Bring your group to Hacienda

Meghan Telpner

“I had the pleasure of running a sold out retreat at Hacienda del Sol in 2013 and it was more perfect than I could have imagined. From the moment we arrived on the property our needs as instructors and those of our group were met in every way. The food was amazing, the space perfectly tranquil, and the facilities invited my guests to unplug and fully unwind and get their healing on. The stunning beaches that are a short drive, or adventurous walk away are the place to be for sunset.

I can't recommend this place more highly. In fact, I loved it so much that when my husband and I were in need of our own escape, we booked ourselves a perfect retreat for two and came back in 2015 to enjoy the same bliss that our guests experienced on our retreat. If you are looking for a quiet escape, deep in the Costa Rican jungle, to immerse with your group in all aspects of health, healing, nature and escape- this is the place to be.”

“As a yoga teacher and life coach, offering the absolute best to my students and clients is very important to me. Facilitating and leading a yoga retreat, as anyone who has undertaken it knows, is a big responsibility. I have brought two large groups of students and clients to Hacienda Del Sol in the past 2 years and have just re-booked my 3rd year. After two incredible experiences, I have no intention of going anywhere else.

The staff, the grounds, the amenities, food, spa services, activities, you name it.... are top-notch at Hacienda. There was easeful communication right from the time of booking, and the needs of the participants were always taken care of. Some of my clients are senior leaders in their industry, and they were blown away by the beauty and tranquility that Hacienda Del Sol offered them.

Essentially, everything that I felt responsible for as a retreat leader, that wasn't really in my control—ensuring the participants were provided with safe and comfortable accommodations, nourishing food, caring interactions with staff, safe transportation to and from the airport and activities—Hacienda met and exceeded expectations. The choice to run my retreats at Hacienda means that I get to focus on doing my job: delivering high-quality yoga and meditation classes, while making sure I connect with everyone on a personal level. There is something truly magical about Hacienda Del Sol—the land, the people, and the seamless integration of all of the pieces that make this retreat centre what it is. I can't speak highly enough about it; and sincerely recommend it to anyone looking for the optimal retreat experience.”

We can not thank Hacienda Del Sol enough for an absolutely magical week.

As the leaders of the group we were responsible for the happiness of 15 guests- we were a little bit nervous. From the moment we stepped foot on the grounds, however, it was clear we had nothing to worry about.

The property is gorgeous- green and plush with a great pool. They have an amazing organic garden and a very cool gardener who will show you around and tell you all about the trials and tribulations (and iguanas) of farming in Costa Rica.

The rooms are beautiful- you can tell a lot of thought went into their design. Many of the rooms have outdoor bathrooms and all are airy and vibrant with comfortable beds.
The staff can only be described as enchanting. Everyone is kind and happy to help: the embodiment of Pura Vida.

The food was outstanding- each meal was a unique culinary experience. Meg, the chef and raw food genius, made certain that every meal was delicious, abundant, and creative.

Throughout the week we felt as though we were home with family. Perhaps the most telling testimonial is that one week after leaving we booked our next stay. We can not wait to go back to Hacienda Del Sol. We can't wait to go back home!
