    It was a little far from the activities we had planned, so we had to drive more than expected. But I am still glad we stayed there.

    I loved the place—it was so peaceful and quiet, and the tents were really comfortable and clean.

    This place is very unique. It is a project created some years ago ona huge property in the mountains. It combines a kombucha production, a hospitality x yoga retreat and soon a community of expats. We loved the quality of the amenities (showers are out of this world, tents are comfy and restaurant very well designed), the food (local products) and the super friendly staff.

    The facility is excellent. The staff were incredibly nice and made the stay even better. I wasn’t expecting much from the food but it really blew my mind. I loved the food so much. Couldn’t get enough of the shower.

    Truly magical experience. It felt like something out of a storybook. The property was serine, it’s hard to describe the beauty. The tents were so cute, and every morning they would make up our room with fresh towels, made bed, fresh flowers & sometimes fresh fruit. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Every meal was made fresh with food farmed on the property. We are vegan and they were able to accommodate every meal and truly ate like QUEENS this entire trip, soo delicious and always stuffed! Lots of activities you can partake in or just enjoy the serenity and relax. The bathrooms were shared (obviously it is glamping) but they were gorgeous. HIGHLY recommend

    Nothing!

    We are still amazed by the beauty, the peace and tranquility, the hospitality and the view of Kinkara. Kevin and everyone there gave us a warm, personal welcome with a homemade kombucha, before showing us to our tent. While there is no personal sanitary facility (this is camping!), Kinkara has the most beautiful and clean showers and toilets we have seen on our journey. This is a great place to work, relax, do yoga, and many other things.. Also, the food is so incredibly good and healthy, and made with love. We cannot wait to come back!

    Glamping at its best: if only I could have stayed longer!!

    I did not like to leave the tent at 4 in the morning to use the toilet but then it's part of the experience, which I adapted to very quickly. ;-)

    Kinkara has been the highlight of my 4 weeks in Costa Rica. For a fist time 'Glamper', I had an amazing time staying in this property. Location, the tents, staff and food are all topnotch, and to top it all just great vibes, it's all a breath of fresh air and quite literally at that; the ever-changing view from the hill top is mesmerising. The real beauty of Kinkara are the people running an amazing show from your arrival until departure - just to name a few - Katherine, Hardy, Kevin, Jorge, Brandon, Gustavo, (and everyone else that upkeeps this beautiful landscape) are at your disposal and with a big genuine smile. Hardy took me for a hiking on the bike that ended in swimming in the river - I enjoyed it very much! (Thank you Carlos, for our very interesting chats over at breakfast and dinner - you've got an amazing team and with you as their boss, they are going to places - keep it up) Food was exceptional, all around healthy menu but very smartly engineered menu that keeps you wondering what will be next. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were different menus everyday of the week and boy it was so deliciously great!! Kudos to entire F&B team and Chef Yuneth was always there with a big smile to make sure your expectations are met. It was very hard to leave but I know I will be returning to Kinkara, so until then!

    this place is nice but I think is overrated. I was expecting a much better service than the one we received. I have had the opportunity to be in Luxurious hotels and this is not what I have seen before

    clean and nice
