Fitness & Wellness

The retreat hosts approximately 95 guests. I separate the guests into two workout classes (Monday-Friday) in the Jungle Studio. There are 6 studios on property! Nutrition Chat will be hosted in the Dining Hall directly after breakfast.

 The Beach Club

The space where we all comes together for fun, meals, and to connect. The open air bar & dining hall are beachfront surrounded by comfortable seating. Just outside is the pool, sunshine, ocean views, & lounge chairs.

 The Food & Beverages

The Chef prepares three buffet meals per day. The Food here is special! They take great pride in their food. You'll be served from a menu that's designed for individuals who care about health & fitness. The food is both healthy & delicious and includes eggs, fish, seafood & chicken, but no red meat or pork. They offer vegan and gluten-free options at every meal. All meals are served buffet-style & meal time is announced with a conch-shell horn! All meals are included!
They have a Full Bar (Mel’s note)!

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE RETREAT

1. Your $500 deposit is non-refundable. However, Your trip is TRANSFERABLE! If you have made additional payments and then find out you cannot attend, I will reach out to the waitlist. If I can transfer your reservation, you will be refunded EXCEPT for the $500 deposit. Please note, NO transfers will be made 30 days prior to the retreat.

2. This is an all-inclusive retreat. Your rate is for a 6-night stay. Includes: your room (or bed), transportation to and from the airport, boat ride to and from the retreat, 3 daily meals, morning coffee bar, nightly tea bar, daily fitness class, daily nutritional chat, daily yoga class, and access to the entire property (snorkeling, SUP, & kayaks available).

3. In rooms with a king bed, the rate is for the entire room. In shared rooms, the rate is for a bed. An extra person can stay in any room with a king bed. There is a one-time fee of $800. This fee covers the additional guest’s 3 daily meals, transportation to and from the airport, & boat ride to and from the retreat.

4. You must fly into PVR airport! The Retreat is only accessible by boat. (There is no road access). It is about a 30-minute boat ride from Puerto Vallarta Marina. For safety reasons, the resort does not operate boat transfers in the dark. For that reason, please fly into Puerto Vallarta before 4:00 pm on arrival day and fly out after 11:00 am on departure day.

5. The retreat is much like being on a remote island. (It is actually on the main land of the Bay of Banderas, just a secluded beachfront only accessible by boat). Although remote, the entire property has wifi!

6. There are a Gazillion Stairs. The Retreat is built on a steep hill. There's an elevation of 215 ft from the beach to the highest point on the property (the Jungle Studio). At a slow-and-steady pace, it is 10 minutes walk up to Jungle Studio where I host the daily workout. It is a great glute workout! The sister-property is a 4-minute walk past Charlie’s Bar along the beach.

7. The food is SPECIAL. They take great pride in their food. You'll be served from a menu that's designed for individuals who care about health & fitness. The food is both healthy & delicious and includes eggs, fish, seafood & chicken, but no red meat or pork. They offer vegan and gluten-free options at every meal. All meals are served buffet-style & meal time is announced with a conch-shell horn! All meals are included!

8. This is a stay in nature. While their rooms are designed to be very comfortable, a stay at the retreat is much like living outdoors for a week. The resort is very dark at night so please bring a flash light or you can use your cell phone flash light. Rooms without AC will have a door with a lock but only three walls—the terrace is open to its jungle surroundings — open air palapas. 17 of the 33 rooms are enclosed with Air Conditioning. Every night while we are at dinner, the staff turn-down all the rooms. Floor to ceiling bamboo curtains are drawn, beds are turned down, & white gauzy netting is wrapped around the bed. It looks magical!

9. The Weather is…. HOT! (see temperature charts here)! The Ocean will be in the 80s during our July stay. The pool & ocean were daily staples for our 2021 & 2022 retreats!

10. There will be plenty of activities! In addition to daily fitness & nutrition classes, the resort offer a wide range of services: Spa (massages, body scrubs, facials, manicure & pedicure), Temazcul (ancient sweat lodge), Ice Bath Therapy, Aerial Yoga, Bonfires, Karaoke, a Salsa Dance Class, Scuba Diving, the list goes on and on.

During Free Time you can:
1. Enjoy the Property. We have access to everything! All 6 yoga studios, the bar, the dining hall, the spa, the pool, & the beach. There are complimentary Kayaks, Stand Up Paddle Boards, & Snorkel Gear available at the beach! We did a full resort buyout - so only our group will be on property!
2. Quimixto, a small town, is a short walk from the resort. Visit Charlies Bar on the Beach.
3. The Resort will provide boat transportation to downtown Puerto Vallarta (the shopping district) or to Boca. The Botanical Gardens in Boca were a hit last year!
4. Join an optional excursion/activity: Snorkeling, Temazcal (Sweat Lodge), Ice Bath Therapy, & Aerial Yoga.

Side Note: It is perfectly acceptable to be a Bougie Pool B*tch & do NO activities during free time. 🤣 #IYKYK
