Laid back, chill place to spend a week?

I’m looking to go on vacation between end of April and end of May.

I want a vacation that has:

- beach

- nature

- chill and laid back

- not too much planning. Mainly wake up and do whatever I feel like.

- not crowded

- not interested in night life, clubbing, or loud, crammed places

- more about wellness and reconnecting with self

- good food especially if healthy

I’ve been thinking of going to Nosara, Costa Rica. In theory, it would check off most of my wants, but I read that Nosara is

- very gentrified

- very Americanized

- very expensive (although is it? So, prices are in USD and I’m from Canada so with conversion rate, it’s going to be expensive, but like if a meal is $8 more than most places it’s not the end of the world for a once in a lifetime vacation. Like sure it’s maybe 30% more expensive in this hypothetical example, but overall it’s a small cost of the trip).

- lots of people

- not very fun. Just a beach with surfing (which I don’t do but could try) and wellness (which tbh sounds appealing to me).

Anyways, after reading a lot of recent posts on how people were quite disappointed in Nosara, I’ve now changed my opinion and don’t really want to go.

Maybe I should ask: is Nosara over hyped? Or are just some people reminiscing of a past that doesn’t exist but Nosara is otherwise still a great place?

Initially, I thought Nosara was perfect for me. I do yoga, I want stillness, smoothy bars and healthy food sound amazing. Just quiet in nature by the beach.

Are there any other places you’d recommend that would fit my list?
