The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

Good food and drinks.

We told the staff that their peacock would not leave our balcony. There was nothing they could do to remove him, and he kept us up all night screeching right outside our window.

Property itself is beautiful. The common areas are lovely and the pools are amazing. Everything is immaculate. Despite being rushed off their feet, the two guys running the bar/ restaurant were extremely nice. The chap who gave us a tour of the hotel on arrival was really nice and helpful. There are lots of animals that live in and around the hotel - really fun to see peacocks and coati’s just wandering around.

Not enough bar/ restaurant staff to get a drink by the pool. You have to go up to the bar. The food is distinctly average. It looks nice and very well presented but tastes very bland. We didn’t like having to stick to a set menu. Would prefer some choice or to be able to pay for things not part of the full-board offering. By comparison to the common areas, the room was mediocre - poor finish Check-out was odd. No one asked how our stay was and didn’t really say goodbye. Weird experience. Felt like there was an air of arrogance among a lot of staff.

Staff was welcoming. Called you by your first name throughout your stay. Food was amazing. Spa services were excellent. Room very comfortable, beautifully appointed, and the view to die for.
