Organica Yoga Shelter — Hotel in Paquera

This was such a wonderful sanctuary away from all the hustle and bustle of life in the U.S. The view was breathtaking and waking up to the sounds of nature all around you was something that just cannot be put into words. You really need to be there in person to experience it for yourself. Yann-Erik and Kalu were the most amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Make sure you ask Kalu to make you one of his special Costa Rican Amaretto Sour drinks and definitely experience a kinetic energy massage and spiritual yoga session with Yann-Erik. You won't regret it. This place was absolutely perfect. My friend and I visited Costa Rica for the first time to celebrate her 50th birthday and we just fell in love with Paquera and with Organica Yoga. Every morning the chef made us a fabulous spread of fresh fruit along with a healthy organic breakfast (the avocado toast was my favorite!) to start the day. And this was all included in the price, along with an organic coffee or tea. The chef also made us a wonderful 50th birthday dessert and Yann-Erik and Kalu made sure we had a wonderful Italian prosecco to celebrate the special occasion for my friend. We will DEFINITELY be back. For the first time ever in my career, my coworkers told me that I looked so well rested when I returned that they almost didn't recognize me :-) This is the power of Pura Vida. Merci Beaucoup Yann-Erik and Kalu! Tracey (aka...

Outstanding: unpretentious luxury in a friendly place of unparalleled beauty||10|| ||Liked · THIS PLACE IS AS GORGEOUS AS THE PICTURES SHOW, IF NOT BETTER! Beautiful end to our ten day stay in Costa Rica; we loved it. Jimmy, Megane and Kalu are SO lovely and SO helpful, working to create an even better experience. I lost my bracelet - they found it; our car went flat; they sorted it; we needed tickets for the ferry; they took us. There are only two bungalows, so we shared the whole place with only one other couple - it felt like we had rented the enter place with a big group of mates.||I would highly recommend the food; they bring in a very talented local chef, who cooks locally-sourced and organic food; some of the best I've ever had. I would recommend the fish taco, lobster and poke bowl. They also have a charming barman, who makes drinks on a par with London's best bars. We had two days of unpretentious luxury and absolutely loved it!||The team can arrange a series of activities, and have clearly thought hard about how to provide the best experience for their customers. We went fishing with local fisherman one day, before being taken to a private island to feast on our findings! Megane's a professional yoga teacher, so having a private class overlooking the Pacific at sunrise is exactly how you want to start your day - we were beginners, so all levels welcome.||In short - what a place;...
