What guests say

Guests mention the retreat’s yoga and massage offerings, with positive comments about the practitioners and staff. One guest describes enjoying the cottages and ocean breeze, and another appreciated the shop’s coffee, healthy food and necessities. A cleanliness concern appears in a report of a towel that smelled strongly of body odor, so feedback on room-related details is not uniformly positive.
