Esencia has its very own free form swimming pool so you can cool off from the Costa Rican sun, before getting back out and drying off on the sunbathing terrace surrounded by Costa Rica's superb flora and fauna.If sand is what you're after, then a short walk down to the local beach will present you with miles of golden white sands to walk on as well as the turquoise blue of the sea which can also provide excellent surfing opportunities.There is an on-site gym for those that want to exert some energy during their stay in the thatched club house, or if you prefer something a little calmer, how about a relaxing stretch during your own personal yoga session!Nearby there are plenty of small gift shops to find that perfect present for someone at home as well as plenty of bars and restaurants that offer a wide range of international and local cuisine to cater to a whole variety of different tastes.
