Varaa tämä, jos You want to float above San José in a glowing orb with a glass of wine and zero intention of leaving your deck.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- The 'floating' catamaran nets on the decks are pure Instagram gold
- Private hot tubs with unobstructed views of the glittering Central Valley
- Breakfast delivered in a basket to your dome door
Pikakatsaus: A stunning visual escape that feels isolated until the acoustic reality of the city traffic below drifts up the mountain.
Arvioinut @saminabatyrova: I booked this glamping dome for my 22nd birthday and it was a total dream. The views of San José are insane, especially from the jacuzzi at sunset. It felt so private and luxurious—perfect for a solo reset. Definitely get the marshmallow kit for the fire pit!

- You prioritize aesthetics and views over proximity to museums
- You want the camping vibe without touching dirt

FAQ & Piilotut vinkit
Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.
Is there AC?
Yes, the domes have air conditioning, which is rare for glamping but necessary for the humidity.
Is the road scary?
It's paved but steep and narrow. Uber drivers manage it, but nervous drivers might sweat.
Are there bugs?
It's Costa Rica, so yes. However, the domes are well-sealed. Keep the screen door closed or you will have moth roommates.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a full local breakfast (gallo pinto, eggs, fruit) is brought to your terrace.
Can I bring my dog?
Policy is conflicting (some sources say no, others say 'conditional'). You must email them directly to get approval.
Is there a pool?
No swimming pool, but every dome has its own private outdoor hot tub.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- ✨
Order the dinner package in advance—the pizza and wine by the firepit is better than dragging yourself out to a restaurant.
- ✨
The sunrise view is actually better than the sunset; wake up at 5:30 AM for the cloud forest mist clearing over the city.
- ✨
Download WhatsApp—it's the primary way the staff communicates with you once you're in the dome.
5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi
💡The shower pressure is 'rain style' which means 'gentle drizzle'—don't expect a power wash.
💡You can hear your neighbors if they are loud on their deck; sound carries perfectly across the valley.
💡The 'kitchenette' is really just a coffee maker and a mini-fridge, not a place to cook meals.
💡The gate code system can be finicky; save the emergency number before you arrive.
💡It gets bright early. The curtains are good, but light leaks around the dome edges.
