Panacea de la Montaña was a small yoga retreat on a hillside in the mountains of Guanacaste, near Santa Cruz and inland from Tamarindo, with views toward the Pacific. It suited solo travelers, couples and small groups of friends who wanted quiet: guests walked the garden paths and a labyrinth, swam in the infinity pool and rested in porch hammocks, with optional daily yoga and day trips to the nearby beaches.
The cabins
Guests stayed in individual cabins (cabinas) set among native trees, with single or double beds, private bathrooms and windows on all sides for the breeze. Some had an outdoor shower too. Meals were healthy, home-style food served by the pool. Guest reviews also mentioned that you needed a four-wheel drive vehicle to reach it.
