Casa Merlin Yoga & Welness Hotel

I really loved the staff and the friendliness of everyone. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. Mainly everyone speaks Spanish, I’m not fluent in Spanish just yet but I was still able to communicate well with everyone. The staff and the location of the retreat was definitely the best part about this place for me.

I thought the bathroom was bigger but it turned out to be really small and the WiFi was free and there but it was unstable. Strong in some areas and I would lose signal in other areas on the property. The walls were pretty thin too so if you have noisy neighbors amoungst you, you can hear everything which is annoying at times. I also wish they had some sort of light by the pool so you’re able to go at night. But overall my stay was great.

Staff was so nice and so helpful. We booked at the very last minute due to travel complications. We had a nice comfortable room, lovely pool, great breakfast. A/C was awesome as was the bed. They even had time to schedule massages for us last minute. Massage was very different, but I swear the best massage I’ve ever had. Wish we had gone to yoga class in the morning. They were having trouble with their wifi at the time and had already requested repairs or assistance, but they bent over backwards to try and get us a signal. I would definitely stay here again!

Loved everything about it.

Pool and gardens are really special - howler monkeys, hummingbirds, oropendolas, agoutis, all great! Room clean. If you want peace and nature, this is the place.

I think it’s great for families and couples. But I Don’t recommend if travelling alone or without a car: - Location is away from restaurants and on site restaurant isn’t always open, which means walking down a dark quiet road at night. - Staff not on site after 5pm (is it a hotel?) - No bar on site so no where to hang out and meet people, so not so good for solos. - No yoga when I was there - had to be pre-arranged. Which is fine, but I went for “yoga and wellness”, but no one was doing it Room was v dark unless you had curtains open, which meant no privacy as was glass doors.

Perfect location close to lonely beaches. Nice swimming pool in the garden surrounded by plants. Comfortable bed.

The shower after 1 day was full of water that would not go down, really disgusting and smelly. Even if we didn't have the air conditioning on, in the night there would be so much noise coming from the motor of the air conditioning motor of other rooms. Was then difficult to sleep.
