Absolute Sanctuary has been just the mind/body/soul escape I've been needing. I inquired about the suitability of booking one of their packaged programs because I am pregnant, and Jee created a custom pregnancy program for me for the length of stay I was in need of. Everything has been wonderful to say the least. Pick up from the airport was easy - no waiting required. The fact that they provide you with a schedule ahead of time with all your services/appointments booked made planning simple. They were able to block off time I requested for certain tours, and were also flexible with adding in other treatments. There was ample time throughout the day to relax by the pool and reflect. The room (Seaview deluxe) was clean and well appointed. The view itself was minimal but I enjoyed watching the sun rising above the water on my balcony every morning, so I found it worth it. They warned me of the stairs ahead of time, which would be manageable for anyone with a decent level of fitness, but it definitely provided a good leg/glute workout going up them a few times a day. The staff was all so kind and have provided wonderful service though. The food and juices have been so delicious and nourishing. Any health enthusiast would love it! The spa treatments (prenatal massages, facials, and scrubs) have been so relaxing, and everyone there was so sweet and caring. The amount of care they all had for me was astounding compared to what you'd normally get in the US. In my 1:1 prenatal yoga classes, Jana took great care in ensuring I was comfortable and safe in all the movements, and she provided great tips for how to practice throughout my pregnancy. The life coaching sessions included in my program integrated well with everything else I was working through, and Stephanie was wonderful at holding space for me providing recommendations. The shuttles they offered to the nearby beaches and night markets provided sufficient opportunities to explore more parts of the island, though I believe they are also able to arrange taxis for you as well. There were daily group workshops (free) available as well as alternative therapies for a fee, which I participated in a couple of times, which were enriching and powerful. I enjoyed how small the resort was, making it feel like a tranquil oasis, plus I got to meet several amazing solo travelers. The absence of smoking/drinking was very refreshing too, which added to the overall feeling of being focused on holistic health. Overall, it's been a beautiful and transformative experience. It has been everything I could have hoped for as I prepare for this life transition. I feel rejuvenated, nurtured, at peace, and thankful to have had this opportunity to have myself (and my baby) well taken care of on this journey.
