Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica

This was an incredible resort experience. Staff was wonderful, and I absolutely loved morning yoga/ pilates on the beach. It was a fun big group every day and perfect setting for class. Plenty of shade and nice breeze. I met so many amazing people from all over the world, and many of them came to class every day. The entertainment team was so helpful and kind! The rooms were extremely clean and property was gorgeous. My kids had a blast at all of the pools and watching the monkeys. The food and drinks were delicious. All around fantastic resort, and it was such a treat to have the opportunity to teach here. I am very grateful to fitbodies for this amazing opportunity! I highly recommend this place.

"I just returned from my first teaching experience. It was incredible!!! Dream las Mareas was fantastic! I taught one class a day on the beach at 9 am each day. I had 3-9 participants each day! It was lovely meeting so many wonderful people and enjoying all the resort had to offer! Roberto is amazing for an excursions or ideas outside of the resort. Rachell in concierge took amazing care of us the entire trip. Jeffrey in entertainment is a bright light and hilarious. There we tons of marked GF options at all the restaurants. If you want a massage on the beach Angie does a great job. There is nightly entertainment and activities for kids all day long. I highly recommend this resort and their amazing staff. Be careful when tide is low in middle of beach. On last day stepped into a sea urchin which was horrible. They staff took wonderful care of me. Can't wait to experience another Dreams resort.

Katherine always met me 15 minutes before class with mats and towels. When we needed more, the security staff would notify her. I appreciate the consistency. This was the best check in/out experiences. Our room had a stellar view and everything worked. Our Amstar drivers were excellent as well. We tipped the Amstar drivers $25 because they only earn about $20/day. My sister and I were treated with high respect. The team made us feel a part of the team.

Yoga on the beach - amazing!

Yoga is on the beach and poolside. The general manager attended my classes and let me know whenever her schedule prevented attending. She was really amazing and really appreciated my classes!

Love this resort! Great students, so sweet, and from all over. The staff is incredible. Teaching on the beach is the best.

What a wonderful resort! The food, grounds, pools & people were all top notch. CLASSES: 8am to staff & 9am to guests. Entertainment team is awesome, they set up the mats/towels for you each morning and then you just have to bring them back after class. I have done a few teaching vacations now and this is at the top of my list, I shall return again. Also kids club was very entertaining for my 4 y.o with many things to do each day. Things to note: this resort is very secluded from shops/restaurants/towns and is approx 1.5 hours from LIR. For tours/airport transfer we used “Tony Expeditions” and he was absolutely phenomenal! We did a jungle trek (sloths, monkeys, lizards, crocodile etc) and a sunset ATV tour. Highly recommend Tony and his team.

The entertainment team was absolutely lovely, gracious and kind. We had a wonderful time, the resort was fabulous and the people were beyond kind. Our experience overall was amazing and we plan to book another trip ASAP. It was a very smooth experience. Yoga on the beach didn't need music - the breeze and waves are perfect.

The Hotel GM took my class every day, along with some of her staff, and was so warm and interested in her Yoga practice. In fact, she even helped me with an excursion later in the week - so "above and beyone". The entertainment staff was also very friendly and helpful. Overall, a very positive experience working with the entertainment team and the GM and her team. Would definitely come back again soon! My first teaching vacation, loved it, and look forward to my next one! Very smooth arrival and connection with Amstar shuttle - all flowed nicely.

Overall this is just such an awesome opportunity and I am beyond grateful for this program. We booked a personal transfer. It was great. I love Costa Rica.

This was my 7th teaching vacation, and definitely at the top of the list. Pros: 1. It's HUGE. The pictures don't do it justice. Want a party scene? Go to the lower pools. Quiet and serene? Upper pools. 2. The "vibe". Everyone is chill. No rush...but not in a bad way. People just move slower in Costa Rica, and it is honestly refreshing. It truly feels like you're in a foreign country, but you're not uncomfortable. I felt like I relaxed deep to my bones. So needed. 3. I taught 2 classes/day, one at 8am for the staff, one at 9 for the guests. 4. Every room has a balcony/patio with a huge bathtub. That back patio facing the jungle was my very favorite place to be, whether in a rain storm (so cool watching thunder and lightning back there), or in the early mornings. We saw so much wildlife just from that back porch--a crab right below our room, monkeys, birds, geckos, iguanas, white squirrels. It was literally wild. 5. Food/drinks are really good. Advice: 1. Bring bug spray, esp when you teach. There's lots of ants and bugs that will bite whenever you go outside. Get unscented bug spray and it won't bother you. We all came home bug bit, but again, not in a bad way...it kinda added to the wildness of the trip. 2. Book an excursion at least one day. Join the Facebook Fans of Dreams Las Mareas group and you'll have plenty of advice to choose from. 3. There's some local ladies who do massages right there on the beach. It's $30/30 minutes. I got 3 while I was there. I did it day 1, and it totally put me in the right mindset. 4. If you want lobster while you're there, you can go offsite to El Indio restaurant. They will send a cab to pick you up for free, it's maybe 3 miles away. They gave us 3 lobster tails for $38...it was so much I couldn't even eat it all. 5. Order the "Green Monster" drink. Delicioso!

This is a great place to have teaching vacation. Great programs for kids!!! Adults entertainment is great as well. Travel to Costa Rica is easy. No COVID testing required. Resort has well defined COVID policy.

Hi, I taught Yoga on the beach. No music, just the sound of the waves! I walked around and invited guests to join, Smart TV. The hotel staff and entertainment team were great! Loved the Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica resort, I highly recommend!
