El Sabenero is a wonderful, magical place. It is great for solo travelers - everyone is folded in the group when they show up and we all eat together at meals at a big table. Donald makes the most amazing meals and the whole experience is like a warm hug. The yoga instructors are great and adjust for all levels. Make sure you bring your extra strength bug repellant tho - the open air Shala can attract some unwelcome visitors especially during the late afternoon yoga sessions.!

The Florentine adventure was nothing short of spectacular! We started our days with peaceful meditation, energized our bodies with invigorating yoga sessions, and immersed ourselves in the blissful tones of Carolina's exquisite sound healing. Our charming accommodations were nestled in a sprawling farmhouse in the heart of Tuscany, boasting more rooms than we could count. To top it off, our culinary experiences were exceptional, thanks to Kurt bringing on board the talented chef Reinhard. As if that wasn't enough, we spent an enchanting day marveling at the Leaning Tower of Pisa and another exploring the timeless beauty of Florence. This trip was truly a magical blend of relaxation, exploration, and gourmet delights.

My wife and I stayed at El Sabanero from August 5th to 12th of this year 2023. We had a delightful time. Owners Kurt & Harold are very accommodating and make you feel very welcome. Morning yoga with Hector was wonderful, and I appreciated how he made an effort to accommodate the different skill sets of the guests, so as a beginner I did not feel threatened, and Hector encouraged me to pursue yoga practice further. The other yoga gals for evening yoga were awesome too, every one of them. Ana the massage therapist is a keeper too, and highly recommended. Being able to sign up for excursions/tours, and a complimentary shuttle daily to the beach was really nice too. Donald the cook needs special recognition for still pulling it off with a broken arm – salute. We met some other amazing folks as guests there as well. While the place needs a little fixing up here and there, and has aged a wee bit, it still gives it a more rustic feel and more than makes up for that with it’s charm, views, people, features, community, and caring & safe environment to truly enjoy a reset in beautiful Costa Rica. Pura Vida El Sabanero!
