My 2 friends and I went on a girls trip to do some surfing in Cambutal, and we had such an incredible stay at Sansara! The hosts were so warm and friendly, the yoga and fitness classes were a perfect start to a day of surfing, and Leah the surf instructor was incredible. You have access to all the beauty of the area right at your fingertips with board rentals, beach cruisers to explore and transportation included in the surf package. Sansara has an intimate charm and is beautifully designed. Oh and the spa! I had an incredible treatment there, worth every penny. The room was super cozy and had thoughtful decor and amenities, love that we didn't see single-use plastic. The food and drinks were sooo delicious and healthy with a Panamian flare. There was a different selection for dinner each evening - and the staff were all super friendly. We love how the local dogs are all casually adopted by people in the community and become part of the stay, they are so friendly and sweet! We rode the beach cruiser bikes to explore the sleepy pueblo of Cambutal and caught a ride to surf the beach breaks at Guanico about 30 minutes' drive away. There is a waterfall nearby that isn't difficult to find, and we're so glad that we explored beyond the resort. There are great local restaurants nearby as well. I'm not sure if the resort is classed as "adults only," but when we were there in the low season (September), it was a breath of fresh air to be in a place that wasn't swarming with children; it was mostly couples. The owners' kids came in and out and were super sweet; it was a very nice family vibe that added to the charm. To top it all off, I accidentally left behind some of my gear, and they shipped it to me in the US, which was so thoughtful and kind. What a nice gesture after your guests have already checked out! We also loved the encouragement to do a beach clean and come back with a bag of trash to claim a kombucha or beer as reward. Sustainability is a big part of how I choose where to stay, and Sansara definitely met my standards. I would go back and recommend to friends who are traveling in the area! Thank you so much for a wonderful, peaceful stay.

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving at Sansara and were absolutely delighted with our experience. The team at Sansara had requested our eating preferences in advance, one of us is vegan and the other is vegetarian but with pretty specific eating idiosyncrasies. The kitchen prepared delicious food that was right on point with what we'd specified and I can honestly say that never in my life have I ever eaten food where meal, after meal, after meal, I was just bowled over by how absolutely fresh and delicious everything was. The kitchen is the first we have found in Panama that can do vegan as a CUISINE. Even little things like - no sound of the blender...this seems like a small thing but Sansara was making a lot of smoothies and blended things but we never heard a sound of a blender to interrupt our zen. Then, there was the staff. WOW. They served up smiles and kindness and attentiveness ; everyone genuinely seemed to want their guests to have a spectacular time, taking pride in their delivery of excellent food, lodging and service. We stayed in room Prana and it was so well appointed; the perfect spot to relax. We are already talking about when we can return to be totally pampered and taken care of so perfectly, again. What you have done with your space, team, food and loving vibe really is a magnificent accomplishment. Thank you, Sansara. Thank you.

“The perfect reset”

Unbelievable place. This was my second time going to Sansara. It is a way to completely reset and find yourself in a very healthy way. I plan to go every year. Everything about the place is so intentional and it comes together beautifully - the people, the food, the rooms, the facilities… perfect.

“Amazing experience with awesome hosts - highly recommend.”

We were there for a Yoga retreat and this place is just perfect. I would definitely go there again - whether on a Yoga retreat or a personal vacation. The owners - Janelle and Mike - as well as the whole staff have this amazing yogi energy about them. So friendly, calming and caring. The food every… lisää

The owners - Janelle and Mike - as well as the whole staff have this amazing yogi energy about them. So friendly, calming and caring. The food every night was amazingly put together by Janelle's culinary design and executed by the chefs - at par with any fancy restaurant in Chicago. The excursions, including the surfing options were very easy to participate in and enjoyable.
