It all began when Coach Manny, an experienced tennis player with a vision for creating unique experiences, found himself enchanted by the pristine beaches and vibrant culture of Nosara.

Inspired by the breathtaking surroundings and the warmth of the local community, Manny saw an opportunity to combine his love for tennis with the natural wonders of this tropical paradise.

Recognizing the potential to create something truly special, he embarked on a journey to establish a tennis retreat that would not only offer world-class coaching but also provide an immersive experience that celebrated the essence of Costa Rican living.

The story of Re•Set Tennis Retreats is one of vision, perseverance, and a deep-rooted love for the sport. Today, as we continue to welcome guests to our slice of paradise, we remain committed to providing an unparalleled experience that combines the thrill of tennis with the tranquility of Costa Rica’s natural wonders.

Coach Manny was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, and began playing tennis at the young age of 8.

His passion for the sport grew quickly, leading him to compete at the club and national levels. By the age of 10, he had become the #1 player in his category in Costa Rica, a ranking he maintained throughout his junior years.

Manny’s impressive performance earned him a spot on the national team, representing Costa Rica in numerous national, regional, and international tournaments, including the Orange Bowl, Eddie Herr, Prince Cup, Casa Blanca, and Coffee Bowl.

After his junior career, Manny pursued a professional career in finance, working as a financial planning analyst for 12 years across various industries. In 2018, he relocated to Vancouver, Canada, where he continued his finance role for four more years.

In 2021, Manny transitioned to full-time tennis coaching and began competing in various tournaments in Canada, where he resides part-time.

For the other six months of the year, he dedicates his time to running tennis retreats in the beautiful setting of Nosara, Costa Rica.

It’s this low-stress, natural and healthy environment that makes this such a remarkable and relaxing place to visit.

Of course, just visiting the Nicoya Peninsula won’t make you healthier or help you live to 100, but tourists often say they can feel the stress leave their bodies as soon as they arrive.

Maybe that’s why the Costa Rica Blue Zone is such a popular location for retreats centered on well-being, yoga, mindfulness and health.
