“Second Prime Retreats provided me with the unique opportunity, to decompress while experiencing the eclectic cultural diversity of Costa Rica’s Caribbean.”

• Charles, Los Angeles

“SPTR is the only way for mature people to travel. Professional and knowledgeable, they remove the worry and hassle out of the experience, so that you can enjoy every moment of your Caribbean adventure. This is a good value for high quality services.”

• Stephen, California

The experience was great even with some distance considering the initial ideas I had over the retreat. I had an amazing experience in Samasati last week. You own a stunning place and work with great people! It has been a great feeling welcomed. Thank you to all the staff! I was expecting to reconnect with myself and with the primary rainforest, meet great people, those objectives were fully met.

• Xavier, Switzerland

“Unique & inspirational adventure-retreat no matter what age! I can’t say enough about my experience with Second Prime Retreats.  From the genuine kindness, hospitality and professionalism provided by staff members Max and Annie – to the astonishingly clean, comfortable and new accommodations of the Villas – to the fresh, delicious & locally authentic cuisine prepared by Chef Christian-to Roxanna’s revitalizing & personalized on-location massage, our all-inclusive vacation package provided the much-needed respite and renewal from mid-life responsibilities and tensions.

We felt very secure in our private villa overlooking the Costa Rican rain forest, yet minutes away from the Caribbean coast!  A perfect choice if you like to watch Macaws, connect with nature, engage in motivational conversation and experience the goodness of life!”

• Mary Beth and Larry, Chicago

“Truly a one of a kind experience. Roxanne and Max’s team took care of everything and it couldn’t have been better. From the outset we were greeted with gift bags filled with goodies and necessities for our stay, scheduled our massages and choose our dinner selections.

We were given some time to explore the decked out private villa and even got to take a quick dip in the pool. After our swim we were greeted by a masseuse who pampered and spoiled us for an hour each. Perfection! Cristian’s meals were an experience in itself, Caribbean cooking at its finest. We took time to explore the local cuisine while we stayed in PV. To top off waking up to breakfast every morning, we were greeted with pastry late morning as well. Truly a five star experience, wish we had booked with SPTR for longer.”

• Omari, New York City

“Great retreat setting, great climate, cool nights, loved the jacuzzi and hikes in the primary forest. I had a great week.

• Fritz, US and Costa Rica

“SPTR is located in the beautiful and laid back beach town of Puerto Viejo. The owner, Max, is a fun and friendly guy who has the ability to instantly make you feel at home. I enjoyed the Shiatsu massage by the beach with the sounds of rain and ocean waves. The chef, Chris, makes excellent dishes with local ingredients and species. I would recommend SPTR to anyone who wants to experience a major transformation in life.”

• Wen, China

 “Costa Rica’s Caribbean is beautiful and enchanting. Second Prime Retreats provided both relaxing and transformational experience. A great company with lovely and positive people, focused on your complete satisfaction.  I highly recommend Second Prime.”

• Sophie, Italy

“This was our second trip to Costa Rica, and was much better than our first visit. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the Caribbean natural bliss experience.  We learned from the first trip that Costa Rica is a very expensive country, especially for food and transportation. It’s referred to as the (Switzerland of Central America) due to the inflationary prices for goods and services. SPR is a solid value as a hedge against the high prices. Fresh delicious chef prepared meals alone, makes the retreat experience very cost effective, coupled with comfortable lodging, on-time private transportation, adventurous tours, daily activities, planning, logistics and a great team of people. SPTR offers a total and exceptional All Inclusive package. We love SPTR, and you will too.”
