ONDA Corporate Offsites
Get out of the conference room. Find your ONDA.
Bring your team to a private boutique hotel in Costa Rica or Panama for a turnkey destination offsite with the useful pieces already handled: rooms, meeting space, meals, ground transport, local programming, and an ONDA concierge who keeps the trip moving.
Built for lean teams that want the reset without the resort sprawl, the planning drag, or the invoice pileup.
Destination offsites in Costa Rica and Panama
ONDA plans and hosts international corporate offsites, company retreats, and team gatherings at ONDA-operated boutique hotels in Playa Grande, Costa Rica and Boquete, Panama. Teams use ONDA for private lodging, meeting space, shared meals, airport transfers, curated activities, and one planning lane from inquiry through arrival.
If you are comparing destination offsites in Central America, ONDA is built for companies that want the privacy of a hotel buyout, the texture of a real place, and a practical package that can stay lean.

Why teams choose ONDA for corporate offsites
ONDA is not just a room block. We self-operate the hotels and help shape the whole stay, so the trip feels designed instead of stitched together.
Turnkey
One planning lane for lodging, shared spaces, food, activities, and the on-the-ground details.
High value
Memorable Central America experiences at a price point built for teams that still care about budget.
Vertically integrated
We operate the hotels, restaurants, bars, workspaces, and guest experience instead of simply brokering vendors.
Real destinations
Choose a Costa Rica corporate offsite by the beach or a Panama corporate offsite in the mountains, both with international access and local texture.
Concierge led
Your ONDA point of contact handles the legwork so the team can arrive ready to connect, work, and enjoy.
Costa Rica and Panama corporate offsite locations
Both ONDA properties can become a private offsite home base. The right choice depends on your team size, travel route, and the kind of energy you want around the work.

What can be built into the program
The final package depends on your team and budget, but the ONDA offsite model brings the main moving parts into one operating plan.
Private boutique hotel
Take over the property and make the hotel feel like your team’s own base for the week.
Meeting spaces
Use plenary rooms, coworking areas, breakout rooms, patios, and common spaces for the actual work.
Curated activities
Add surf, hikes, coffee tours, rafting, catamaran sails, yoga, local food, and other team experiences.
Food and drinks
Build shared meals, catered moments, casual bar time, or custom menus around the daily rhythm.
Ground transport
Coordinate airport transfers and local movement so arrival day and activity days are not a scramble.
ONDA concierge
Work with one point of contact who understands the property, the destination, and the trip plan.
Designed for the work and the reset
The best offsites do not choose between productive and memorable. They change the pace enough for the team to think differently, then give people the moments that make the trip stick.
Plan the next chapter
Strategy sessions, workshops, retros, and focused work blocks with the team in one place.
Move together
Surf, hike, raft, stretch, sail, walk, or explore before the day turns into another meeting.
Eat like a team
Use shared meals and casual bar time as the simplest way to make people actually talk.
Leave room for the unplanned
The moments between the agenda are usually where the trip pays off.
Build the scope around your team
Some teams want the all-in experience. Some want lodging, workspace, and a few anchor moments. ONDA can shape the package around the level of support you need.
Base camp
A private ONDA stay with dedicated spaces and practical planning support.
- Whole hotel buyout
- Meeting and common spaces
- Basic planning coordination
Programmed offsite
Add the meals, transport, and signature activities that turn the stay into a true team retreat.
- Shared meals and group moments
- Ground transport coordination
- Curated activity or excursion
Fully handled
The high-touch version: more meals, more movement, deeper programming, and on-site support.
- Expanded meals and drinks
- Multiple activities or tours
- On-site concierge support
Teams come here for offsites they actually remember

A sample rhythm for the week
Every team is different, but a strong ONDA offsite usually alternates focused work, shared meals, local movement, and enough unscheduled time for the team to breathe.
Arrive and settle in
Airport transfers, welcome drinks, property orientation, and a casual first dinner.
Work block plus local reset
Morning strategy, lunch on site, then surf, coffee, hikes, yoga, or another shared experience.
Deepen the agenda
Breakouts, leadership sessions, team rituals, and a dinner or evening moment that feels specific to the destination.
Close and head home
Final breakfast, commitments, transfers, and a team that has more to remember than a slide deck.

Offsite planning questions
How many people can ONDA host?
Playa Grande has 19 rooms and can sleep up to 46 guests. Boquete has 54 rooms and can sleep up to 139 guests, with more space for larger programming.
Can you help with meals and activities?
Yes. ONDA can help build shared meals, activity blocks, local excursions, and practical scheduling around the goals of the offsite.
Do we need to book the whole hotel?
Full buyouts create the cleanest offsite experience, but the best structure depends on dates, team size, and destination. Send the rough details and we will point you toward the right fit.
Which destination is easier to reach?
Playa Grande is about 70 minutes from Guanacaste International Airport (LIR). Boquete is about 40 minutes from David (DAV), with frequent connections through Panama City.
Can the offsite include transport?
Ground transport can be included or coordinated depending on package scope, flight timing, group size, and the activities you choose.
