SICOMONO

What SICOMONO does

Sí Como No Resort & Wildlife Refuge is a privately-held sustainable boutique resort and wildlife refuge located in Manuel Antonio on Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast, founded in 1993 by Jim Damalas. The property operates 54 guest rooms across five categories (Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe Plus, and Honeymoon Suite), each with private balconies and ocean or forest views, plus Casa Anjali, a 7-bedroom, 683 m² private ocean-view villa offered through the Sandglass Collection. The architectural concept, designed by Jaime Rouillon (Grand Prize, III Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism 1996), occupies only 20% of the property, with the remaining 80% preserved as a biological corridor protecting 10 acres of native biodiversity inhabited by howler monkeys, sloths, Scarlet Macaws, and Fiery-billed Aracari.

The resort operates three dining venues (Claro Que Si fine-dining fusion restaurant, Rico Tico Jungle Grill casual Tico cuisine, and Mogotes Poolside Boca Bar), the Cala Spa with all-natural locally-sourced products, yoga and meditation programs, a private THX movie theater, and curated outdoor activities including national park tours, mangrove excursions, and the Santa Juana Rural Mountain Adventure. The company holds Costa Rica Tourism Board's Certificate for Sustainable Tourism (CST), is a member of the National Plan for Sustainable and Healthy Costa Rican Gastronomy, and is featured in the ASTA Worldwide Destinations 2026/2027 collection.

Revenue is generated through nightly room stays, F&B across the three outlets, spa and wellness services, vacation and honeymoon packages priced $200-$600 per person/couple, and private villa rentals at Casa Anjali. Distribution is hybrid: direct via SimpleBooking-powered website with English/Spanish availability, toll-free North American numbers, WhatsApp, and on-site reservations, supplemented by third-party platforms and travel-advisor networks. Target segments are leisure travelers split across families (kids-under-12-free promotions, family pool), couples and honeymooners (Jacuzzi suites, private dinners), nature and eco-tourists (wildlife refuge, guided tours), and luxury groups (Casa Anjali).

• Lapa Rios Lodge: A 16-bungalow eco-lodge on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula operating under a similar sustainability-first model with on-site private reserve, nature guides, and high-end nature-immersive programming. Direct comparable in scale, business model, and eco-luxury positioning.
• Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa: Costa Rican luxury resort near Arenal Volcano combining natural hot springs, full-service spa, multiple F&B venues, and nature-based activities. Comparable in offering mix (lodging + spa + wellness + adventure) and guest segment, though more thermal-focused.

• Nayara Resorts (Arenal): Luxury Costa Rican resort group (Nayara Gardens, Nayara Springs, Nayara Tented Camp) targeting the same eco-luxury traveler with private reserves, hot springs, wildlife immersion, and premium pricing. Closest direct competitor for the high-end nature-immersive guest.

Regional players

• Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo: Large luxury international flag resort in Costa Rica competing for the same high-end nature-immersive traveler but with substantially greater scale, brand recognition, and corporate infrastructure. Sets the upper-bound pricing benchmark for the category.
• Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo: Hyatt-affiliated lifestyle luxury resort in Costa Rica's Guanacaste region combining nature programming, multiple F&B outlets, and spa. Competes in the same guest segment with the backing of a global distribution platform.
