Accommodations

Your accommodations are modern and comfortable. You can choose from three options: Deluxe Room, Standard Room with Ocean View, and Standard Room with Garden View. Each room has a ceiling fan, air conditioner, small refrigerator, and patio area.

Deluxe Rooms are the largest of your three options; they are more elegant, and each has one king-sized bed. They are also closer to the swimming pool. Please reserve a double occupancy deluxe room only if you are coming with your own roommate, as the two of you will share the king-sized bed.

Standard Rooms have two queen-sized beds. Ocean View rooms are closer to the ocean than are Garden View rooms, although the difference in distance is minor.

All rooms open toward—and are close to—the ocean. Ocean view rooms have a relatively clear view of the ocean; other rooms have a partially (in some cases, mostly) obscured view of the ocean.

Meals

You’ll enjoy three delicious vegetarian meals daily (non-vegetarian lunch and dinner options available), served on the covered, open-air patio overlooking the ocean and swimming pool. Lunches and dinners offer a variety of traditional Costa Rican cuisine as well as international dishes. Natural juices are available. The resort has graciously agreed to work with us to accommodate dietary restrictions as much as possible.

Weather

As you can see from the photos, you’ll be in a tropical seaside environment. You can expect daily high temperatures to be in the 80’s, with nighttime lows around 70. Humidity is usually not high: around 70%. There could be some rain, but don’t expect much of it. And our beach is on a shallow cove, so the ocean is always calm at the beach.

Transportation

You will fly into the Liberia, Costa Rica airport. There is shuttle service between the airport and our resort, which is a little over an hour away. The shuttle can carry up to 5 riders, and the total cost is about $80. We will arrange a shuttle trip for you if you wish, and when possible, group riders to minimize your cost.

What Guests are Saying

There was just the right balance of sadana and personal time. I had a wonderfully uplifted and relaxed time.

— Carol S., Co

My overall experience was great! The resort was a perfect choice for conducting yoga classes as well as an exceptional environment for meditation. The food was excellent offering a great vegan menu and the rooms were perfect as well. I was very satisfied and would sign up again.

I have never been exposed to yoga or meditation. I enjoyed learning about both and how I might incorporate them into my life. The trip was well organized and very enjoyable.

— Rob C., N. Carolina

Mantradevi is one of the most amazing, loving, beautiful souls I have ever been lucky enough to know. She is a light of humanity: humble, gentle, strong, wise, supportive and inspirational. I truly feel that she has helped me start on a path of living from a higher self.

—VP, California

Melody has a vast level of yoga knowledge and experience. She is one of the most congenial teachers I have ever known, and I always felt very comfortable and relaxed in her classes.

—Pete J., Portland, OR

"Melody’s clear instructions and deep understanding of Yogic philosophy and principles make her an incredible teacher. Her calmness, kindness, and genuine desire to take her students to their next level was inspiring to witness and experience.

—Rachel E., Nevada City, CA

"From the moment you meet her, Annapurna radiates a joy and warmth that can truly be felt. I had the pleasure of interacting with Annapurna as her student in a course at The Expanding Light. Her instructions are always clear and precise. She is artistic and concise with her words. I always enjoy morning sadhana sessions with Annapurna because she is simple and authentic, and I feel deeply calm and at ease after each sadhana with her. The element of her teaching style that I admire most is the grace with which she leads the class to always strive to go beyond the physical body and connect with the higher part of your being through the breath."  --Bharath

"Restorative yoga with Annapurna was more healing than I could have ever imagined. Annapurna's warm and nurturing presence in Restorative yoga class inspired me to get certified in Restorative so I could facilitate the divine healing that was gifted to me. After her Restorative Chakra class, I woke up seeing ultraviolet light. It was a truly unique experience that felt like it  restored my chakras to their fullest potential."  --Christine I.
