from arrival to departure, just wonderful! pre-arrival, the staff helped us arrange transfer from airport on the Fun-to-See Ferry. It's the ONLY way to get there! the entire staff was just the best; friendly, accommodating, and attentive. the food was excellent, and save for the Cariblue Windows experience (a bit pretentious for our tastes, but your preferences may differ) plentiful. the snorkeling was surprisingly good. i had visited in 1999 just after a hurricane and didn't recall there being any reef. my far superior half was most appreciative. there's always something to do. we participated in Tai Chi (wonderful instructor), and watched the morning boot camps on the beach (from afar) and evening beach volley ball during tea (with a cocktail in our hand). just can't say enough positive things about BodyHoliday.

I felt totally safe as a woman traveling alone. The resort is beautiful; service was phenomenal; everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. The daily yoga on the dock was good for my soul. The food was fantastic! This was my first visit and I hope it's not my last. I'm already trying to figure out how to get back asap!! Read less

Services and staff were amazing. The massages and sports options were just wonderful. Also the food.... what can I say? Several different excellent options for lunch and dinner, plus drinks and lunch delivered straight to our lounge chairs on the beach! Our only regret is not staying longer! We will definitely be back again!

Super dope resort. Clean, friendly and the food was bomb. Chloe and Tasha were the best. They took care of me my entire stay. I would definitely come again. Funny story, I’m super afraid of elevators and they had me on the 6th floor. I once got stuck in one as a child so as you know I’m traumatized. When I told the staff what happen, they… Read more

Funny story, I’m super afraid of elevators and they had me on the 6th floor. I once got stuck in one as a child so as you know I’m traumatized. When I told the staff what happen, they were always willing to ride the elevator with me. They stopped what they were doing just to help me and I appreciate that more than they know. ❤️ Read less

Had the most amazing experience with Dilan, Shenell, and Kelly. Their assistance and careful care made my experience easy, stress free and allowed me to recharge without worrying about what to do, when, and where to go. The Calypso was always clean, and stocked with my favs.
