Hotel luxueux et relaxant avec vue ocean
Depuis notre arrivée jusqu'à notre départ nous avons été traités comme des princes. Le personnel est super accueillant et souriant, et toujours prêts pour s'assurer que tout se passe au mieux. Nous avons apprécié la visite de l'hôtel et l'explication de son concept zen. Le restaurent de l'hôtel est délicieux avec des produits frais du jardin ou des environs. La vue est à couper le souffle sur la nature environnante et va même jusqu'à l'océan pacifique. Le spa est très relaxant. C'est un hotel assez jeune (moins d'un an) mérite le detour pour une coupure zen et reposante. Le wifi est disponible pour les mails et envoyer de super photos. Merci encore à Hans pour tout. 2 jours c'était très court mais nous reviendrons.
Bonjour Frederic, Merci infiniment pour votre chaleureux commentaire que je m'empresse de partager avec toute l'équipe! Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir et nous espérons vous revoir de nouveau pour un autre séjour zen, un peu plus long cette fois :-) Un abrazo de la part de toute l'équipe! Sincerement

This is a MOUNTAIN resort. Meaning there are very steep hills and to stay here you need to be very fit to be able to climb those hills to spa, restaurant, pool. Felt very bad for older people who had difficulties doing that. There’s no room service. Rooms are located on steep hills. Breakfast starts at 8:30! This is the latest breakfast we’ve ever had to have - we wake up at 5 and like to start our day early. Spa is nice. Steam room is very cold, can’t even get a steam higher. There was power outage one day for a couples of house and you’d think that a 5 star hotel would have a generator, but had to take a cold shower… Internet was out during those few hours and if you still need to do some work - you can’t.

Potentially lovely but now past its best
We were really excited about this stay having read all of the reviews but ended up disappointed. We received a room upgrade which we were grateful for but the room was very tired, particularly the bathroom area which had a handful of areas of damage. The room was also dirty, which we pointed out with photos to staff and they kind of asked us why we had looked for dirt (which we found when we moved a unit to plug a charger in) and there were multiple hairs in the room. They did do a “detail clean” but we keep our own house cleaner. Additionally we were woken by grounds keepers making loud banging noises every morning at 6am. Additionally they pride themselves on their food which we found to be average and $57 per person for dinner which we thought was expensive for the level of the food. On the positive side the communal areas were very nice and we had excellent massages.

This was the easiest vacation I've ever been on as far as the hotel having the most popular tours available and creating a personalized daily schedule. Hotel staff do take you on each tour so you become comfortable with every one you interact with. Meals were my biggest worry going in but they were all well seasoned with good portion sizes and 3 courses with every dinner-- we had fish most nights and beef once during our stay. If we visit again, we would choose a more inclusive package as it was very easy to spend $1000/day between tours, treatments, and meals for 2.

Quick weekend break
Gorgeous stay at the Retreat! We ate well and relaxed - the place is done very, very well, with beautiful views and very comfortable rooms. The only complaint I have is that the mattresses could have been better (which is often the case in hotels). We didn’t get up to much on our short stay besides lounging by the pools and in the spa and working out in the perfectly well equipped gym, but we did do one yoga class which was lovely - the studio is beautiful. The wildlife on the property is fantastic - incredible flowers and landscaping and peacocks, other exotic birds, butterflies, iguana, fish. The property is new and the spaces are very well appointed and extremely comfortable. It was only a 1.5 hour drive from San Jose during rush hour and only took us 30 mins to get to the airport to leave (not during rush hour).

The retreat gave stellar service. From the moment I stepped to the front desk I was greeted with a fresh juice and cool cloth. I received a tour of the beautiful property and then escorted to my room. The food delicious, the yoga class was amazing and all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Grissela at the front desk packed a beach bag for me for excursions, the 2 chefs I seen the most were very kind and made vegan meals, Thank you Chef Sergio and his apprentice. Big thank you to Gustavo I believe is his name he gave a wonderful tour of the property and was very helpful throughout my stay. The property is safe the views are breathtaking. Wish I spent more time just at the hotel. It is extremely tranquil and relaxing.

The Retreat is situated in an area voted to enjoy the best climate in the world! That is debatable but, what is not debatable is the wonder that is the Retreat. We spent five days there, probably not long enough but managed to totally unwind and relax. The rooms and bed are most comfortable and the atmosphere very zen. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food is healthy and delicious but don’t expect burgers and chips here! If you are thinking about coming to the Retreat, don’t hesitate a minute longer.

Mere words are insufficient to describe this amazing property!!! From the awe inspiring beauty of the mountain setting, the impeccable design and layout of the property, unbelievable landscaping, the genuinely friendly and helpful staff, to the most incredibly talented chefs I've seen ANYwhere!! THIS is THE place to be. Diana Stobo has set out to create something very special here and she does not disappoint. They have evidently done well enough in their short time (2014) to add on with the construction of a new spa and eventually more loft-style rooms. At the same time they refuse to give in to the pressures of a commercialized hotel property catering to the masses. Instead they remain true to their values and passion to provide the ultimate experience for their guests, and that is a peaceful, beautiful, tranquil space to RESET! (No children allowed here) Don't wait, you have everything to gain by staying at The Retreat. I promise you'll want to book your next stay before you leave!!

TRANQUIL & RELAXING
The hotel is gorgeous with fantastic mountain views. The staff is attentive and the facilities are beautifully appointed. Dinners are a bit pricey but all are fresh and local, though options are few and meat is generally not on the menu. Location is not great considering that there is a very steep drive to get to the hotel and it is challenging driving to and fro in Costa Rica to the tourist areas. I would suggest splitting your stay, half in the forest and half at the beach to avoid taking the car as much as possible. There is uber and it is half price or more compared to the local taxi or hotel shuttle service. The hotel is great if you just want to chill and relax!!!!

Dear guest, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad that you had a relaxing time with us and enjoyed our service and facilities. To answer your comment, our concept of cuisine is fresh from farm to table and we always offer either meat or fish for dinner. For lunch, we have a vegeterian and non-vegetarian option, sorry to hear that it was not made clear to you. Thank you for sharing this, we will work internally to improve our communication about this. Regarding the drive to the hotel, we always offer our complimentary valet service when our guests come with their own car. Although it is a paved road (unlike other places in Costa Rica), we understand it can be challenging if you are not used to it, so we invite our guests to let us take care of the car. As you recommend spending half of the stay to the beach, I think it is a wise option. We are only an hour drive from the Pacific Coast so it can be done easily! Thank you very much for your time and we wish you all the best

Amazing retreat experience with best food & staff.
This was my retreat experience and was delighted by the place. I see that EXPEDIA rates it at 3 1/2 star but would consider this place much higher. The place is very new and decorated in a calm, simple but yet stylish way. The setting on the side of the mountain offers stunning views and the sound of the forest is so peaceful. I was blown away by the attention of the employees, they are genuine and kind. If you are concern about the semi/raw diet...don't be!! I was so surprise on how good the food is, the Chefs are very creative and will offer dishes with tons of flavour. I think that was one of the highlight of my stay; the excitement just before a meal. It's an open style kitchen and you are welcome to attend some wellness/cooking classes with the Chefs. It's very educative and fun!! I also wanted to visit the idea of doing a bit of yoga while on vacation, and the teachers were also very attentive and adapted their teaching to my level (which was beginners). I am now hooked on this practice and will certainly pursue it...I want to thank the entire team to have made me feel so special and welcomed. I travelled on my own and believe that I made friends for life ....it was just the best!!
