Best retreat ever!!
10.0The best. Love the atmosphere, the staff, the facilities, the food, the activities!! Everything is perfect.
Serene, relaxing and feeling pampered
10.0The location is beautiful with well maintained grounds. Our room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Several referred to us being at home. The food was healthy, delicious and presentation was great. The meals included package seemed reasonable for what we received. You are in a secluded location on a mountain so getting to a tourist location takes time. We would definitely like to return. Yoga classes twice a day, hiking trails (we only tried one of ten) other options like water exercise, tapping, sound bath and breathing/meditation available.
Not an Aryurveda retreat
6.0We paid for an Ayurveda package which required a minim stay of 7 days. In reality there is no Ayurveda, just 1 yoga session, 1 massage per day and 30 minutes meditation. There is no medical supervision, no special diet aside from the standard vegetarian food serves to all the guests. The hotel built a new structure at the bottom of a steep hill. They arrange a shuttle service on the hour, which means that movement within the complex is limited whilst waiting for the van/car. In the positive side, the setting is beautiful, the staff very nice and helpful and the Ayurveda practitioner very nice and gives a very good massage. Overall a pleasant experience but we would have not came had we known about the package.
A healthy reset for mind and body
10.0Outstandingly beautiful with mountain and ocean views everywhere. Kind and responsive staff, good food, great pools and places to hang out.
Beautiful Property and Spa with Some Service Issues
8.0Beautiful, well designed property nestled in a mountain side overlooking the Pacific. Tropical setting with well manicured, colorful landscaping. The spa was first class! The food service in the main restaurant was disappointing. The servers worked hard to keep up but seemed chronically under staffed and stressed. Wine service was extremely slow and expensive with one wine server for as many as 35 guests. Wine was way over priced at 4 to 5 times retail. Shuttles to the rooms and facilities at the bottom of the hill only ran hourly which was extremely inconvenient for those who could not handle the very steep climb. A bit more emphasis on service is in order given the prices.
Fabulous retreat with amazing sunsets
10.0The people were lovely and experienced at what they do. The setting was beautiful. The amenities were great. We really loved the morning yoga, workouts and hikes. The food was delicious and sometimes too much! Healthy, but quite a bit. I would have like the option of smaller portions. Maybe I could have, but I didn’t ask 🙃
