This is a MOUNTAIN resort. Meaning there are very steep hills and to stay here you need to be very fit to be able to climb those hills to spa, restaurant, pool. Felt very bad for older people who had difficulties doing that. There’s no room service. Rooms are located on steep hills. Breakfast starts at 8:30! This is the latest breakfast we’ve ever had to have - we wake up at 5 and like to start our day early. Spa is nice. Steam room is very cold, can’t even get a steam higher. There was power outage one day for a couples of house and you’d think that a 5 star hotel would have a generator, but had to take a cold shower… Internet was out during those few hours and if you still need to do some work - you can’t.

We were really excited about this stay having read all of the reviews but ended up disappointed. We received a room upgrade which we were grateful for but the room was very tired, particularly the bathroom area which had a handful of areas of damage. The room was also dirty, which we pointed out with photos to staff and they kind of asked us why we had looked for dirt (which we found when we moved a unit to plug a charger in) and there were multiple hairs in the room. They did do a “detail clean” but we keep our own house cleaner. Additionally we were woken by grounds keepers making loud banging noises every morning at 6am. Additionally they pride themselves on their food which we found to be average and $57 per person for dinner which we thought was expensive for the level of the food. On the positive side the communal areas were very nice and we had excellent massages.

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!

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.

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.

Gorgeous stay at the Retreat! We ate well and relaxed - the place is done very, very well, with beautiful views and very comfortable rooms. The only complaint I have is that the mattresses could have been better (which is often the case in hotels). We didn’t get up to much on our short stay besides lounging by the pools and in the spa and working out in the perfectly well equipped gym, but we did do one yoga class which was lovely - the studio is beautiful. The wildlife on the property is fantastic - incredible flowers and landscaping and peacocks, other exotic birds, butterflies, iguana, fish. The property is new and the spaces are very well appointed and extremely comfortable. It was only a 1.5 hour drive from San Jose during rush hour and only took us 30 mins to get to the airport to leave (not during rush hour).

The retreat gave stellar service. From the moment I stepped to the front desk I was greeted with a fresh juice and cool cloth. I received a tour of the beautiful property and then escorted to my room. The food delicious, the yoga class was amazing and all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Grissela at the front desk packed a beach bag for me for excursions, the 2 chefs I seen the most were very kind and made vegan meals, Thank you Chef Sergio and his apprentice. Big thank you to Gustavo I believe is his name he gave a wonderful tour of the property and was very helpful throughout my stay. The property is safe the views are breathtaking. Wish I spent more time just at the hotel. It is extremely tranquil and relaxing.

The Retreat is situated in an area voted to enjoy the best climate in the world! That is debatable but, what is not debatable is the wonder that is the Retreat. We spent five days there, probably not long enough but managed to totally unwind and relax. The rooms and bed are most comfortable and the atmosphere very zen. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The food is healthy and delicious but don’t expect burgers and chips here! If you are thinking about coming to the Retreat, don’t hesitate a minute longer.
