The food was excellent. Lovely bathrooms. The grounds and location are well kept. The staff’s willingness to start a bonfire at our request was special. It was great to be offered early check in.

“Stunning resort with a fantastic staff.”
The staff were wonderful. The restaurant was amazing. The tent was really cute and they had all sort of comfort items such as ear plugs and sleeping masks etc. We were the only ones there that particular night sonit was very quiet. It's an absolute stunning resort. Most beautiful I've ever seen. At night you can see all the stars it's incredible.

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 most beautiful stay in Costa Rica”
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!!”
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!
