    Vikara is an incredible place. What distinguishes it to me are the small group sizes (8-9 people max) which allows everyone to bond closely and to fully absorb the teachings of the medicine women and men, as well as being right on the beach! I truly became a plant medicine enthusiast overnight after experiencing transformational heart and psychological healing. I left this retreat more connected to myself, my partner, and the earth than I have ever been. And I can't say enough good things about the staff and the curanderos, all of whom are beautiful, heart-centered people with so much wisdom and knowledge. I felt very safe in their hands and would definitely go back and recommend it to others. Leaving was the only terrible part! Being right next to the ocean was so soothing. The rooms were very nice with everything you need, and everyone was so kind and attentive and easygoing. Also, the food is so delicious! We felt very taken care of <3

    We had an incredible time at Vikara and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Roey, Colas and team were incredible and made us feel so comfortable, relaxed and welcomed. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I would love to go back!

    We're on an 8 month trip through Latin America and our short stay in Vikara was a birthday gift for my wife. The local house-staff were all brilliant, Kimberly made us feel so welcome and Colas was absolutely incredible. The space they have created is calming and tranquil and overall it was a really great experience.

    Amazing experience at Vikaraliftstyle. It is a great place to unplug and take advantage of all the offerings the property has. Roey and Iris were fantastic and really do care about their guests. The rooms, breakfast, and location were all great. I look forward to my return.

    Olon is a very quiet and local place to enjoy weekend days and couldn't imagine a more peaceful, clean and well located stay near the beach. Rooms spacious and modern. Airco works well. Breakfast very good. Owners and staff also very friendly and guest focused. Would definitely go back.

    Nicest hotel! The design is perfect. Picturesque pool, open patio with couches and pets and right on the beach. Fresh fruit prepared for breakfast with eggs cooked to order. Warm atmosphere with a gentle breeze from the pacific. Plenty of washing off places after coming back from the beach. Front and back entrances make it very convenient to walk around Olón or go to the beach. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Lush grounds with banana, papaya and flowers.

👍👍 I can understand where the negative reviews come from, but you're simply not going to get a pristine 5-star establishments by the beach - especially in a place like Olón. Get ready to make some sacrifices. That out of the way...this place is wonderful! The design of the place really feels like you'r...

😠 The pictures on booking are outdated. The place isn't well maintain. I guess covid did not help with that. We felt like living in the german owner house more than in an hostel. Not such a friendly welcoming either.
