The property is gorgeous and the staff are above and beyond. I rated my experience as poor however because so many of the classes cost additional $ on top of the room rental. I've gone there for years and with only a few exceptions the classes are included with the stay. Very dissappointed as this wasn't clear until AFTER I had already made my reservation.

This resort is relaxing with friends or for a quiet solo trip. I recommend it to anyone looking for an escape for well being. All of the classes I attended were well lead. Yoga, weight lifting, feng shui, meditation and the guide lead hike were wonderful. Wish they offered a cooking class! The experience was peaceful.

I took my first solo trip for my birthday here and had an AMAZING time. I met so many different people from all walks of life and learned so much through the classes. I did the spa on my actual birthday and it was the best spa experience I've ever had. I wanted to open myself up to trying new things and this was definitely the place to do that. Staff was kind and the vibes were great. 10/10 would recommend to kick off your new year of life!
