The Adam McBride Show

This is my full interview with Hans Pfister who is the co-founder, CEO, and Marketing Director of the Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels and Lodges. 

Cayuga manages some of the most spectacular properties in Costa Rica and also has hotels in Nicaragua and Panama. The hotels are leaders in sustainability and are hyper-focused on customer service and hospitality. As you will hear in the show, I have never experienced better service at any hotel. They truly are remarkable.

As you will hear, this interview was done before the COVID-19 impact was felt in Costa Rica. But the lessons that Hans gives are timeless, so I think you will get a lot of value from the talk.

For sure, I will need to get Hans back on the podcast to share his COVID-19 stories. If my gut is correct, I feel like he will help to lead Costa Rica tourism back from the COVID-19 disaster..

Ryne O'Donnell shares his stories of natural living in Costa Rica and as an entrepreneur who built Sol-ti in 2014 which is now sold in more than 3,000+ locations throughout the USA.

Ryne splits his time between San Diego and Costa Rica, where his primary residence and second cause-driven venture is located, Permaculture Planet (Pp). This revolutionary mission-led company is dedicated to preserving the planet by planting exotic fruit trees through food forest implementations with native species reforestation. With 1% of Sol-ti sales donated to Pp, a passionate crew has been able to plant thousands of trees across dozens of acres. When Ryne finds a sliver of free time, you are sure to find him walking the permaculture farm, riding a bicycle along the beach, sailing in the ocean, or simply seeking joy through all that Mother Nature has to offer so he can continue to give only his best.
