This was my 8th visit to the Body Holiday. It feels like going home and I have even had the same room several times. Why do I return? I feel ok going alone. The staff are lovely. The weather is great. The rooms and beds are fab. The food is plentiful. The daytime atmosphere is great. I always make new friends. There’s loads to do. I get fit. Love having a daily massage. It’s all just lovely. What I’ve missed. There were more couples and only a few solo travellers. I know they have a solo September but this has more of a dating connotation attached to it which puts me off. The evenings used to be busy with solo travellers and the club room kept playing music until 12. They have no live DJ just a guy silent playing from a computer. He said he didn’t had have a mic. You need a DJ with a mic and personality to bring the vibe. However one of the band leaders they had on the Tues was fab and he encouraged the few people who were left to get up and dance. Being mostly couples now they seem to head to bed after dinner so the place dies in the evenings. This was the only reason some of my other solo friends didn’t want to return this year. There also used to be a beach DJ one night a week which was great but this has been replaced by the samba band which finished early. This has not put me off though. It’s still a fabulous place. None like it and I will continue to return. Everything else is perfect. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because of the evenings. If you like getting fit you will be up early any way packing in all the day time activities. Read less
