Exceeded Expectations
Ratna Ling Retreat Center exceeded my expectations by far! This was my first yoga retreat and my first time at Ratna Ling. So, I had no idea what to expect. I was worried that the accommodations would be too rustic or the food would not be to my liking. However, I had no reason to be anxious. The cottages were very nice! The rooms were spacious, clean, with good amenities, and beautiful, relaxing views. The food was delicious and accommodated a gluten free diet if needed! I am not a vegetarian, but after this weekend, I feel like I could be. The salad bars were full of yummy options. The hot entrees varied from Thai curries, to Mediterranean themed options to warming soups. Their breakfasts were amazing: a yogurt bar, an oatmeal bar, eggs, mushrooms, avocados, breads, and fruit. The dessert options were so good too. I can't write enough good things about the food. We were lucky that the weather was perfect. We got to enjoy a nice guided hike to Stump beach that was an added pleasant surprise to our experience at Ratna Ling. Finally, the staff were very helpful and friendly. I am so happy that I was able to spend the weekend at Ratna Ling with my friends doing yoga. It was just the kind of getaway that we all needed.
