What is the Blissful Bite Retreat?

Join us for seven days to overcome emotional eating, so you can enjoy food without feeling guilty, even if you have been struggling with yo-yo dieting your whole life.

This event is for those who want to let go the habit of emotional eating, share their own experience and learn from other's experiences. You will build a tool kit to use at home and implement new, permanent routines.

Lorena, nutritionist and dietitian from Costa Rica will be your host for this 7-day behavior reset. You will have delicious nurturing meals, improve your self-awareness around food, improve self-regulation and spend time in nature while we take care of you.

The event fee covers daily activities and training in a boutique beachfront hotel room, 2 meals a day, workshops and healing circles.

Ocean Front Experience

Ocean Front

Fenix Hotel

Our guests at the Fenix Hotel enjoy stepping out of their rooms onto the white sand beach.

The property includes a small pool, hammocks and beach beds for everyone, ocean front yoga shala and a quiet unpopulated beach front.

It is a WOW.

We are a 15-minute ocean stroll to the city center with 20+ restaurants. Close enough but far enough to get away from it all.

You may also upgrade to a private room with a King bed for $500.

All bedrooms have A/C.
