The Room to Roam Surf & Yoga retreat exceeded all of my expectations. As first time in Nicaragua – Playa Gigante, I so appreciated the structure and support Room to Roam offered and absolutely loved being immersed in the local experience of Playa Gigante. Both the surfing and the yoga were an amazing physical challenge but personally tailored to each person in our group. My room was perfect - very clean and comfortable and the gardens and grounds within Room to Roam are gorgeous. I found the retreat a perfect mix of relaxation and activity. The food, drinks and staff at Room to Roam, was a highlight as well. I left with new friends, open minds and full hearts! So grateful to have had this experience and highly recommend it. I plan to return very soon!. Kate, Ashley, Layna, Hanna and all the Room to Roam staff are truly a group of exceptional persons and professionals… they know what they are doing!!! Big Thank you!

Not only was the purpose of the trip - the fitness and wellness portion put on by Nicole Hansult, our coach- well organized and rewarding, but the rest, relaxation, and side trips were second to none. I didn’t even notice the 30% of the time that I had to divert for work! After spending most of my life traveling continuously worldwide, this was one of the most pleasant trips I’ve ever taken, highly relaxing, and with the best camaraderie throughout, not only with the group I went with, but with the staff and even other locals. After 40+ countries visited across more than 600 trips (maybe even many more), both business and personal, during the past 35 years, I can say this trip was among the top-rated and most enjoyable.

If you are on the fence about booking... THIS IS YOUR SIGN: Don't hesitate and book your retreat asap! I just got back from a Work Retreat hosted by Room to Roam at Hotel Onda in Costa Rica and I genuinely cannot speak highly enough about my experience. In the first day and a half our Team got to see 1) A female black turtle (one of the largest in the world) give birth 2) Repel into waterfalls and jump into water caves at the LeLeona Waterfall tour 3) Attend a traditional bull riding with the locals and even... get in the pen! Later on in the week we rode horses, surfed, free dove, zip lined, went tubing, to the hot springs, and explored Tamarindo. When we weren't off adventuring, Hotel Onda was a cozy, comfy safe space for us to chill. We spent countless hours poolside and lounging in our private, air conditioned rooms and playing with the cute local pups who visited us daily.... Finally, the FOOD! DEAR GOD! I think one of the biggest benefits of booking our Retreat was the inclusion of all of our food at the hotel. I have severe food allergies and am often very concerned about eating when I travel; however, our Chef and his staff not only made me meals that I could eat but meals that I couldn't wait for. I HIGHLY recommend the vegan tacos and chia parfait but truly, anything you get there is going to be delicious! Kate, the Owner of Room to Roam, genuinely couldn't have done a better job ensuring our safety and happiness during our stay. Our Team now has memories of a lifetime and I can't wait until our next Retreat to experience more room to roam!

The Room to Roam Movement and Mindset wellness retreat totally rejuvenated me. Kate provides detailed instructions, making it easy for novice travelers to off-the-beaten-path destinations. The planned activities are designed to be restorative, fun and challenging enough to grow; and yet, the days are flexible, so if you want to hang by the pool then do it. As someone with significant food challenges, the team makes every-successful-effort to accommodate, providing scrumptious choices. The rooms are comfortable, although most of the time is spent in the common area. The cultural immersion gives back to the local community and expands your horizons. I can't wait to go to the next destination!

As busy entrepreneurs we wanted a one-stop-shop trip where everything was planned for us so we weren’t spending weeks researching things-to-do. We told R2R what we wanted to do when in Costa Rica and they arranged everything before our trip - horseback riding, the rodeo, waterfall hikes, hot springs, speciality diet meals, surfing, night life, transportation, and more - and even Covid Tests! The experience was flawless. It was adventurous yet safe, there was freedom yet direction. Every single person on my team had an incredible time and I recommend R2R for any single person, couple, or group looking to live adventurously, but wants the convenience of having all activities set up for them.

The trip was amazing. Room to Roam went above and beyond in every way. The food was great, staff was awesome and the surf was epic! Thanks to whole Room to Roam staff!

