Tips

  • Book the sauna a few hours ahead — it is heated for your session
  • Good base between Jacó (20 min) and Manuel Antonio
  • Ask about the whole villa for birthdays, retreats or a group of friends
  • Book the sauna a few hours ahead
  • Beach: 2 min drive / 10 min walk
  • Sauna, then ice plunge, then pool

Good to know

  • It is a tropical garden: insects are part of life here
  • Rainy season storms can cut power for a few hours
  • In the hottest dry-season days the A/C may not cool the room very low — the pool helps
  • The pool has no gate — watch small kids
