I cannot say enough about this retreat center. I hosted a yoga retreat at Xinalani in June 2024. I was nervous with this being my first international retreat. The staff communication was impeccable while setting up and planning the retreat. They are very clear with communication concerning your transport from the airport, Seasonal critters, the amenities, and the stairs. The retreat center is set up to respect the environment. It allows you to become one with nature. I stayed in one of the open air rooms and did not have any problems with any critters other than a few mosquitoes and little lizards/geckos. The cicadas and the frogs were a beautiful backdrop to fall asleep to in the evenings. The retreat center was very thoughtful to provide earplugs for those who desired a more quiet experience. The food was extraordinary. I did not know you could create so many amazing dishes And flavors using some of the local foods and providing one of the most amazing menus I have ever eaten. Please make a cookbook! I would absolutely volunteer my services to get my hands on some of those recipes. The staff was beyond amazing. They were so thoughtful and accommodating. When they say welcome home, they mean it!! Most of the staff became friends over our stay. We look forward to coming back next year and enjoying some time to revisit our new friends. Most of the staff remembered you by name and would greet you every morning With the warmest of smiles. Kimmy, the activities Director was one of the highlights of our trip. He was so knowledgeable about local plants and animals on land and in the sea. I was concerned that being in a remote location the guests would be bored during the day, Between yoga sessions. Every day there was an amazing option to explore the local sites. We tried the dolphin tour, kayaking, and snorkeling, hiking to the waterfalls, the Temescal, every experience was so special, and Kimmy was an integral part of that. The pricing was very affordable for what you get. You can customize your experience to fit with a budget or customize your stay with many options for excursions. We spent a few days around the pool and just took it easy. That was incredible as well. The grounds are well taken care of and the beach was well maintained. The staff at the bar was so fun. I brought my teenage son with me on this trip and he enjoyed talking with them and learning how to speak Spanish. We even took a salsa class one evening. We had so much fun! Thank you for the amazing experience. We will continue to come back as regulars.❤️
