Simply amazing. Everyone made me feel at home from the first day there. The yoga teachers were absolutely wonderful. You feel held and can start healing and relaxing. The food made by the chef is great, everyday I couldnt wait to see what he would create. I highly recommand this place to everyone.

Aa a solo traveler, I had the most accommodating hosts at El Sabanero Eco lodge and everything felt very safe and enjoyable. I appreciate the owner Kurt with his biggest smiles and hugs, as well as his spectacular Monday evening meditation breathing session. All yoga instructors at El Sabanero are high level. Initially I did not think much of a resident instructor Hector but from my second session to the end he scored the highest top stars in his performance as a teacher. Hector provides so many tips how to improve, all what we need is to follow his guidance and keep practicing. I also appreciate general manager Harold for promptly addressing any questions. Food was good as expected. Chef Donald is a favorite personality, likable by all guests. There were four dogs and two cats that work their jobs to accompany and entertain guests, and they all are adorable. My accommodation was a dream: a stand alone bungalow with a private pathway and complete privacy from any other cabins or people, also with a beautiful jungle view. Mattress was strangely squeaking but so comfortable that upon return home I had to buy a new mattress. The highlight of my trip was a shamanic ceremony, which was administered smoothly and efficiently. The shuttle to the airport and to the beach was great; however, Tamarindo beach sand was polluted with oil or diesel from Pacific Ocean cargo boats. The layout of common areas at El Sabanero is conducive to commingling with many wonderful people, promoting communication with other guests from different states and countries. Also, there are beautiful enjoyable walks in the area.

El Sab is such a wonderful, healing place. Kurt and Harold are incredibly caring and supportive, and the staff are amazing teachers. I stayed for a week and had a hard time leaving. The food was incredible and they catered to my gluten allergy. The people who were staying were so passionate and lovely. El Sab attracts the best people. Highly recommend!!! Thanks everyone 💖

Rustic and affordable.

This was my second time and it was truly amazing (again). Loved the yoga and the opportunities to connect with fellow yogis as well as all the opportunities for treatments - from energy work to acupuncture, if you are looking to return home replenished and energized, this is the perfect mix of activity and quiet time. Choose your own adventure! Thanks again, Harold, Kurt and Team!
