First of all I would like to bring to everyone's attention that Asclepios is a healing and wellness retreat. It's not a resort with everything you can eat and drink under the sun so please do your research before you complain. This is a retreat caters to specific clienteles who are looking for a very healthy, relaxing spa-like experience. I... More

After a year full of of getting married, getting my masters degree and exhaustive job hunting my mother and I took advantage of a quick get away to Costa Rica thanks to a Groupon for Ascleopois. Overall, we had a lovely time and I very quickly fell in love with Costa Rica as a whole, but the resort left something... More

From the moment we walked into the wellness center, we felt calm & tranquility. We did yoga every day, sometimes 2x per day and enjoyed the Hammam/plunge pool immensely. We had our stars read, did a nutrition counseling & had a very interesting Chi Kung class. We laid by the pool and read, with an attentive staff (Carlos) who happily... More

My sister and I just returned from a 7 day program Asclepios. Can't wait to go back. Everything was perfect. I can't think of anything I didn't love. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the grounds are beautiful. I was able to run or walk every morning at the sugar cane/coffee plantation next door. The food was unbelievably good. There... More

Randy and I had a wonderful time of healing here. We have been in marriage counseling with Imago Therapy with http://www.rickbrown.org/ which works! Then we decided to take a healing vacation here to Costa Rica. I can not say enough about the healing atmosphere of this special place. It is magical. Thanks to all staff and to Marisia Jiménez's vision.... More

The place is nice, although they could have done a better job with the landscaping. The treatments where expensive but good, and the staff was wonderful. The treatment rooms are really nice, brick with caña brava ceilings! We had a one day package that included steam room a full body scrub, vinichy shower (highly recommend it), meditation room, a facial... More

We spent four nights here in January 2012. We had hoped for a wonderful experience but didn't get what we expected. The view from the rooms is stunning, and the rooms are beautiful with folding doors opening one full wall to the outside which is great. Although with only sheer curtains, the room was blazing bright at 6 am making... More

I spent the day at Asclepios with a group of girlfriends. Most of us had a day package, though a few of us had a la carte treatments. My $95 facial was decent, not the best I've ever had, but definitely the most expensive I've ever had! It did not last a full hour. We also had a full lunch... More

We booked for a few nights this past November 2011. The staff were professional and (Arelys in particular) extremely helpful in booking treatments and excursions. If you go on the excursions be sure to ask for Francisco. He speaks fluent English and can provide a wealth of information about Costa Rica, its people, history, and destinations. He works through the... More
