Adventure Retreat

We will be picking up our guests from the Golfito, Costa Rica airport. To get to Golfito, you should fly into SJO (San Jose). From there, you will be flying a connecting flight to Golfito. We will assist you with booking your Sansa Airlines flight into Golfito.

No one wants to cancel on an event like this, however, we understand that things happen. Once a deposit is paid, it is non-refundable. After the deposit is paid, the balance is due 21 days prior to arrival and is also non-refundable unless we fill your spot, in which case we will issue you a refund for the final balance. We recommend trip insurance.

I have special dietary needs, can you accommodate them?

Probably, but you should contact me privately so we can discuss your specific needs

Do I need special shots to go to Costa Rica?

Nope. 

My friend and I want to room together, is that possible?

Yes! Of course! Please let me know before arrival.

Should I buy travel insurance?

Life is full of surprises—some exciting, and some less so. While we hope your journey with Women MTB Costa Rica goes off without a hitch, unexpected events like last-minute injuries, illnesses, work emergencies, natural disasters, political situations, or family emergencies can occasionally throw a wrench in your plans. That’s why we highly encourage you to invest in travel insurance to safeguard your adventure from the unexpected!

For the ultimate peace of mind, we recommend choosing a policy that includes a “Cancel for Any Reason” option. This type of coverage ensures your trip payment is protected no matter what curveball life throws your way. Just make sure to read the fine print so you know exactly what’s covered—you’ll thank yourself later!

If you’re considering the “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage, don’t delay! Most policies require you to purchase it within 2–3 weeks of paying your initial deposit. To stay on the safe side, we suggest locking in your travel insurance at the same time (or shortly after) securing your spot with us. Happy planning, and we can’t wait to ride with you!

How do I pay?

Ready to secure your spot on the ultimate retreat adventure? The first six lucky adventurers to complete their registration and pay the $1,000 deposit will lock in their place for this unforgettable experience! Deposits can be made easily with a credit card, and while they’re nonrefundable, they’ll guarantee your spot in the action.

Once the six spots are claimed, we’ll start a waitlist for anyone eager to join the fun. Final payments are due by June  1, 2025, so be sure to mark your calendar! If the final payment isn’t completed on time, we’ll have to pass your spot to the next adventurer on the waitlist—so don’t miss out!

Let’s make this dream retreat a reality—secure your place today!

What are some things I can add as an option?

We’re here to make your retreat absolutely perfect and packed with adventure! Want to take it up a notch? We can arrange amazing extras just for you—like relaxing massages, exciting surf lessons, or surfboard rentals—all at great prices. Let’s make your retreat unforgettable! 🌊✨

Are alcoholic beverages permitted?

We’re all about good vibes and a little celebration on your getaway! While alcohol isn’t included in your package, don’t worry—we’ll make a stop at the local grocery store stocked with beer, wine, spirits, and mixers. Plus, each room has a handy mini-fridge to keep your drinks chilled! All we ask is that you enjoy responsibly, stay respectful at the resort, and keep the pool area glass-free for everyone’s safety. Cheers to an amazing adventure! 🍹🌴🎉

How much cash should I bring?

No need to stress about swapping your dollars for Costa Rican colones—dollars work perfectly here! While grocery stores and restaurants happily accept credit cards, our charming local market vendors prefer cash. To make the most of your adventure, bring enough for those delightful little purchases and tips along the way. Heads up—there’s no ATM in Pavones, so be sure to come prepared. Small bills are your best travel companions here; anything over a $20 can be tricky to break. Happy exploring! 🌴✨
