Trip to Mi Amor in Costa Rica in September 2009
 

 

Condensed Trip Report Mi Amor Resort, Costa Rica

 

Mi Amor Resort is listed as a nudist resort on one website and a swinger’s resort on the Spanish website.  Patti and I just returned from there and are planning on going back in 2010.  There are 20 rooms total—12 are listed as poolside and 8 are listed as garden side.  The resort is not plush, but the rooms are air conditioned and very, very clean.  The whole resort is compact and our room was 12 paces from poolside.  The garden rooms are at most 100 feet away from the pool.  The pool is a medium sized figure eight shape with a bridge over the center of the eight.  The large hot tub adjoins one end of the pool with a large waterfall on the other end.  Ten couples or more are considered a takeover so you could control admission to the interior of the resort for the duration of the group stay.  Cindy, the owner, (an American) opened the resort to a select group of locals for our Saturday night party.  The locals were fun and contributed to the enjoyment of the party for all.

 

The rooms are air-conditioned and have ceiling fans.  The sink in the bathroom only has a cold-water tap.  Warm water for the shower is provided by the electric on-demand showerhead.  The room and bathroom were very, very clean.

 

The restaurant is slightly separated from the walled resort and is open to and frequented by the local population.  You must be covered to dine in the restaurant so as not to offend the locals.  The food at the restaurant is very tasty and each plate is freshly cooked after it is ordered.  Breakfast was included in our group package.  Menus were provided for placing any food order.  Lunch could be ordered and served around the pool or in your room as desired.

 

There are several local attractions within reasonable driving time.  We hiked to a mountain waterfall and skinny-dipped in two separate pools along the way.  We toured a beautiful mountainside plantation home.  We visited a traditional Costa Rican farm and learned about raising macadamia nuts.  We visited a famous local Crocodile show.  Shopping was fun in a local department store in Guahiles and in shops in Limon.

 

The grounds around the resort are lush with vegetation and flowers.  You cannot see from one side of the resort to the other because of the lush, dense foliage. There is a small river running beside the resort behind a bank of rooms and a larger river that adjoins the far back of the property.

 

If you do not demand the Marriott sort of accommodations and want to experience a different sort of nude or swinger resort, then this is the place.  The websites are www.miamorresort.com in English and www.clubmiamor.com in Spanish.
