I spent the weekend with girlfriends at this destination spa over the weekend. This place was a wonderful getaway that I look forward to visiting again one day soon. The place was not very hard to find and is set off in a secluded area well protected from outside intrusions. Upon arrival check in was quick and well organized. We were oriented with all the activities, dining options and everything else we may have needed while there. The staff is superb. They treated us like royalty and did their very best to meet any request we may have had. The activities are varied and taught by individuals who care about their craft. We took yoga, meditation, breathwork and cooking classes. We also did the challenge course which was totally exhilarating!!! If you are not afraid of heights you should definitely give it a go. We stayed on resort for all our meals since it was included in the total Travaasa package. The food is wonderful and you are told that almost everything they cook with is locally grown. Ben is the chef we took a class with and aside from being drop dead handsome...his dinners were a wonderful way to end the night. Also, they have a variety of options for all types. I am vegetarian and had plenty of options to choose from for each meal while my girlfriends claimed to have eaten some of the best steak and chicken they ever had. We each had our own rooms and they had everything a person would need. Flat screen tvs, plush queen size beds, privacy options, hygiene products, plenty of towels, ac/heat operation, great in room coffee (which is hard to find these days), daily newspapers, feminine products, etc. The rooms were very clean and housekeeping checked in daily. Finally, the spa. I chose two treatments for the weekend to include the ancient purification massage and the chakra healing energy treatment. These were great and I would definitely recommend them to others. There are so many to choose from and you can't go wrong...as it is what they do. There is a beautful pool, dry sauna, jacuzzi and full service locker room. Every staff person I met seemed truly pleased to work there and their actions toward guests reflected that. Many thanks to Nick, Edward, Frankie, Ben, James, Josh, the young man who made me that newly created spicy martini and everyone else for a trip to remember.
