Not a yoga retreat place
This place is under new ownership, and runs recovery programs for addiction. While there is nothing wrong with this, it just means this is not the yoga retreat center that is advertised and what I expected. There is a large male presence at the center, which can feel unsettling at times. There is no alcohol allowed on premises (too bad if you are on vacation and want to to relax with a glass of wine or cocktail at the end of the day). The food is atrocious. Hot dogs, burgers and deli meat sandwiches. Seriously?? Again, not the wholesome food you would expect at a yoga retreat, and not worth the $80 they are charging per day for meals. Total rip off. Not sure what the deal is with a new "chef" because anyone could cook better meals. The same salads every day too. So, don't expect anything gourmet food-wise. In fact, save your money and go eat elsewhere. The "chefs" also get offended if you ask for anything and one time they started cleaning up dinner at 6:15 even though it's supposed to run until 6:30.
There is also no daily housekeeping. Which is fine. But worth it to know, so you don't have high expectations. The bathroom sink kept making a weird gurgling sound so I had to sleep with ear plugs.
The staff at the front desk is very nice though.
My experience felt like the whole center caters to the recovery programs. It's fine to run a recovery center, but it's just not compatible with a yoga retreat - where people expect to relax, unwind, have good wholesome food and maybe a nice glass of wine at sunset. Having both in the same location doesn't work. Disappointing and not worth the money. I will not be returning
