Amazing all-inclusive paradise
We had an amazing stay. Everything was perfect. Beautiful room. Beautiful amenities. Incredible food, including vegan and non-vegan. Great cocktails and mocktails, all included in the price of the stay. We can't wait to come back and will probably bring our kids next time. Special mention to Reyes at Charlie's Vegan Taco Truck and Danny at the beach bar.

My new favorite resort
This hotel is everything I dreamed a plant-based all-inclusive could be! The staff was so kind and attentive, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, our spa treatment was magical and walking though the property was like being on a movie set, everything was pristine. Definitely worth the upgrade to the adults-only room. Can't wait to go back
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very Nice location, but not a great value
This was my second time here, and the same issues exist. For starters, there are A LOT of children and families. Which is fine, I suppose, but not what you would expect at a place that is a plant-based wellness resort. For me, it ruins the vibe. Second, the price value is not there, in my opinion. The restaurants are good, but not exceptional, and it's hard to justify the cost for restaurants I likely would visit if they were in my hometown. The staff is lovely, and the setting is beautiful. The resort is maintained and clean.

One of the most thoughtfully designed, built and intriguing resorts. Beautiful, stunning and quiet. The food is delicious, and even though we are not vegan do not hesitate to try everything on the menu! The nomadic guides go out of their way to make you feel like you never left home.

8/10 Very good

A beautiful resort. Staff is very friendly but the check in was a bit awkward and they charge you an unecpected $200 deposit. Great spiritual, zen sort of vibe. Very beautiful beach and lounge areas, however be sure to research before you go to make sure you are not going during the off season or rainy season. They cut back on their dining and ceremony options which was disappointing. Also keep in mind that this is not an adult only resort as it should be.
