Honestly, going in blind, trusting that a small backpack and a Visa card is all I would need.

It's one of those places you want to tell everybody about, but then think twice....because you want to keep the gem to yourself.

Had a 3 night stay at this beautiful retreat/resort. We had one very hot day, and there is no air conditioning. So we retreated to the bungalow, sitting under the fans to try to cool off. I'd pick my time going there to coincide with the less tropical weather. But, the bungalow is open to the sea, and it is a unique and quaint accommodation. I'd go back to the same room again, happily.
The food is interesting, but vegetarian more often than not. I'd like a little more meat in the diet. Having said that, the food is VERY healthy and fresh and locally procured. And, the food was actually delicious. The home made food, and especially the deserts, were very tasty. The breakfasts were also especially good and generous. I actually looked forward to the meals, which are served family style.
The property is a surfers' and yoga practicioners' dream. We don't surf or do yoga, but so enjoyed our stay. Altho a little difficult to get there, it is very worth being there. Would gladly return to Costa Dulce for a restful retreat.
