The local ingredients, the unsurpassed Costa Rican coffee, fresh seafood, vegetables, and meat combine to dazzle and tempt. Life at Essence of Dreams has all the qualities of a luxury hotel getaway but with a wonderfully exclusive vibe.

There is a great beverage center in the kitchen stocked daily with water, juices, and soft drinks, ideal for guests to grab a drink throughout the day. Likewise, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate is available all day. If you want a selection of wines, champagne, beers, and cocktails, you can add this request at the pre-booking stage.

As the day draws to a close, the fire urns are lit, casting a magical glow over the infinity pool. Gathering with your loved ones around the pool and listening to the tropical night sounds is a deeply relaxing experience. Bliss!
