The Accommodations

Our home for the retreat is the iconic Tamarindo Diria resort, located in the heart of Tamarindo, a coastal town known for surfing, sunsets, and low-key beach vibes. The stunning property has a boutique-y vibe with lush grounds, 4-star accommodations, and a friendly, welcoming staff. There are three pools, including two with swim-up bars, a tennis court, and massage services. Plus, being right on the beach means you'll waste no time between a fresh and delicious breakfast and soaking up the morning sunshine. The best part? While the property is relaxing and peaceful, you are steps away from a safe local town with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops to explore - the perfect vacation balance with something for everyone!

Itinerary

Day 1:
Welcome to Costa Rica! Guests will arrive at the Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) airport and take a complimentary shuttle to our resort, the Tamarindo Diria. We'll check in and then meet for introductions, welcome drink, and sunset dance class to kick things off. Then we'll enjoy dinner as a group at a beachfront restaurant.

Day 2: 
Today we will kick off our morning with a dance class followed by a nourishing breakfast overlooking the ocean waves. We'll continue with a wellness/reflection opportunity after breakfast and some free time. Later, we'll meet for our zip lining adventure just a short drive from the hotel at a nearby ranch. Dinner will follow the zip lining with a special BBQ with delicious homemade food. If you prefer to skip zip lining, you can hang out at the ranch's pool before dinner. We'll hang out, enjoy some drinks and good company and then return to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

Day 3: 
An early bird yoga class followed by a Cardio Dance Party will start the day followed by breakfast We'll meet for a GROOV3 class and then the rest of the day is free to soak up the sun, explore the town or go for a swim! Other ways to spend your day could be extra activities like a massage, horseback riding along the beach or signing up for a surf lesson! We'll meet again in the late afternoon for a sunset Silent Disco dance party on the beach with optional stops along the way for drinks or snacks! Enjoy a free night to hang out, grab dinner and explore local nightlife.

Day 4: 

Rise and shine for another dance class + breakfast. After some down time at the beach or pool, we'll depart for a catamaran tour on the ocean with swimming, snorkeling, and hopefully a glimpse of some whales or dolphins! Late lunch, open bar, impromptu dance party, and unobstructed views of sunset included. Upon our return, and maybe after a shower, we'll have an option to visit a casual beachfront restaurant for dinner together or choose your own dining adventure.

Day 5: 
Our last day together, time for an early dance class and breakfast. Then enjoy a final dip in the ocean, walk along the beach or stroll through town before checking out and departing for the airport in a complimentary shuttle.

Testimonials

"I love Jessica, her choreography, her music choices, her high energy, her positivity, how she makes everyone feel like family, how she makes you feel like the best you; she brings out the best in you with every class!" - Katie K

"I love to dance but dance fitness classes have never worked for me until I found Seattle Dance Fitness! These classes are SO MUCH FUN! Jessica Gleason is a talented dancer with so much positive energy, her original choreography is always fresh and fun, and the community is warm and welcoming. It's easy to get lost in the downright fun of the class but the effects are long lasting - we all walk away feeling stronger, sexier, and inspired to move more" -
