The Retreat Center

Also Known as Casa De La Luz (The House of Light)

“This (trip) and this country has been somewhat of a saving grace for me. I came here tired, sick, and bogged down with material stress. But after just 24 hours of sun, surf, and the jungle, I could feel the haze lifting. After ten days in this paradise, I am leaving feeling restored, inspired, and enlightened. Thank you….I am truly grateful.” ST 1-13-2008

The expansive views of the rain forest and the ocean beyond will take your breath away. We guarantee it! You won’t even need binoculars to see a myriad of birds and wildlife from this site.
