Exceeded Expectations
I hosted 14 women here at my Goddess Retreat this past week and I was truly taken away with this retreat centre. This wasn't just a regular Villa. The energy of calmness, tranquility and refreshing the soul was felt in every small detail of the Villa. The rooms were ideal for sharing (2 queen beds in each in the lower level, 2 rooms with kings that could be split to singles). I've hosted dozens of retreats and this particular set up is hard to find. Minutes from the beach and about a 25 minute walk into town made the location ideal. The activities Amy and her team recommended were spot on. I would highly recommend the Temazcal Ceremony - it's only 90 minutes in length and you will feel well taken care of, even if it's your first time. I'd ask about local chefs to host your group depending on what you like. Hiking, massages, everything was so well executed (scout out the locations for massages depending on how many you have going on at the same time). Day trip or evening dinner in Sayulita was super fun. San Pancho is a little more for the young at heart... opposed to the hustle of Sayulita. I will def be back!
