Rory and his family live on the property and welcomed us and treated us like part of the family. All the people who help make this hotel possible were wonderful and a joy to share our time with. The breakfast in the morning were absolutely perfect, and after our delicious breakfast we walked right out the back and onto the beach for a peaceful walk. We will definitely be coming back to work with the plant medicines in the near future. We would absolutely recommend staying at Vikara if you are in the Olon area. Read less

We originally booked a different hotel and left it to come here while in Olon due to problems. The owner Roy was an amazing person and so inviting. The staff here were so nice and tried their best to help us with any needs.The Hotel is extremely clean, the food was fantastic but no bars or TV's as its more a sanctuary to unwind and remove the issues of the world. Short walk to all restaurants and bars, the bed was comfortable and outside of a rooster in the morning, very quite. Even the rooster was not enough to keep us up. Thank you Roy for taking us in as we needed a room. Your hotel is amazing and though the unplug lifestyle is not our normal approach, I loved my stay.1 star removed due to preference of bar and TVs but if you wish to unwind, this is the best of Olon in my opinion.

It was an amazing experience and I hope to be able to come back soon.Accommodation is in comfortable, stylish rooms from which you step directly to the lush tropical garden. From this garden you get directly to the Olon beach. Ocean view from the yoga shala in the main building brings the experience of a yoga class to a higher level.All the ceremonies that I experienced in Vikara were totaly new to me. 2 times Ayahuska, 2 times Temazcal and 1 San Pedro.I felt very safe and comfortable supported by professional guides. The shamans were giving 100% support and explained everything I needed.And How was the experience ? Strong, surprising, transformational, mind opening and absolutely worth it.Since my return from Vikara I often remember what the shaman told us: " Once you drink Ayahuska it becomes part of you and you can ask her for help a support." The opening that happens in the ceremony can continue if you give it time and attention. Read less

The rooms have high bamboo ceilings and nice bathrooms with a great walk in shower, and the property itself is spacious, well kept and secluded on a quiet street with the beach literally in your backyard. The chef is also excellent. Read less

Read moreOur yoga and surf retreat at Vikara was an indescribable experience! The community, the stunning location just steps from the ocean, the luxury hotel space, the yoga, the ocean, the delicious home-cooked meals, the owner's sweet dogs...we could go on!We happened to be there in between scheduled retreats, and the staff allowed us to cater our four days there to meet our needs, including choosing the style of yoga we felt like practicing on a day to day basis. The surf instructor also made my first surfing experience much smoother than I expected! This beach is NOT to be missed.My partner and I had also just lost a loved one back home, and with our permission, the staff led us in a ceremony on the beach at sunset to honour this soul's life and passing. As we couldn't be home for the memorial, this ceremony gave us the much needed opportunity to mourn in community. Our experience was held with care, and it was incredibly healing for us.We would recommend Vikara to anyone in a heartbeat! Read less
