I’m Logan, a Virginia native who followed a love for food, travel, and the outdoors all the way to Costa Rica. I’m a culinary school graduate and spent seven years owning and operating a food truck in Jacksonville, Florida before making the move here. These days, you’ll usually find me surfing, fishing, or spending as much time in nature as possible—fully embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle. I’m truly excited to share this beautiful property with guests from all over the world. My goal is to create an inviting, relaxed space that feels like a home away from home, where you can fully unwind and enjoy your stay. I’m always happy to help with local recommendations, insider tips, and anything you need to make your visit unforgettable. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with yourself, immerse in nature, or spend quality time with friends and family, this property is the perfect place to do so. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience the very best of this incredible area.

At Hotel Balu, we offer seven independent apartments secluded within a gorgeous tropical garden, inside the guarded and gated community of Tierra Pacifica. All of our accommodations are fully equipped and feature a private bathroom, kitchen and patio with gorgeous views of the garden, yoga shala, and/or pool. Our pool was inspired by the natural hot springs of Costa Rica and is truly a work of art. It features mesmerizing turquoise waters, a relaxing waterfall massage, secret caves with real Kundalini crystals, a relaxing patio with a panoramic view of the property, and a secondary heated pool, all connected by an incredible water slide! Next to this oasis is our ice bath, yoga shala, and dining space for 32 people. You will also have full access to Tierra Pacifica's amenity center, Club Arbol. It features a beautiful three-tier infinity pool and outdoor space centered around large majestic trees and colorful flora. The club also offers a full-size tennis and pickleball court, an indoor gym, an indoor studio, office space with high-speed internet, and private bathrooms with hot showers.

We are only one mile from the beautiful black sand beach of Playa Junquillal, which is just a short walk or an even shorter bike ride away. The area is private and peaceful while still being very close to many local amenities, such as various grocery stores, several amazing restaurants, and the beaches of Playa Negra, Blanca, and Playa Avellanas. Getting here is easy as we are located only one hour away from the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia, with paved roads the entire way.
