โA great place for those who want an affordably priced, rustic, and relaxing vibe.โ
Liked: The location was great - the property was up on a hill overlooking the bay. It was close enough to town (a 10-minute cab ride or 45-minute walk) but still peaceful and removed from the hustle and. bustle of the town. The meals were freshly prepared with healthy ingredients. Nothing fancy, but tasty and filling. The yoga shala was lovely with a beautiful water view. My bungalow was rustic but comfortable. I was a bit worried about not having AC, but the breeze from the water, as well as the two standing fans and ceiling fan, provided adequate airflow. The staff were kind and helpful.
Disliked: The property is alcohol free, which I understand caters to the folks who are there on a yoga retreat. Not everyone is there for that purpose though, so it would be nice to offer beer and wine for sale. I would have enjoyed a glass of wine while sitting on the balcony of my bungalow.

โGo and relax to the maxโ
Liked: Context: We stayed there 3 nights. Not doing a retreat. This place is wonderful. The wooden construction are very nice. The staff is super friendly. The yoga sessions are great. The pool is clean and beautiful. The rooms are big, good looking, with everything you need. The breakfast are big and succulent.
Disliked: You are a bit isolated to San Juan del Sur. It's 15 min by car. The hostel on the other side of the road has some shuttles. At night some neighbors listen to music at high volume. But overall it's a quite place.

โFabulous place for a reset! The food, people and activities are just lovely!โ
Liked: Gorgeous and well taken care of. This place is aptly named. I liked that there were people from around the world but it isnโt a giant business. Very intimate.

โExcellentโ
Liked: Lovely staff, cabins, view, food. My kids loved the warm pool and I loved the big clean beds under mosquito nets. I would love to come back and take advantage of the yoga and resort meals on another trip.
Disliked: Not their fault, but an asphalt yard opened up nearby and makes noise 8am-8pm. Not the pure jungle sounds I imagined, there is baseline construction noise anll day and no monkeys.

โWarm, inviting place for yoga and more.โ
Liked: A calm and peaceful vibe. The yoga teachers were exceptional, and all of the staff were kind. I love the refreshing pool, and the yoga studio could not have had a better view.
Disliked: The rooms are a little sparse. They could do with more surface area for, perhaps, sitting and reading, and even a place to put your luggage. I have to agree with those who said that the beds are uncomfortable.
