Better Than Perfect
Not only was the house perfect in all respects, but our chats with Josue were the highlights of our visit. If everyone in the world respected and treated their fellow countrymen the way Josue and his family treats theirs, the world would be a very much better place to live in.

Breathtaking Retreat Nourished our Bodies, Minds, Souls
Josue and his family nourished our bodies with wonderful organic food from the farm, and a wonderful private chef. The Retreat nourished our senses with the breathtakingly beautiful landscape, intimate and pleasing villa design, viewscape, pool, outdoor set and setting which nourished our souls with peace, tranquility, loving attention by Josue and his partners. Josue and the lovely Retreat and Blue Mountain Farms will forever be the highlight of our Costa Rica time. Simply a stunning and delighting sensory and soulful experience here. Gracias Josue! Be well!

Soecial Place
This property is truly magical.We loved being umongst the jungle with room to spread our wings. We spent all of our time outside as the grounds were absolutely stunning. Surrounded by colorful tropical foliage framing the majestic views and the eerie howler monkey sounds made it feel extraordinary. A sweet private path leads down to the river, which is a unique touch to its overall beauty. The property also has a plateau at the top of a hill with the most phenomenal over the ocean sunsets. We would walk up there and have evening bonfires and stargaze into the dark skyes. Unlike the Guanacaste area, we had no issues with mosquitoes. For a morning workout there is a hiking/running dirt path near the property which snakes up to some outstanding ocean views. The La Roka waterfall is just 10km away. It's not the biggest waterfsll, but it's off of an unfrequented grassy path, so we had it all to ourselves. The house is a scenic 10 minute drive to Samara, which has plenty of cute beach bar options and a beautiful clean beach. It is a busy tourist town, so we always looked forward to getting back to our peaceful environment. We loved how secluded and safe we felt. Costs Rica is a very busy place and being able to escape to our little piece of heaven made ours stay in Samara feel so special. Josue was a A+ host that made us feel so welcomed.This stay had many pleasant surprises and made us feel like we were not tourists but part of the community, which set it apart from others.

Paradise at the retreat
I wish I could put into words how fabulous this house/property is. I’ve stayed in a lot of rentals and this by far is the best we’ve ever stayed in. My whole family can’t stop talking about this house and what an awesome experience it was staying here. The view, the howler monkeys in the morning, the peaceful feeling you felt while on the mountain was unlike anything we’ve ever felt before. Thank you for creating such a tranquil place for us to unwind, disconnect and truly experience Costa Rica.

BEYOND Expectations!
The house, the property, and views were beyond spectacular! Before our trip I researched too many properties to count to select the perfect Costa Rica locations and homes for our family vacation. We picked Samara for the beautiful beaches and less touristy vibe. The Retreat at Blue Mountain exceeded all of our expectations! Words cannot describe the beauty of the views of the mountains all the way to the ocean. The house is simply elegant with all of the handmade woodwork. The lush landscaping, pool, and patio area made it hard for us to even leave to explore Samara. We sat on the patio each day watching all of the birds as our teen daughter talked to the howler monkeys. It was an amazing experience. We arrived at the house in the pouring rain and our gracious host Josue met us with umbrellas and fresh brewed coffee. There was also a platter of delicious fresh fruits. Josue stayed at the house chatting with us making us feel very welcome. The next day Josue went out of his way to deliver organic meats and vegetables we ordered from the farm. We could not have asked for a more hospitable host! We're back home in Texas now, missing our incredible mountain views and the kind hospitality of Josue! (One recommendation is for a 4 wheel drive rental. The secluded location is up a mountain. We had no trouble with our 4 wheel drive.)

Very nice property
We enjoyed the wonderful views, upscale accommodations, and the plantation feel of the home and surroundings. The BBQ area was a plus, the pool was refreshing, and the patio table was our favorite place to read and enjoy meals.

Of all the places we have ever stayed, this was the best. The house was perfect. The outdoor space and views were paradise. The welcome and hospitality were unbelievable. The only thing we needed was much more time! We hope to be back soon. From our whole family - thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us!

Awesome stay!
Great quiet location, impeccably maintained with really friendly and supportive staff. Spectacular view. Was able to work remote while enjoying the perfect weather in a serene environment. The pool was perfect for cooling down and relaxing. The location is isolated but conveniently close to Samara’s uncrowded beaches and restaurants. Overall amazing experience!
