Amazing retreat and recharge! I stayed a week at Hacienda Del Sol and had an amazing time. I did the primal diet and the food was delicious, fresh and made with love. Everyone who worked there was attentive, friendly and treated me like family. The rainforest was beautiful and lush green. We did a two mile hike through the rainforest that ended at a beautiful beach. There was yoga each morning and afternoon and a primal fitness workout at lunch time. It was such a peaceful experience and a great getaway. The rooms are roomy and inviting and the beds are so comfortable. I am already looking to book a return trip in 2022. My favorite vacation so far!!

Lovely health retreat in the jungle! I stayed at HDS for 14 nights in September 2021. On the first night, another guest told me that this place "slowly creeps up on you, and by the end of your stay, you will be in love with it". This is a quiet, rustic retreat in the jungle (if you're looking for sleek/fancy/glitzy this isnt it). You will hear monkeys in the trees and see iguanas and lizards on the paths everyday. There will be the occasional bug or spider in your room. You will eat lots of vegetables and maybe some lean meats (the kitchen is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and alcohol free) or if you are doing the juice cleanse, you will drink LOTS of juice at the communal open-air dining room, where you will meet interesting people from all over who are on a similar journey to yours. The juices and smoothies are unbelievably good and you can have them all day if you want. You can do yoga classes twice a day, and nap, and relax by the pool. There is a shuttle to watch sunset at a different beach almost every night. This kind of environment, with its slow pace and low frills, isnt for everyone. But I slept so well there with the rain pattering on my bungalow roof, I did the yoga classes every day, and ate more vegetables than I normally eat in months, that by the end my skin glowed and I felt lighter and de-stressed and generally better than I have in a very long time. It took about 14 days, but I too fell in love, just like she said. Thanks, HDS. Pura vida.

Escape for a few days to refresh and reinvent I visited Hacienda Del Sol for a 21 day stay, starting with Juice and liver cleanse, then two weeks of Keto cleanse eating. Amazing experience, staff are all incredible and work hard to make everyone’s visit meaningful and special. Food was amazing, adventure awaits, be sure to set aside time for a free massage sessions… I’ll be back!

Out of the World ! Second stay at Hacienda of 13 nights, and will go back again...and again...Keto and yoga retreat to rebalance the all body and mind. The kitchen lady team are magiciens, yoga teachers a blast and the massages are divin. This retreat is a perfect place to stay , deep in the jungle , quiet into the wild nature...Thank you to you all to give me so much all the time xxxx

Dreams Come True The pain retreat with Maria Jose was a dream!! After years of chronic pain and exhaustion I’m finally back on my feet. Samantha and JJ are incredible!! I am deeply grateful and cannot wait to return!!

Wonderful location in the jungle close to the ocean Hacienda del Sol and all their staff are really amazing. Had a retreat in June and they created the perfect location. With an ozone pool, absolutely delicious vegetarian food, and a beautiful yoga shala. Options for rooms with fans and options for A/C. Also there are many types of treatments possible. Thanks for being so kind and professional.

My first-ever Yoga Retreat!! I am 57 years young, and this past week I had the good fortune to spend an amazing at 7 days at Hacienda del Sol. I will never forget this transformative experience, and am grateful to the kind, helpful, talented staff at this wellness center. The food was amazing, and we all took pictures of the beautiful meals (except the times I forgot because I was immediately digging into the delicious, creative dishes!). The property was perfect - from the entry to the open-air dining room to the yoga shala - and most especially to the lovely guest rooms. The yoga classes were invigorating, balanced by the ulitmate relaxation spots - the swimming pool and the treatment rooms! I enjoyed two treatments - a Rebalancing Massage (deep tissue) and Therapeutic Flights (!!!), the latter combining acro yoga elements and Thai Massage in a truly unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience that I would LOVE to repeat again, preferably as soon as possible! (Vera, the therapist, was a beautiful, kind soul and I connected with her easily in this unbelievable treatment in which you must be willing to trust the therapist and be okay with being hoisted skillfully into the air). Grateful to have experienced the magic of Hacienda del Sol and would love to return to this spectacular place full of beauty, nature (the Howler Monkeys and beautiful vegetation being just two of the highlights), nourishing healthy food and healing experiences. Thank you to Samantha, JJ, and all the staff... Until next time...

AN AMAZING PLACE Simply stated, I had an amazing month-long stay. I was looking to lighten up both figuratively and literally and could not be happier with the results. I started with a 7-day juice cleanse which was just what I needed to jump start my fitness regimen after this long year (I had never done one before and was surprised that I wasn't hungry all the time and still able to do the twice daily yoga classes). I then moved onto their primal fitness program which uses your body's own weight for both strength training and cardiovascular conditioning. This was particularly exciting as I have been home for two weeks and am using the skills from the program in my apartment for online workouts. Complimenting this was the incredible food. While I'm definitely more of a carnivore, I was really impressed with how fresh and flavorful the vegan options were and frequently chose them over the keto options (which were also delicious, but I want to incorporate more plant-based eating going forward). Vibrant and lush, the retreat is set in the jungle which is immensely tranquil. The staff were incredibly helpful and the late afternoon sunset beach trips were beautiful way to cap the day. If you are looking for a truly relaxing and healthy vacation, come here.

Wellness at its best I was not sure what to expect when I joined a yoga retreat and heard jungle, wellness, and farm to table food, but I was impressed with all three. HDS is this very secluded, extremely quiet, yet modern facility that takes you completely out of your daily grind. I have been to wellness programs before, but with HDS, you can have excursions and other activities, and when you return, it’s about the most serene place you will find. Beautiful landscape, pool, and tucked away places that encourage meditation and calm. The food was equally impressive. Grown mostly on property, they have honed a very nice selection of menus that are extremely healthy and vegetarian (full vegan if desired) with nice flavor and variety. Really excellent and impressive food unlike I’ve had elsewhere. HDS gives you the full off the grid experience if you want or if like me, I still appreciate air conditioning and the internet. Recommended for anyone looking to get fully away. My seven days felt like a month.

Simply Amazing!!! Pura Vida This little gem is simply amazing. It was the ideal place for our Costa Rica trip. The rooms are lovely, and the staff is warm and attentive. The food was delicious, and the wellness activities were incredible! I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to spend a vacation relaxing, discovering herself/himself, and connecting with nature.... Pura Vida
