and qualitative. Not a single detail was left out. From the light switches to their internet system. It's pretty and highly functional. The view is very nice, you feel in the middle of the forest, very relaxing. This is very much a boutique hotel with only a few rooms Service is 5 star. They go above and beyond to make their guests welcome. In all fairness, I think I've only see that level of service in Asia. Room size and decor is 5 stars Bed comfort is a 3, I didnt like their pillow, mattress is average Food is difficult to assess. Everything is chef level, but the issue is the lack of choice. For travelers looking for "regular" food, this is not the place. They take the "retreat" seriously, both spiritually and for the food. Room service exists but has very limited options. My biggest disappointement was the limited wild life in the surrounding. I may have come with very high expectations and unreasonable, while I did see a few animals, dont expect to see toucans when you wake up. Again, that's on me. Now let's talk about prices. Everything is very expensive. I understand they probably have very high cost of doing business given the location, but I think some of the prices are unreasonable. They check a lot of boxes for 5 stars but there is something that is missing. I can see this hotel being a fit for someone, ironically, looking for a retreat... I'm probably the wrong customer for that type of travel experience.
