I spent 8 days at Hacienda Del Sol, and it was incredible. While I expected relaxation and beautiful surroundings, what I received was so much more — it was deeply nourishing, healing, restful, and truly a transformative reset.
Everything at Hacienda Del Sol is designed with care and intention. From the pre-arrival experience to the healing treatments, yoga classes, hikes, and delicious meals, every detail is thoughtful and supportive.
The entire staff — from the front desk and office team to the kitchen crew, healers, teachers, and guides — is warm, kind, and genuinely caring. You truly feel looked after here — not just attended to, but cared for in a way that’s rare and deeply appreciated.
As a solo traveler, I felt safe, supported, and completely at ease. My bungalow was beautiful, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and being surrounded by the jungle made it all the more peaceful.
This place is a special kind of magic, and I hope to be back!
I attended the Mind, Body, Spirit Reset at Hacienda del Sol and left feeling transformed on every level. This retreat is nothing short of sacred—a hidden gem nestled in the jungle where time slows down and the soul remembers how to breathe.
From the moment I arrived, the warmth of the staff embraced me. Every single person—from the front desk to the kitchen, from the wellness practitioners to the drivers—made me feel safe, seen, and welcomed. Their attention to detail and genuine care created an atmosphere of ease and deep trust.
The excursions were thoughtfully curated and led by passionate, knowledgeable locals who radiated joy and pride in their land. Whether it was a guided jungle hike, a breathtaking horseback ride at golden hour, or an exhilarating ATV tour, each experience brought me closer to nature and reminded me of my own vitality.
The plant-based cuisine was a revelation—nutrient-dense, gorgeously plated, and bursting with flavor. Mealtime felt like a ritual in itself. And the special evening events—ranging from sacred dance to clarity breath work—added a magical rhythm to the week that nourished the spirit just as much as the body.
Every healer I encountered brought something unique and powerful to my journey. Their intuitive gifts, compassion, and wisdom helped unlock doors I didn’t even know were closed. I felt seen, supported, and gently guided into deep self-reconnection and energetic alignment.
Hacienda del Sol is more than a luxury retreat—it’s a portal for healing and awakening. If you’re looking to reset your nervous system, rekindle your joy, and reconnect with the energy of the universe, this is the place. It’s where stillness and spirit meet. I’ll carry this experience with me forever.
I was dealing with extreme exhaustion and feared I wouldn’t be able to find a way to re-energize. Hacienda Del Sol was the perfect, utopian experience and gave me just what I needed. The food was garden fresh, delicious and nourishing. The yoga, breathwork and meditations along with the massages and bodywork were so restorative and then the walks in nature and the perfect little paradise they created all combined all brought me exactly where I needed to be. My circadian rhythm reset and suddenly I felt an energy I hadn’t felt in too long to remember. All this in one short week. I highly recommend this experience and I fully intend on returning in the future.
There are not enough characters in this review for me to say how I truly feel about Hacienda del Sol. But what I will say is that for whatever reason you are needing a wellness retreat, HDS will exceed your expectations in every way. It is truly like having a dozen angels taking care of you for the entire time you are there. It is magical.
If you are burnt out and need a reset, this is your place. The staff, food, offered activities, and accommodations are all top tier! Loved my stay. Needed that! You can opt in to have a pretty structured day or you can totally do your own thing and enjoy your hammock all day. Choose your own adventure!
Hacienda is a magical place where you can disconnect from distractions and reconnect to yourself! The program and the vibes are amazing! Within the first 12 hours of being there I felt like a new person, calmer more present and more focused. I highly recommend!
I spent three weeks at Hacienda del Sol. I needed a break and a change and I got so much more. I was skeptical at first. I never even did/had time for yoga before I went, but the place is transforming. It’s beautiful, the people—both who work and visit—are kind and compassionate and supportive of your journey. I felt cared for and guided. You can be alone but never have to feel lonely.
You can rest but never have to feel bored. You can do you. The food is delicious, the healers and staff are incredibly skilled, the classes varied. The clarity breathwork sessions are powerful. I cherished every moment, and when I came home the things I learned and experienced stayed with me. Best thing I have possibly ever done for myself, and inadvertently those in my life. I feel light and at peace.
I am a nature lover and I chose HDS for the jungle setting near the gorgeous Costa Rican coastline. I was keen to see lots of bird species and I was richly rewarded by dozens daily, including the treasured trogons, motmots, and more! Five minutes after checking into my perfectly appointed room I stepped out into my back patio to take in the view of the trees and was greeted by a troop of howler monkeys! They hung and swayed in the branches, many with babies attached to their bellies. Each evening the HDS shuttled us to a different beach for stunning sunsets. Pura vida!
The daily morning meditation and yoga was centering and expertly guided by a rotating member of the wellness team. These and other breath work sessions were welcoming and carefully delivered by supporting and knowledgeable practitioners. The yoga studio is elevated above the main buildings, nestled in and open to the tree tops so that you are treated to visits from the magnificent feathered friends and comforted by the breeze and sounds of the jungle waking up. Pura vida!!
The creative kitchen staff made eating salad, fish, shrimp, and fruit a daily delight. Their juices and smoothies were exotic concoctions made to instantly boost your energy.
I learned a lot from the spa staff who introduced me to reiki and fascia stretching. This combined with a massage and honey body scrub helped transform me from tight and tense to open and in touch with my better self.
I’m so grateful for your role in creating such a beautiful, peaceful, and powerful place to heal and reconnect with positive intentions and interactions in our world. Your gift extends beyond the jungle all the way back to home where we bring our lessons and experiences with us through story and energy!
Truly a magical experience. My partner and I are both late 20 year olds with intense corporate jobs (finance and consulting) and we were begging to lose touch with our inner selves and our relationship as a whole.
We found hacienda more than rejuvenating. After our one week stay we left feeling centered, grounded and ready to take learnings back into our daily lives. They allow you the space for your own path of activity level. The food was also AMAZING and the staff was fantastic. Looking forward to coming back!
The best vacation I have ever done for myself! I felt safe and well taken care of the whole time! Very peaceful, quiet, great food, amazing classes, professional and kind staff!
I loved the pool, hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, sunset shuttle to a new beach every night, healthy juices and smoothies throughout the day, amazing body treatments that made this trip one of the best healing experience!
Can’t wait to go back for another solo trip!
I had an incredible stay at HDS. The environment, accommodations, food, and community of people were truly magical. If you truly want to relax, detox and recharge – this is the place. So good for mind, body and soul. I would definitely go back.
This is the absolute best place to reset your body, mind and nervous system. I have been going every year for the past 6 years. You are treated like part of their family the minute you step on site. regardless of whether it is your first time or 10th time. Simply perfection.
