Pura Vida Retreat & Spa

I recently traveled to Costa Rica (solo) for two weeks. I purposely chose to travel on the cusp of the high season to avoid crowds. I had the pleasure of staying at Pura Vida Retreat & Spa for the 7 night MInd, Body and Spirit package. My room was Vista type. I got there right when a big retreat (65 people) ended and was the only guest for a couple days...even when other guests came, I could count the total on one hand. The grounds are beautiful. The yoga halls are amazing! There's a nice pool and a hot tub. I enjoyed the hot tub the most because of the spectacular views of the city and mountains. There weren't enough guests to meet the minimum requirement for the offered excursions. I applied my excursion credits to spa treatments. Shout out to Alexandra, Thais and Mar for the top notch luxurious treatments. The front desk staff and concierge were exceptional (thank you Kattia and Jose). The dining hall staff were great. The food was delicious and healthy. They really take dietary restrictions into consideration. Last but not least, the yoga classes were amazing! I had about 4 different teachers over the course of 8 days. Classes were offered 2x/day and I went to almost all of them. The teacher who I saw the most was Tamara. Not only is she a great instructor but she has a kind, calm and beautiful energy that makes you feel at ease. Thank you all~
