The Retreat is truly Heaven on Earth from the location to the staff to the food and spa. If you need to refresh and recenter yourself, this is the only place to go. Days filled with yoga, hiking, meditation, and relaxation await. We will make this an annual trip!

10/10 Exceptional

This was the easiest vacation I've ever been on as far as the hotel having the most popular tours available and creating a personalized daily schedule. Hotel staff do take you on each tour so you become comfortable with every one you interact with. Meals were my biggest worry going in but they were all well seasoned with good portion sizes and 3 courses with every dinner-- we had fish most nights and beef once during our stay. If we visit again, we would choose a more inclusive package as it was very easy to spend $1000/day between tours, treatments, and meals for 2.

I want to go back!
Amazing setting, spa (Laura was especially accommodating), restaurant (Jonathan was great) and incredible food. The front office, the driver from the airport were all very kind and attentive. Sofia, the yoga instructor was excellent. I can hardly wait to go back.

The Retreat is a short drive from the San Jose Airport. The property feels serene and welcoming. The rooms off the yoga studio are definitely for morning people. The spa is world class. The views and sunsets spectacular.
