Everything is relatively new, including the main building. i was in a mountain view room with ac. The balcony outside actually looked into the middle of trees, did not have an... More

Just got back from my blue spirit retreat and feel amazing. The combination of healthy but tasty vegetarian food, gorgeous setting and a daily regiment of yoga and pilates (special to my retreat) has refreshed me and left me ready to come back from vacation and tackle the world. Well maybe not the world but I certainly feel like I... More

I stayed in an eco lodge but there are a range of accommodations from hotel rooms to nature suites to tents. Meals were included and are vegetarian oriented with eggs and fish. No meat. Staff...

Meeting yourself in daily life, and having some quality time with yourself is pretty hard… If you are looking for a perfect place to take a break from the habits of being worried about future and past, to be surrounded in nearly unaffected nature, quiet neighborhood with like-minded people whose main interest is the wellbeing of all/meditation/yoga/peaceful living…. stop looking...

We visited Blue Spirit in December 2012, and while the resort itself is decent we found the location to be less than we expected. We have been to Costa Rica many times, and one of the things we most enjoy is being able to experience the culture and wildlife while we were there. We found both of these to be... More

I suppose you go on a yoga retreat to get back to the present and to stop sweating the small stuff. Well, Blue Spirit will give you ample opportunity to put that attitude into practice! First, I must say, the property itself is stunning. Beautifully located on the Guanacaste coast of Costa Rica the property sits on a hill with... More

I needed to get away and simply "be" and this beautiful place met every expectation. The meals are simple, local fare. The staff friendly, caring and not intrusive. The views -amazing. The beach, breathtaking any time of the day. The divine massage in a tent tent surrounded by jungle? Once I figured out that the howler monkeys were part of... More

I've visited Blue Spirit twice and have had a wonderful stay both times. I do more traveling than my partner, so I arrived alone both times, but because of the atmosphere I made a number of friends for meals and outings instantly. The classroom at the top of the hotel is simply amazing for the view and the ocean breezes.... More

I stayed here for a week long yoga training course. The hotel is really beautiful and the staff was great. I was with an organized group and everything ran very smoothly. Extremely peaceful and nestled in raw nature. Our stay was vegan which was new for me and was very impressed with the food. Didn't know what to expect and... More
