Tanna's 40th Birthday Retreat
March 21-25, 2022

A land of serenity and impeccable natural beauty, Costa Rica evokes a sense of calm enriched by adventure throughout the country, making it the perfect location for an unforgettable family vacation that is the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

Potrero-Pinilla is part of this striking territory. The Pacific Ocean washes the warm clear sand and makes it a dreamy place for surfing, boating, long walks on the beach or just sitting back and enjoying the sound of the waves. Hotels and lodges, fun restaurants and tour operators offer a variety of attractive activities to make this an unforgettable corner of Costa Rica.
