Huertas Experiences
True to our promise of stimulating your senses through distinctively local experiences, Andaz Costa Rica invites you to experience an authentic farm-to-table dinner. Start your day visiting El Triunfo, a local rural town located within a 20 minutes drive from the resort, in the company of one of our chefs. Thanks to non-profit Creciendo Juntos, ten families of this small and rural town learned to till the land and create gardens in their own backyards, as an opportunity to face the adversity that came with the pandemic. These gardens were adopted by our resort to provide the fresh vegetables that we serve on our plates. During this experience, you will be able to visit up to 3 families, who will open their doors warmly and with our signature tico smile. With your own hands, you will harvest some of the vegetables that our chef will use to prepare a magical dinner for you and your family. The menu will be totally personalized based on your preferences and the fresh produce harvested in the morning. There is a fee to partake in this activity .
Supporting The Community
Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo is very proud to partner with Creciendo Juntos (Growing Together), a nonprofit organization that has changed the lives of thousands of children and families in Guanacaste for 20 years. Supporting the objectives of Growing Together, this alliance seeks to promote the integral development of children and young people from 19 neighboring communities, including 21 educational centers, the association’s preventive medicine clinic and hundreds of families living in conditions of poverty and extreme poverty. Since its opening, Andaz has promoted various programs that have contributed to the well-being of these communities. Currently, due to the global pandemic, we have adapted these programs to focus on meeting the basic needs of these communities that have been greatly affected.
Wellness
Our holistic approach is focused on our three landmarks of wellbeing, Feel, Fuel & Function. The 11,000-square-foot ONDA Spa is nestled deep in the back of the resort amongst the jungles and houses nine lavish treatment rooms, including four couple’s treatment rooms.
