About this trip
Take a break from every day life & join Sam Grillo & Rachel Mardoian for a seaside retreat to Sayulita! We will spend our time at La Joya Hotel & Retreat Center, featuring stunning ocean views, a salt water pool, sauna, cold plunge, jacuzzi, organic food, yoga, breathwork & more!
The goal here is to leave feeling refreshed, joyful and reconnected to your Self, having had five days, and four nights, in paradise being cared for. There's such beauty in spending time on retreat, focusing alone on nourishment, joy, friendship and peace.
We're thrilled you'd consider joining us for a retreat! Please reach out directly to us with any questions: joyofthesea.retreats@gmail.com
With love,
Sam & Rachel

Cancellation/Refund Policy
As for our cancellation policy, below is what we can offer. We hope you will understand that it takes a huge amount of work and financial commitment on our part to make this an amazing trip for all.
Your deposit payment is non-refundable.
If you cancel before or on April 26, you will be refunded all you've paid but your deposit.
If you need to cancel on or after April 27, we cannot offer any refunds.
If you end up with a last minute extenuating circumstance, and there is someone on our waitlist that is able to fill your spot, we will do our best to work with you and that person to make it happen. Thank you for understanding!
Missed Payment Policy
We appreciate your on time payments if you've opted to use a payment plan.
We will send you a payment reminder a week before the payment due date! If you miss the deadline, we will send you a courtesy reminder within 24 hours of your missed payment. If we don't receive the payment after 48 hours, we may need to cancel your spot and open it up to another attendee (deposit is still non-refundable).
Our deadlines are in line with dates that we personally owe payments to the retreat center, so we really do appreciate your understanding around this policy!
