The retreat itself with Maria and the Pilates was amazing, all the women I loved, and Anna who organized it was great! Euphoria had really beautiful facilities but there were many things that made it not a 5 star experience. Firstly I had issue with the spa staff there was a mix up with my appointments and the staff blamed me and were extremely rude and constantly reiterated it was my fault to my face. It was so awful I had to speak with the manger. The manager was great but then after I went to my appointments the spa staff were very rude and It made me feel very uncomfortable. I have been to many 5 star facilities and the staff can make or break your experience. Secondly, the food was awful and the fact we only were fed twice a day without any snacks was mind blowing some of us ladies had to walk into town to eat because we were starving. Lastly, there were so many extra costs to do anything or use facilities of the building. For how much we all paid, I am extremely disappointed and would never come here again nor would I recommend anyone to come here.
Every moment was better than the next! The accommodations were cozy with beautiful views and in walking distance to the sea. Anna with Fykiada Retreats is a beautiful soul full of light and joy and able to infuse that into everything she does! The food was prepared lovingly by the incredible Afendula and was beyond delicious. Qi Gong and Yin yoga led by Stephanie Nosco was nourishing to mind, body and soul and a deeply nourishing experience. If I could have stayed forever I would have!!!
Such a beautiful retreat! The views were out of this world. The food was absolutely divine. The hosts were gracious and warm. The program was amazing as usual. Stephanie is an exceptional teacher and guided us through a thoughtful blend of qigong and yin yoga throughout the week. If you ever have a chance to go on retreat with Stephanie, PLEASE do yourself a favor and sign up. You will not regret it!
