Retreat Leader Information Guide

Greetings from Samasati Retreat and Rainforest Sanctuary. Thank you for contacting us! Samasati oers the perfect location for groups and we welcome your retreat.

At Samasati your group can unwind, relax and discover the natural wonders of the rainforest, taste organic and exotic cuisine, develop healthier practices for living, or connect with like-minded travelers.

Located on the expansive Caribbean Ocean in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, Samasati sits amidst 250 acres of lush rainforest jungle, gardens and mountains. Below our mountain, we are surrounded by pristine beaches, which are far removed from overcrowded tourist attractions and distracting influences.

Our accommodations are Casitas and the Guest House (along with several beautiful custom homes that can be rented).

Each are carefully placed within the rainforest to provide the best views.

We specialize in group bookings and can help to make your guests comfortable with the right accommodations.

Sincerely,

Liseth Carpio

Reservations Manager
