Attending the retreat in Panama was a truly memorable experience. The classes with Maggie were exceptional—her teaching style was inspiring, supportive, and transformative, making each session a highlight of my stay.
The food was very good overall, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. However, as someone living in Bermuda, I especially value the chance to immerse myself in local culture when I travel. While I can enjoy Mexican or international cuisine at home or elsewhere, I can only truly experience Panamanian food when I’m in Panama. For me, local dishes are an essential part of the cultural journey.
The few Panamanian signature dishes that were served were outstanding—the best meals of the retreat by far. I would love to see more of those authentic flavors incorporated into the menu in the future, as they add so much richness to the overall experience.
On top of that, the hotel staff were very good and genuinely friendly, which made the stay even more welcoming. And Maggie’s energy throughout the retreat was simply wonderful—uplifting, warm, and full of life.
