I really can't recommend staying here enough - whether you go for a week to get in shape or just for a few days to enjoy the setting. Like other people have said the people who run it are incredibly generous and warm and this along with the wonderful food and beautiful setting - make it a very special place.... more

...And I have travelled a lot. The essence of the Island Experience is, as one reviewer ("Kate") before me, put it: it is in the commitment of the people who run it. Truly I can say that we had never been treated with such kindness, welcomed with such warmth and cared for with such feeling as we had been by... more

Thank you for your beautiful words! We are so glad that you and your mom enjoyed your stay with us. We loved to host you for a week, you both were so much fun and easy going. Definitely, after watching you swimming for miles, we will seriously consider adding long distance swimming as one of our fitness activities! Keep it...

The essence of a week spent at "The Island Experience" is in the commitment of the people. A max of 10 or so clients stay for one week of heavy-duty hiking, kayaking, yoga, great food, and good company. There are at least as many people working to ensure everyone has a special time. It is important for people to realize... more

But I will try. This was absolutely amazing. I was a bit hestiate about this when I arrived at the airport. Back home, everyone was telling me that I was paying to be kidnapped. However, Daniel and Victor was completely friendly and pure gentlemen (they offered to tote my huge suitcase for me). And they put my hestiations away. After... more

I found the Island Experience on Trip Advisor, it looked amazing and thought I'd try it. A girlfriend and I went and really enjoyed it. At first it wasn't exactly as expected. It was a bit more 'regimented' than what we thought it would be but loved it either way. The island is beautiful, the lodging perfect and very cool,... more

This is the best one-week vacation ever! I've been twice and I plan to go back again. By the time I leave the island, any stress or tension in my body and mind has left and I am completely relaxed and blissful. The island is spectacularly beautiful and untouched and the daily hikes are amazing; the people are wonderful; the... more

The massages were great, the yoga instructors were wonderful. I just had a really good time on this trip and I left feeling very happy and healthy! more

Loved it!

Lovely, private accomodations. All meals are healthy, beautifully presented and the awesome staff is mindful of your well-being at every moment of your stay. Simply put, the best adventure spa... more
