Guest Reviews

Above and Beyond

"Kinkara Luxury Retreat is magical. From the attentive staff to the on-site grown and prepared food, the beautiful architecture to the decor and lighting. I would move in to my tent if I could. A highly recommended experience."

Paradise in the heart of Costa Rica

"I stayed at Kinkara Luxury Retreat for one week. I highly recommend Kinkara Luxury Retreat for the incredible land that it is on, where they have developed a sustainable ecosystem that grows all the food that is deliciously prepared by the amazing chef and staff. It is a true back-to-nature, back-to-self experience with lush gardens, a river, horses, birds. The Kinkara Luxury Retreat staff was so kind and attentive and the service was excellent. I hope to return someday soon."

World-Class Eco Luxe Glamping For Total Peace of Mind

"Highly recommended for a corporate retreat or family reunion! We now have booked and completed two executive retreats at Kinkara Luxury Retreat. Both times we brought 44 top executives and entrepreneurs, all of whom were completely blown away by the experience that we created in partnership with their amazing team (whose talent is on par with some of my favorite luxury resorts in the world). If you are ready to 'simply be' fully supported in every way (stress-free) and completely immerse yourself in a nature, then look no further than Kinkara Luxury Retreat. You will get to experience living on the land at one with Mother earth with farm-to-table meals, wake to every sunrises, timeless sunsets, star gazing, exploring 800 acres of private land on horseback, putting your feed in ponds with lotus flowers, yoga, and so much more. Oh, how I already miss my time there and look forward to our return in a few months. A night of rest there is the equivalent of three back home. Sweet dreams!"

Amazing food, amazing staff, incredible experience

"I came to Kinkara Luxury Retreat for a retreat and LOVED every moment of it. Let's start with the staff. They are professional, caring, senses of humor and took exceptional care of us. Then, let's focus on the food which was off the charts. I admit I gained a few pounds because their all their food was delicious. Then, let's chat about the absolute beauty of the location. The mandela garden, the yoga space were breath-taking. Finally, the glamping was enjoyable, the tents comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend the location."

Absolutely Magical Stay and Unbelievable Food!!

"This was my second stay at Kinkara Luxury Retreat and I really can't recommend it high enough. The land is beautiful with amazing energy, the staff is so loving and attentive, and the food is beyond words. If you are looking for a magical stay in the mountains of Costa Rica, don't think twice, just book!"

Amazing 1st Costa Rican Experience

"I've never arrived directly on property by plane!! The arrival experience of this place is something we will never forget!! The food and the landscape along with the service and friendly staff made me feel right at home!! Seeing the Chef pick herbs from the garden for our dinner, to the yoga and waterfall hikes makes this a place to truly escape to! We can't wait to return."
