Dear Kajal V, We are located on the south Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and therefore enjoy a very different climate compared to the rest of the country. As a matter of fact, Samasati, which sits on a mountain perch overlooking the sea, has it's own microclimate. Year round we get rain showers overnight, early morning or late afternoon. These showers do not last long and on the mountain we enjoy slightly cooler temperatures than directly on the beach. Nonetheless, we do get slightly more rain in July and December. The second week of June should be excellent with warm water in the Caribbean as well. We recommend a stay at the new luxury villas at Banana Azul as the perfect compliment to our rainforest sanctuary experience. They are directly on the water and a little closer to the town of Puerto Viejo. Thanks!

Dear Sandra R, At this very moment the gift shop is out of sunblock, however, sunblock is available for purchase at the grocery stores and markets in town near the beach. Our gift shop does carry other lotions, oils, scrubs, etc that are locally made and organic. Thanks

Hello sabrinagatliff, To fly into Costa Rica you'll fly into SJO airport (Juan Santamaria Airport) which is located in San Jose. From there it is a 4hour drive to Samasati (options include public shuttle bus or private car). Additionally, flights are available to reach the Caribbean coast in just 30 minutes. We recommend a domestic flight on Sansa airlines which take you to Limon airport, a short 30 - 40 minute drive from Samasati. We hope that info helps! If you book at stay at Samasati our reservations department can assist you with booking airport transfers. Thanks

Hello Sandra R, The rooms do not have alarm clocks or hair dryers, you would have to bring your own, no power plug adapter needed. You're welcome to use a cell phone alarm or listen for the morning howler monkey call ;)

Hello Sandra R, Thank you for reaching out with your important question. We draw water from natural sources and rain catchment on the mountain and then filter it through a state of the art multi step filtration system. This water is then provided at water stations for guests. You can fill up your reusable container as much as you'd like. However, if there is not enough rainwater to filter, we use purchased water to fill our water stations. Water stations are open round the clock in the restaurant and in yoga studios. We hope that answers your question and feel free to reach out if you need more assistance! thank you
