After a rock solid year of endless work and no play, I found myself in Costa Rica briefly, in the welcoming hands of three knowledgeable and good-humored owners who have created Panacea, both its proper noun and its feeling. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My stay included incredible yoga instruction, fabulous home-cooked food, and the best reflexology--who knew how... more

This is one of the most amazing trips I've been on. I like the option to have private time and have time to visit with my friends and meet people, as well as the option to relax and be leisurely and also to have some adventure and experience another culture. This trip was definitely that and even more. First, the... more

I loved the experience of being in the midst of the rainforest. The views are breathtaking. I actually saw monkeys in the trees, Iguanas on the roof, and Peter (owner) told us a turtle actually fell from the sky. (dropped by a bird no doubt). I never wanted for food. Owner Debbie cooks 3 vegetarian meals per day which were... more

We picked Panacea based on the fact that it was highly rated and they offered yoga. Well, we ended up staying 2 days and 1.5 nights. Here is... more

Well, yes, it is on a hillside, but you need to be in really good shape to hike the 400' up to your cabin. It is a steep climb, not for the weak of knees or heart. Yoga is at 7 am, so hope you're an early riser. The food is excellent and good portions, tho I did miss having... more
