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

My experience at the Villas Lomas was so much more than I could have imagined. Not only were the facilities and grounds absolutely beautiful, the staff was so genuine and put positive  intention and care into all of their work. I embarked on this retreat to refocus my consciousness and realign my priorities and Villas Lomas provided the tranquil space and positive interactions that I needed to create this change in my life. From the first moment of my arrival, Max and his team ensured that I felt comfortable and made themselves available, even through extreme rain and flooding.

Chris, our chef, personally delivered the meals that he had prepared and took such genuine time to share his experiences and listen to mine. The food he cooked was a delicious variety of local Caribbean dishes and ingredients and Chris happily told us of their origin and cultural influences. I look back on my meal and conversation with Chris as a quintessential example of the connections that I had hoped to make on my retreat.

On our last day, I had the pleasure of experiencing my first massage surrounded by the sounds of the rain and forests. My masseuse, Roxana, was so friendly and warm. She ensured that I had the most peaceful and grounding experience possible and I really noticed the small things she did. Roxana’s personal touches shone through in the tranquil music that she selected, the meditative mandala that adorned the linens and beautifully scented oils that she mixed herself.

From the first moment that we met, Max shared his youthful and open energy as well as his passion for holistic living and consciousness. His generosity left me searching for ways to pay it forward and leave a positive influence on others. Villas Lomas are aesthetic, spacious and modern escapes in the Costa Rican rainforests. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful and they were the highlight of my experience. I hope to return again someday and in the meantime, I highly recommend that others take some time for themselves in this beautiful retreat.”

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.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Wow! What an experience! This wasn’t my first time to Costa Rica but this was my first time trying the ease of an all-inclusive package… and I’m so happy I did it! Roxanne and Max were excellent hosts. Check-in was a breeze and included a yummy little gift bag. The villa was spacious, clean, and very well kept. Roxanne took care of all the details of my trip, including having a hot, fresh, authentic Caribbean dinner ready for us upon arrival (Chef Cristian is the BEST!), followed by a rejuvenating, one-hour, in-room full body massage (AMAZING!). Roxanne was available at all hours and answered any questions I had and was very quick to offer to handle any communications and/or reservations for us. It felt like they had anticipated every want or need we might have had and were ready to provide for us. I loved it. I would most definitely book another trip through Roxanne and Max. If you want a stress-free experience with some added perks, these are the people and this is your place!”
