Location: Most wellness hotels have different focuses: some are fitness-driven, some are food-focused, and others are spiritual, or Spa-oriented. The Retreat Costa Rica is all the above, and more.

Indeed, what truly makes it special is the location, the people, and the energy that permeates this property. The Retreat is perched on a crystal mountain where the energy is palpable the moment you arrive. The crystals bring to the surface of each guest, what needs to be addressed and healed, and it happens almost without thought or intention. The crystal magic works here all by itself and we are here to support.

The staff are magnificently authentic. As The Retreat owner Diana Stobo puts it: hire a person with genuine love in their hearts and care for the wellbeing of others, because you can train and teach the rest. A specific hospitality expert may or may not have the soul of an angel like The Retreat staff members do. At The Retreat, the team pays copious attention to the heart and soul of each staff member because they are part of the experience. They are a family and each one of the guests is part of that family. And when you arrive at The Retreat Costa Rica, you feel home, too.
