July 17, 2023 at 12:00 amUnfortunately, I see something different under the name retreat. There was only one yoga class in the morning that had nothing to do with the stay. I could have just booked a normal hotel and gone to a yoga studio. It wasn’t a retreat for me, sadly. The accommodation was nice and clean, and the hotel staff was incredibly kind. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and always there for you. Overall, it was a pleasant time.

May 16, 2023 at 12:00 amEverything was great except for the slightly awkward location if you didn’t have a scooter – besides that, it was all great! I have to give a special shout out to Jace and Elena, they are amazing teachers who truly helped me connect with myself through meditation and physical practice. Plus, they taught me some really cool tips and tricks 🙂

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amI was disappointed with the restaurant at the hotel. There weren’t many tables, so I ended up having my meals alone. What made it worse was that the other guests had access to room service, but I didn’t. The food itself was also disappointing because there wasn’t as much choice as I had expected.
Unfortunately, my holiday was ruined by a mistake made by the hotel. After being there for just two days, they asked me for an extra 13,000 THB. This was because they had messed up my booking, despite me having booked it 9 months in advance. They told me that if I didn’t pay up, I would have to either leave after 5 days or pay the daily rate. It wasn’t easy for me to leave because all the other hotels were fully booked, and it would have required taking a ferry to Koh Samui. So, I had no choice but to pay the extra money, even though it was more than what I had planned to spend on my holiday.
On a positive note, the yoga instructors at the hotel were amazing. I learned so much about the history of yoga and different styles, and they tailored the classes to my level of experience. The meditation and mindfulness sessions were also incredibly valuable and enjoyable. After my stay, I definitely felt relaxed and refreshed.

July 5, 2019 at 12:00 amI wish I had signed up for the 8-day retreat instead of the 5-day one. I thought I’d only experience physical transformation, but I ended up leaving with amazing well-being both physically and spiritually.
The resort is in a peaceful area on the island and has incredible facilities. The name of the place says it all – the sunset view is absolutely breathtaking, and you can enjoy it from various spots like the yoga shalas, the swimming pool, and the restaurant. The room was spacious and had a lovely balcony. Since it was the low season in July, the resort was quiet and perfect for a retreat.
Sewie, the Duty Manager of the resort, took care of everything from the moment I arrived to when I left.
Every staff member I came across at the resort was friendly and polite. The chef constantly checked in on me to make sure I was happy with the delicious and healthy food.
Luckily, I was the only one at the retreat, so Elena, Jace, and David, who led the yoga and meditation sessions, tailored everything specifically for me. They were all fantastic facilitators who provided great guidance for both my physical movements and spiritual well-being. This retreat and the resort itself are definitely must-tries if you’re looking to treat yourself to a rewarding and rejuvenating experience.
