Me and my girlfriend just spent 8 magnificent days in this wonderful yoga and spa retreat. This was our best vacation ever. We had been treated as a loving members of the Family. Owners, Peter, Mary and Debby created a true spiritual enclave in the middle of the beautiful tropical forest where howler monkeys and exotic birds were our fequent... more

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at Panacea for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the location, the cabina, the facilities, the food, the yoga, and the hospitality. The owners were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. We looked forward to each of the vegetarian gourmet meals. The yoga was challenging yet relaxing and classes were very small so... more

Each time I visit Panacea I am inspired by the beauty of the mountain, the yoga and the fabulous, fresh, vegetarian cuisine (3 separate times for more than a week each time). The kind, friendly souls that built Panacea,make it more than a relaxing yoga spa. I will return again just to hear the Howler monkeys while I practice morning... more

This place is simply wonderful - the setting is absolutely spectacular, high in the mountains overlooking Tamarindo beach; the yoga is terrific, both for novices like us and also for more experienced practitioners; the food is divine; the reflexology, massages, facials etc are similarly great; and so on.... We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay from 10... more

After 3 days at Panacea de la Montana, we left extremely happy, refreshed, and ready to share our fantastic experience with others. The resort sits high on the mountain slopes 15 minutes inland... more

If you want to be as close to nature as it can be without sacrificing comfort that our civilization provided us (such as hot water, soft bed, and home cooking) - this is the place you want to be. If you want to be treated as part of a family - this is the place you want to be. If... more

My mom and I stayed at Panacea de la Montana for four days, though when I arrived I felt like I'd always been there, while I was there time seemed to disappear, and when it was time to leave, it seemed like I'd been there a lifetime. I can't think of a better word to describe my experience at Panacea... more

If that title appeals to you then Panacea might be a good place for you. Those were two of the first things I encountered when I arrived at Panacea de la Montana. Ghandi is the name of one of the three great dogs that belong to the owners of the place. He greets every car with great fervor and chases... more
