If you're looking for restful sleep, relaxing spa treatments and very healthy eating this place is for you. Allan is really wonderful, bringing ice water to the pool or spa and helping with anything you could need. The staff are very attentive. They all speak very good English. Breakfast is tea and a biscuit. Dinner is more varied and well... More

This place was pure bliss. Went with my two teenage daughters and niece in April. It was everything we expected and more. Four days of yoga, massages, healthy food and just chilling by the pool. The staff was kind and courteous, especially our waiter Allan, who was wonderful. The massages were great. I had just gone to La Costa in... More

This hotel is not for the party goer or anyone looking to drink and socialize. As most of the reviews state the retreat is tranquil with breathtaking views. I stayed from November 19th-23rd. I traveled alone for the first time and I am glad I stayed here. The staff was very attentive and arranged drivers for wherever I needed to... More

We went for a weekend getaway. It is so beautiful. It is about a 25 minute ride from airport. The place is quiet and gated. We had the place to ourselves most of the time. It is perfect if you just want to decompress and relax. We had the outlets massage overlooking the mountains. We were aware of the organic... More

Interesting spa concept for a hotel. No TV, no meat, no beer. Lots of tranquility, nice rustic minimalist rooms with beautiful hill views. Great options for massage, sauna, yoga, etc. Now for the not so good: weird location (by the road but far from any interesting villages; no taxi driver from San Jose' will know to take you there); horribly...

Purchased a Groupon for 4 nights at the Asclepios Wellness Spa. No red meat. No alcohol. Yoga. We were two of only 4 couples there. If you want isolated, introspective, system cleansing, meditative retreat...this one works. Not my cup of tea but the girls seemed to like it ok.

I loved our visit to Asclepios! We stayed for four nights with a Groupon Getaway also (or was it Living Social?) and after reading the reviews I was a little fearful of being 1) bored, 2) hungry, and/or 3) attacked by giant bugs. Happily, none of these things occurred, and I am convinced that the people who claim these things... More

There is nothing bad to say about this place. A friend found a great deal on Groupon Getaways and it was the best deal ever. Perfect location for a relaxing vacation to simply enjoy friends. It was nice to be able to do NOTHING and enjoy peace and quiet. The view is breathtaking and the staff is the best around... More

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel/resort. My sister and I wanted a last minute getaway before she started a new job. The hotel staff was amazing, from great recommendations on food to bringing water without me asking for it while lounging by the pool. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable about both spa services at the hotel and activities in... More

I had a lovely experience here – mostly because I was traveling solo, stayed four nights (a perfect amount of time in my opinion) and was happy having the time to read, work, relax, with nominal interruptions. Having traveled alone, I would say Asclepios creates a pretty perfect environment for this. This IS nothing going on, so you don’t feel... More
