The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

Perfect feel good getaway. Staff was so friendly and helpful, amazing spa experiences and beautiful property. High-end feel without the pretentiousness. Surrounded by nature- I loved the hiking trails and wildlife soothing sounds off my balcony everyday. Perfect size retreat - opportunity to meet other guests if interested but also never felt like too many people at pool or spa or anywhere. Entire experience was relaxing and tranquil. I’ll definitely be back!

The Retreat at Costa Rica has been an absolutely incredible experience. From the delicious meals to the fabulous spa treatments it’s a trip I plan to make again! Jonathan C. provided a mock tail class and the results were outstanding. You won’t miss the alcohol, I promise!

Impeccable. Perfect. Heaven. Not enough words to describe how great this place is. Especially the service all around. The meal service is fantastic. Everyone wears a genuine smile and it’s truly authentic. Jonathan especially has incredible service in and an intoxicating smile. Let’s hope you see him when you come!

Staying at the Retreat is a unique and incredible experience. The staff are extremely warm and attentive and made our stay very special: the reception/management staff such as Emerson and Alex are so helpful and friendly; our tour with Alejandro to Manuel Antonio where we saw a variety of wildlife was so much fun and informative; the restaurant staff including Fabio, Juan, Karina and Jonathan make the dining experience wonderful; the food made by Sergio, Lindsay and their team is an amazing combination of healthy and super tasty; and best of all are the creative and delicious cocktails created by their expert mixologist Jonathan! The spa treatments are also some of the best I’ve ever experienced! I visited with my sister for our birthday and they made it truly special!

The nickname for The Retreat Costa Rica is 'heaven on earth' and it is no exaggeration--a gorgeous setting in the mountains with pristine rooms with views to appreciate the sunset. The chef & team prepared creative cuisine using many ingredients from their own gardens focused on well being and vitality. We took a mocktail course from Jonathan and had drinks unlike anything we had ever tasted. The bonus was the drinks were good for our health too. The spa was remarkable! For the first time I experienced an Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage with Amal Michael. This was the most memorable and impactful body treatment of my life!! Truly he is a gifted practitioner. My husband commented that my face looked different as the worry lines disappeared! We appreciate the entire staff taking such amazing care of us. We are already planning a return visit to our new favorite wellness spa & resort!

The food was delicious and healthy; gourmet vegan (although a protein is always offered if desired). The staff went above and beyond to help make our stay wonderful! The room was tastefully appointed and extremely comfortable. The hotel and grounds are very well maintained, lush and beautiful. The only caveat is that they are expanding the hotel so the construction noise is quite unsettling during the day. This was disappointing given that this was meant to be a serene wellness escape! Apparently the construction will be finished by May 2025.
