Nomad Living CR

10/10 Excellent

"El lugar es muy bonito y limpio. La piscina muy rica!"

The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

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. ❤️🌴"

"Dos veces he reservado y siempre se pasa agradable en ese lugar"

Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection®

"Staff was amazing! It was during the week so very quiet but regardless it was very peaceful. The food was also really good."

Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The only bad part, is the check out time. Too early."

Hotel Villa Caletas

10/10 Excellent

"Simply amazing"

Akua Ocean View Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place was nice for the price you pay! A trek from the Airport , about $250 spent on round trip and an hour and a half each way . The space was nice .. room looks exactly like the pictures. The second night tho the lights , which include the AC went out for about 3-4 hours .. it was so hot ! Eventually it came back on but just a little annoying trying to sleep in that . Aside from those things , the space itself was definitely worth what you pay for and Uber was readily available and was how we got around for the most part. The gate closes and locks at a certain time so we felt extra security with that feature."

La Terraza Guest House B&B

10/10 Excellent

"The place is secluded and the room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Peter was great, he looked after me and was attentive to my needs. We shared several cups of morning java together the day i checked out. This is exactly what i envisioned a Costa Rican B&B would be like. Nestled in a tropical environment"
