Vida Mountain Resort & Spa Adults Only

This resort is remote and yes it’s off some crazy roads but I live in the country in the US so it didn’t bother me at all. We got to the resort late and we were met by awesome staff who kept the restaurant open for just me and my daughters. June is rainy season in Costa Rica and it rained pretty much the entire 48 hours we were there. It was peaceful I wish we could have enjoyed the views that we knew were out there but rain is rain. Erica was wonderful for spa services. The restaurant was good, remember it’s remote so that seemed to be our only option but the chef did great on most of what we ordered. Ok so my favorite thing was the yoga Shala. Ya’ll if you practice yoga or meditation this building and the thought and intention behind it is incredible. The perfect location for a yoga retreat during the non rainy season. The other favorite spot of mine was the tea room. It was like being transported to India in a cosey colorful plush zen space Osho books and all. I think I read in there for 2 hours while it rained. Alexandria, the manager is the sweetest and so helpful to us. And again the rest of the staff just really attentive and nice. A couple of things we missed somehow were shuttle pricing to the airport so check on that before you go. Also, the water heaters are solar so if there’s not a lot of sun you’re going to not have the warmest shower but it’s an eco resort so expect that. I’d go back but if I was in lodging there that had a kitchen I’d bring food for snacks or breakfast so you’re not relying on the restaurant for every meal. Tranquil, beautiful, clean with really attentive people on site. Perfect for a remote yoga retreat, couples romantic getaway or some time with grown children or friends in a calm serene environment on top of the mountain jungle.

After bouncing over Costa Rica’s notorious back roads, you will not be prepared for what awaits you when you turn into the Vida Mountain Resort. Manicured grounds led us to a bright, spacious room looking out over the infinity pool and a sweeping view across the hills all the way to the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Wow! This small, family-owned resort is a true gem. The service and food were excellent. We were treated to a private sound healing session in the yoga studio, which was a totally soothing experience new to us. There are nature trails to explore and a hot tub to enjoy when you come out of the pool. We did not want to leave!

Stunning views and scenery from any point on the campus. The food is excellent, and the service / staff top-notch. The lodging was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The number of amenities relative to the maximum occupancy is over the top! This is the perfect place for retreats, yoga or meditation workshops. The place has a very well-cared for look and feeling throughout.

If you’re looking for peace… this is the place. The chef, the staff, the food, THE VIEW! uh the view I will miss the most. We did cacao and sound therapy at the resort. Hiked a few trails and had the best massages of our lives this weekend. Thank You Alejandra for making those things happen for us!

Picked this place to stay for 1 night coming from Tamarindo to be closer to the airport the next day and to try and "relax". The drive up was absolutely horrific. One way rocky, super narrow "tracks" crossing streams in sections. Completely dangerous and unsafe for tourists to be using (The road to San Jose on the other side was however fine). After finally making it there late, we realized this resort is located right next to a cemetery! The staff greeting us were very sweet and even kept the restaurant open late to give us some food (simple cuisine) which was appreciated. The rooms were simple and the beds/ pillows not so soft or comfortable. The design of the walking path to the restaurant passing in front of the rooms could be problematic for privacy! The views were lovely and the place was very peaceful with no noises, however overall cannot recommend this place.

This is a very beautiful place. The best is the view 360. In the front you see the Pacific Ocean, in the back you have the imponent Mountain, and in the sides, beautiful nature and SILENCE!!! The worst part was the road. I have never felt that scared in my life. I decided to take the road from Puntarenas directly to the Hotel, instead of going directly to San Ramon. PLEASE DONT DO THAT. Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy the SPA, the only therapist got sick, and the Forest Ritual was off due to the Holidays. It was a shame not to enjoy the whole experience but steel I was able to rest.

This mountain retreat is perfect for the land lovers. The sceneries are breathtaking. So much forest therapy and nature all around. Plus the rooms are very clean, the staff is friendly and the locals are knowledgeable. If you are looking for a retreat in nature to experience the Pura Vida life, I highly recommend Vida Mountain. Local destinations. Local food. Local coffee. Local life.

Beautiful oasis! Small quiet resort with fantastic service. The views were gorgeous. The food at the on-site restaurant was delicious. Wish we had been able to stay longer and enjoy more of the property and surrounding town. We would definitely stay here again.

El mejor lugar para conectar con la natureza, hacer yoga y descansar en la piscina. Este lugar tiene espacios y jardines hermosos todo muy yogui. La comida es deliciosa. Los senderos son a un bosquecito hermoso. Se siente mucha paz. La mejor atención. Super recomendado
