Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful, quiet, great facilities and the kitchenette had everything I needed. The bed was really comfy and being able to get Netflix was a great bonus as a solo traveller. The ice bath was AMAZING and the pool was stunning!! The hosts were so nice, had a great variety of classes in the yoga shala (additional cost) a few food places that deliver (take cash if you don’t have a car like me) a shop within walking distance which stocked most things you would need, walking distance to the beach and driving distance to some great towns, beaches and restaurants. I felt really safe, comfortable and at home here. It was a wonderful stay and a lucky find!
Negative: My room was quite dark inside in the daytime which I know is probably on purpose to keep it cool but I was doing a working retreat and was hoping for a bright / well lit space. Definitely more of a me problem 😂! Could maybe do with some more sun loungers around the pool - there was only once during my stay that they were in use when I wanted to use them but if you were hiring the space as a retreat centre and gave everyone some downtime it would maybe be an issue.
Summary: Beautiful, peaceful, dreamy ❤️

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It is a magical space with a beautiful pool. You can also explore a trail within the private property, a supermarket next door, and a few restaurants within walking distance. The owners take care of you and are very responsive. You can also take yoga classes in a shala on your own, book massages in your room, or just chill and enjoy the brand new facilities.
Negative: Everything was perfect!
Summary: I definitely recommend Balu Retreat!

Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was rather remote, in a small gated community. There is a market that is at the entrance to the property and a really nice beach about a 20 min walk away. The pools and dogs on the property were the best part. Logan is a great host and we will be returning
Negative: Everything was amazin

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Balu was a really nice place to stay and the hosts are such nice people. They ask daily if there’s anything you need. Always have a chat with them as they work around the property.
Negative: Emails did not come thru in Costa Rica so any accommodation emails were not received. Road signs & roads are not great. Food is horribly expensive.
Summary: Relaxing in the sun!