My friend and I decided to join this retreat with no expectations...we just packed a bunch of bikinis and went for it. Little did we know we were embarking on a life changing trip that would rank as one of the best of our lives. The resort was storybook...perfect indoor/outdoor living, pool, hammocks, a full quiver, icy A/C in our rooms, and a warm friendly staff like no other. The food was a highlight...pure, fresh, and local and my body never felt better. Located across from the beach in a quiet part of town, this is the ultimate getaway. When we arrived we were so excited and said this could rank in the top 10 of our world travels, and by the end we had ranked it #1. We will be back.

This was such a great experience! There were six of us from San Diego in our group. But that didn’t matter there were others visiting from other areas in California. We had such a good time. The day trips in the van and on pangas to visit different surf spots were amazing. It was so great to be able to come back and eat amazing food! Room to roam really takes care of all the details. We are fans of this place!

I felt completely relaxed for my weeks stay. Breath work/sound wave healing & yoga classes could not have been better. The staff was delightful and the food first rate. The help Room to Roam owners Chance and Kate provided with all aspects of travel arrangements was the best I’ve ever experienced. Kudos to Room to Roam for making this vacation the best ever!

Wow! I had An amazing to with Room to Roam Retreats. I can't say this enough or tell you enough how this trip had changed my life. Definitely didn't expect this trip to be life changing. I don't travel alone much, But Kate and her staff welcomed me home with open arms. Answering all my non-stop questioning and motivated me to have fun. This might sound bizarre but I don't usually do things for myself let alone by myself, but Room to Roam guided me along every step of the way to Nicaragua, during my stay, and back home. Thank you.

We had an amazing trip with just the right amount of adventure, exercise, relaxation and the food was incredible. The entire staff was accommodating, kind and fun to be around. The water and sunsets were magnificent! I am already planning my trip back! Perfection.

Kate and Chance run a professional, high quality, all encompassing travel ,retreat program. The pre-trip communication was detailed and helpful in regards to what to expect and what was needed to travel to Nicaragua. Ground and air travel was seamless, no surprises. Upon arrival to the hotel, we were greeted warmly by Chance and Kate and their staff who are nothing less than professional yet fun and very helpful. The food and drinks were all fantastic and healthy. Vegan and vegeterian options were deliciously accommodated. I am the type of traveler that wants to be spontaneous although I do like planned excursions and you were able to do both with this program. I took this trip to get a much needed break from the Covid restrictions in SoCal and the relaxation, beauty, warmth and exceptional service and product which I experienced with Room To Roam was exactly what I needed. I will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you Chance, Kate and staff for making my trip to Nicaragua such a memorable experience.

Booked Costa Rica trip for a 10 of us for a work retreat through Room to Roam. One of the most incredible trips of my life. Kate help with every detail, from start to finish. Only a couple of things were actually scheduled so that we could enjoy days to relax and roam as well. Waterfall excursion to La Leona was definitely a highlight for me. The accommodations were perfect, the food was fresh and delicious and the staff were incredible. Our team bonded more than I could have imagined and we hope to do this again every year.

I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Room to Roam. My work team and I went on a week long retreat, and left with memories that will last a lifetime and more bonded than ever before. Kate was so attentive to everyone and everything; flight details, dietary restrictions, activity recommendations and scheduling, COVID requirements, and more. During our stay, the team accomplished SO much! Waterfall hikes, surf lessons, horseback riding, turtle sighting, shopping at local markets, swimming, tanning, free-diving, zip-lining, relaxing at natural hot springs, AND even got some work done pool-side. The choice of location was also 10/10. Quaint enough to get some relaxation time, close enough to the beach to walk at your convenience, and not a far drive from the bigger cities. I couldn't be happier with the experience as a whole, and would absolutely recommend Room to Roam as well as utilize their services again in the future. THANK YOU KATE!

Room to Roam made my trip to Costa Rica one that I will never forget. Everything from the planned experiences to the food was SO well put together that it instantly made me feel at ease and on vacation, which doesn't always happen when I visit new places for the first time! Huge thank you to the R2R staff who made my stay even more enjoyable. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely LOVED my time with Room to Roam! A perfect way to explore beautiful Nicaragua. The staff was wonderful, the food amazing, and the overall experience was one of the best trips of my life. I loved how all the details were taken care of so I could relax and choose what I wanted my time to look like. Can't wait to Roam again!!!!
