Stuff You Should Know

Welcome to glamping's final form, where tents come with price tags that could finance a small lunar expedition ($1,000-$4,000/night, depending on how much you enjoy financial anxiety).

The geothermally heated pool offers the perfect temperature for contemplating your investment decisions, while the Mediterranean restaurant seems confused about its location – both geographically and culinarily (6/10, but the view adds two points). Each tent perches on stilts like an architectural peacock, complete with private plunge pools that are either perfectly heated or unnecessarily warm, depending on Costa Rica's mood that day.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Mediterranean meets confusion, with a side of volcano views

While breakfast arrives at your tent with military precision (and civilian charm), dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant feels like a concept in search of an identity. The atmosphere nails "exclusive jungle chic," complete with live music that reminds you this isn't regular camping. Sister properties offer escape routes from culinary ennui via golf cart shuttle – because when you're paying these prices, dinner should be an adventure sport. The bar, strategically positioned near reception, helps ease any sticker shock with precisely timed welcome drinks.
