I had an outstanding first solo travel experience at Del Alma Surf and Yoga Retreat! I was nervous to travel alone but this was quickly eased as Catalina was very responsive to all of my questions prior to booking and before my arrival. The property is absolutely gorgeous and serene nestled in the jungle, and my villa was very clean and comfortable where I had some of the best sleep ever. Catalina and JC are phenomenal hosts who provide top-level service. All of the food is delicious, and is freshly prepared with a focus on clean eating. Del Alma’s holistic nutrition led to a great deal of energy, a leaner figure and rid my body of habitual bloating and brain fog issues. I enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions with Catalina as she is very experienced and knowledgeable. She helped me understand how to perform more challenging postures that I had been working on in my practice, facilitated connection of movement with my breath, and aided me in being more present and mindful. Catalina was also very kind to answer all of my questions related to wellness and fitness. JC is a very patient and skilled surf instructor who boosted my confidence when I was struggling with nerves and negative self-talk, and he was very enthusiastic about my progress. I caught several good waves thanks to his expertise and direction, which was such a memorable experience! Catalina and JC are beautiful souls who are very welcoming, and I was easily able to destress and decompress at the retreat.
