FAQ

US currency is accepted everywhere in Costa Rica. Guests traveling from the US and Canada (and many other countries) do not need a visa but will need to provide a return ticket or evidence of onward travel. Your passport must have at least 6 months validity remaining to enter the country.

The staff gratuities are not included in the package price. Tips are optional and entirely at your discretion. The Retreat recommends you tip what you feel is comfortable and reasonable per guest for your stay for the general staff of 13 plus wellness instructors and spa therapist. A good rule of thumb to follow is $25 per day for general staff (pooled), plus any additional tips for individual staff you feel went above and beyond in services provided. The Retreat asks you to tip add-on services providers such as your spa therapist (15-20%) per treatment and tour guides ($20 tour guide, $10 driver) per excursion.

The Retreat’s chefs are fully versed in many types of foods and special dietary needs and can accommodate any special request. The Retreat does ask that you let them know in advance if you have any special needs, diets, or desires.

The Retreat is located on a steep mountainside with high cliffs and edges, however they have taken the appropriate measures to ensure that there is wheelchair access to all common areas within the property.

Yes, the water at The Retreat is safe to drink from every faucet on the property. The Retreat filters the water on the premises with both a 1-micron filter and a UV filter. Countrywide, water quality standards in Costa Rica are generally quite high and visitors normally do not have any problems

The Retreat has fresh infused spring water in your room and at the bar, as well as water stations throughout the property to refill personal bottles. Cocktails, beer and organic wines are also available. Their restaurant is a casual buffet and the staff takes great pride in serving delicious meals. The menu includes a variety of vegetarian fare as well as chicken and fish. The Retreat also adheres to a grain-free and dairy-free menu and can also accommodate vegan, gluten-free, and high-protein diets.

Guests should bring clothes for active daytime, such as hiking shoes, yoga clothes, beachwear, swimwear, and casual daywear as well as casual resort wear for sunset and dinner. The nights can be chilly so light jackets, pashminas, and long sleeves are recommended. The Retreat also recommends a rain jacket or poncho for day trips

The country uses 120V, 60Hz current, and the same for wall outlets. This is the same as the US, so guests from the US will not need adaptors.

Costa Rica has two seasons: green and dry. The Retreat is situated in a very unique micro-climate with mild weather conditions. Their repeat guests tell them that all seasons vary and are unique and wonderful in their own way. Temperatures remain consistent throughout the year, around 76-88 F with some cool nights.

December through May is very warm and sunny with gorgeous kaleidoscope sunsets. February can bring breezes from the ocean. And the landscape may be a bit dryer after March, great for hiking. May through August has gorgeous sunny mornings with lots of natural activity from the birds and local creatures. The afternoon sprinkles or showers can last between ten minutes to two hours, with clear skies at night, perfect for sitting out by their repit to look at the stars. September – November are green and lush with sunny mornings and beautiful afternoon clouds that envelop the Mountain as they trickle in from the ocean, sometimes providing a white blanket that gives the heavenly feeling we want when relaxing and going Inward. 

Yoga wear, hiking shoes, comfortable and relaxed clothing, casual resort wear and bathing suits. The Retreat's boutique has sunscreen, bug repellent, a large selection of resort clothing, hats, jewelry, gifts, yoga wear and other fun items to take home.
