What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

The Retreat is the brainchild of celebrity chef, two-time best-selling author and Health and Wellness Life-Coach Diana Stobo. Diana goal was to create a transformational wellness center literally Heaven on Earth where every day people could come to escape the chaos and stresses of their lives and take an opportunity to reset their internal sense of balance in a nurturing and gentle environment.

THE RETREAT is a luxury wellness destination located less than 45 minutes from San Jose International Airport. This bespoke boutique hotel is nestled in the arms of a quartz mountain and overlooks a stunning balcony to the Pacific Ocean with panoramic views extending over 60 miles across the world-renown beauty of Costa Rica.
