OUR SPACE/HOTEL:

 This modern-style boutique hotel is less than a 5 minute stroll to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, featuring miles of unspoiled white sand and one of the world's largest sea turtle reserves.


Equipped with a sparkling pool, WiFi, and A/C, you’ll be able to enjoy the comforts of 4-star accommodations while still experiencing a feeling of being unplugged and tucked away in this charming stretch of the Pacific coast of Northern Costa Rica.

We have a full-service restaurant + bar to prepare meals and beverages during this retreat. Enjoy fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with delicious options for all dietary needs and preferences.  Experience delicious tropical fruits, fresh caught fish, local produce, and a thoughtfully crafted menu to keep you satisfied.

THE COMMUNITY OF PLAYA GRANDE

Playa Grande is a beautiful, uncrowded beach community that lies just north of Tamarindo along the Pacific coast of Northern Costa Rica. It has a great laid-back vibe and retains the " off the beaten path" feel that Room to Roam seeks. 


 In addition to one of the most consistent year round surf breaks in Costa Rica, Playa Grande is one of the largest turtle nesting grounds in the world. 



WHAT IS RASHA?

 RASHA uses scalar wave, crystalline sound, Rife frequencies and plasma to clear distortions in the morphogenic field. Your field gets distorted from emotional and geopathic stress, medications, chemicals in food/air, as well as drug and alcohol use. RAHSA puts your body and brain into non-resistant states of energy allowing them to return to homeostasis. The base 12 resonant frequency soothes your autonomic nervous system by harmonizing your left and right brain hemispheres resulting in stress relief and transmutation of negative habitual mental patterns. 

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES

 Bach flower essences are homeopathically prepared from the blooms of plants bushes and trees. They are energetic remedies that work to stimulate your vital life force. These remedies work on every level to permanently heal instead of mask symptoms. The remedies flood your body with beautiful vibrations of your highest nature. These are completely safe, non-toxic and have no side effects. 

EFT TECHNIQUES

Emotional freedom technique is used to manage tension in the body and worry in the mind.

The underlying principle of EFT is that all emotions and thoughts are forms of energy. This energy, whether positive or negative, has very real physical manifestations that affect all functions of the body.

While the human body possesses a natural healing potential, stress and emotional problems can stand in the way. This is where emotional freedom technique comes in.

People who experience benefits from practicing tapping techniques find that they help clear their mind, focus their attention on the present moment (much like meditation does) and improve their attitude.

One of the best things about EFT is that it can be done anywhere, at any time, quickly and without the use of any equipment, medications or supplements.


Emotional freedom technique is a self-help technique that involves tapping near the end points of “energy meridians” located around the body. The tapping process is done in order to reduce physical tension and promote a deeper mind-body connection.

This technique goes by a few different names, including emotional freedom technique, EFT tapping therapy or simply tapping.

According to the EFT Universal Website, “EFT has been researched in more than 10 countries, by more than 60 investigators, whose results have been published in more than 20 different peer-reviewed journals.” These include the Journal of Clinical Psychology, the American Psychological Association journals Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training and Review of General Psychology.

TRANSFORMATIONAL BREATHWORK

 Transformational Breathing is a self-empowering and dynamically powerful healing process that utilizes a high vibrational energy force created by a specific breathing pattern. The three levels of transformational breathing will allow you to breathe better, have more energy, feel more peaceful and ultimately attain higher levels of consciousness. Learn how to use your breath to access your electromagnetic field at the cellular level and create permanent healing and transformation. The first level will open and expand your breathing so that you have more energy and support for your body’s natural healing abilities. The second level works on healing traumas and negativity in your subconscious mind such as unexpressed emotions, negative beliefs, old tapes and past memories. The first two levels enable you to utilize the third level of breath work which is consciously connecting with our higher aspects of conscious reality and self.

I had the most relaxing and beautiful time in Playa Gigante with Room to Roam! The beds/room was comfy, the pool was refreshing, the food was delicious and the excursions were amazing (especially the tortilla + cheese making!). Kate + her team are so organized and helpful (and fun!). Hope to be back soon! Thank you!!

Our stay at Room to Roam in Playa Gigante was extraordinary. It started with their transportation from the Managua airport to Playa Gigante - it was seamless and our driver was great and made us feel comfortable at all times. When we arrived we had our first delicious meal at Room to Roam made with fresh, local, and super tasty ingredients by their kitchen staff. Every following meal was similarly exquisite whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Throughout our stay, the staff was amazing, friendly, open, and even ready to teach us some Nica slang. The vibe at Room to Roam is very comfortable and safe. It is a great spot to just relax or pack your day with activities. We did a little bit of both. Kate was extremely communicative and organized, and tailored the excursions and activities to our preferences. Starting the day with some yoga or some exercise additionally allowed us to relax and fully absorb the Room to Roam and Playa Gigante experience. Our excursions were to Laguna de Apoyo, the Masaya volcano, cooking class with locals, and horseback riding (a few of the many possibilities). I can fully recommend all of these activities. The village of Playa Gigante is a chill mix of locals and visitors (very few tourists). The landscape is breathtaking - offering beautiful beaches and opportunities to take walks, ride the waves, or even to explore the area on horseback. It is worth noting that we felt taken care of by the staff at all times. This trip was unforgettable!

I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with Kate, Ashley, Lorenzo and the whole staff at Room to Roam! This trip was truly magical. I was a little nervous to travel for the first time since COVID. Kate took such great care ushering me in to Nicaragua. I was very stressed at home prior to leaving and Kate kept taking things off my plate as I prepared to leave. Upon arrival we were greeted so warmly by the staff. I was instantly relaxed. Marco’s truly does make the BEST passion fruit margarita on the planet! My intention was surf and boy did I fall back in love with surfing, but I am really walking away with so much more- a complete reboot for my body, mind and soul! I’ll be back again soon! PS the food is out of the this world! Every single meal…. Mouth watering!
