Truly Amazing Experience
The location and accommodations were fantastic and true to the pictures online. One of the many gems for us in this journey was the amazing food. Both of us are meat lovers, but we voluntarily tried 5 days of incredible vegetarian (mostly vegan) food and didn't once miss having meat. We didn't have any dietary restrictions or strong preferences before arriving, but did receive a pretty comprehensive food preference survey before our trip to make sure any input we might have had was taken into account in advance ...just one of many examples how Marina and Elliot really try to make this the perfect experience tailored to each couple. The incredibly delicious and nutritious food further added to the refreshed and renewed feeling that we left Tulum with. We also loved that this was an individual program for us as a couple and not a group experience. We were looking for an adventure of something new to try together as a couple celebrating a life milestone and this did not disappoint. The underwater photo shoot was really cool and Marina has a great calm and gentle approach to help make it a comfortable and fun adventure.
If I had to pick a number one thing about this trip that made it especially great, it would hands down be the facilitators (Marina and Elliot). They were great to engage with in both the unrushed approach to the facilitated exercises as well as casual conversation (over delicious food) between planned activities.
My final comment in hindsight post-experience was that this trip was a great value for us in terms of what we paid and received. We cared far more about finding a great retreat that we would enjoy rather than any sort of bargain hunting, but after experiencing this level of thoughtful attention, spacious accommodations, amazing food and tailored itinerary, we feel this was not only a great experience but also a great value.
