He had all the equipment and gave Jim a total safety rundown. After he accessed Jim's level of experience, they went out on the water for about 3 hours! He also had a GoPro with him and shot images and short video for Jim to keep and share with friends in Boston! This was a great experience and I plan to do it next time as I live here! Mucho Mahalo Rayn and MS&S!!!! You guys ROCK!!!

I can't believe I'm giving it 3 stars, but it is what it is…read more The grounds are beautiful, and the yoga and breathwork classes were great. As a light sleeper, this place was a nightmare. Every room is on a deck, and each room is decorated with old wood furniture. Why is this bad? You hear absolutely everything. All night, if a neighbor goes out late, comes home late, or simply tosses and turns in bed, you will hear it. You need a reservation to eat in the restaurant, so don't count on any last-minute changes. They probably don't want to overbuy food that won't sell. And I'm sure the menu is farm-to-table and all that good stuff, BUT that's kind of a turn-off when you just want to eat where you're staying, forgetting to plan dinner the moment you wake up, or planning the day before. Instead, you find yourself having to get up and leave again. If you don't have a reservation, a hipster kid will pop out of nowhere and make you feel very unwelcome. No bar. No snacks. Down the hill are some cute places to eat, but having to leave for every meal isn't ideal. There is a light breakfast in the morning, with emphasis on the light. The fire pits are a nice touch, and people were nice and welcoming if you wanted to join them by the fire at night. If you're allergic to cats, heads up! I was also surprised when children showed up. When I think of yoga retreat, meditation, when I look at the meditation maze, I don't exactly think kids are going to show up, but they did. Dead cockroaches and dust under the bed. And yes, I understand we are in the country and in a warm climate, but still, it isn't exactly welcoming. If you plan to make your own cocktails, note that there is no ice machine. The kitchen is the only place with available ice, and the staff was okay with you asking for a glass, but you can tell they don't want to be doing it all the time. If I stayed here again I'd go during school so no kids yelling while I'm at a meditation retreat and I'd go while doing a cleanse.

We just got back home from staying at the Lumeria for two nights. Upon first glance, it's very…read morebeautiful, lush, tranquil, you name it, the outside area is just stunning. 5/5 stars for the landscaping and lovely and healthy complimentary breakfast, which included fresh berries and all the avocado you could want. The room looked pretty upon arrival, though we did notice very quickly that it wasn't a very comfortable room. Firstly, I lost an earring on the floor and when I went to look for it, I could see much because the wood floor was covered with dust, dirt and even dead cockroaches. Looked like it hadn't been swept for a week minimum. Dropped a pillow on the floor and it was covered with a heavy layer of dust when picked up. I'm also very allergic to cats and felt like I was getting cat allergies in my room. The site does do advertising for cats and there are lots of cats on the premises. I don't know if cats are allowed in the room, but damn. Good thing I had my nebulizer for my asthma. I'm also very allergic to dust, and our room was dusty on the floor, so can't confirm it was for sure cats that caused it but I'm not that allergic to dust. I was there for my anniversary with my bf but we couldn't have sex because the bed was so loud and squeaky and groaned whenever we moved. They made it clear they don't come do housekeeping except every 3 days and gave us a total of two full size towels to use for two days and nights "for both shower and pool", but the shower doesn't have a door so the whole bathroom floor was soaked after using the shower and we had to use our towels to mop it up, too. The robe which was hanging in the bathroom beautifully to use, looked like it had been washed a thousand times and was neither soft nor comfortable. Which had to be used because like I said, no towels. So the price point of the retreat was very high at about $450-500 per night including taxes and fees. We could have asked for more towels but the room doesn't have a phone; we would have had to get dressed and walk to the office to ask for more. It wasn't worth the hassle so we just used wet towels the second day. In speaking of the office, it's basically not made for guests unless you're there to shop. In order to get through the office door, you have to go around a chair and both customer chairs are behind the door. The office is quite large, but nearly the entire space is for the desk of the employee with an extra several feet on her side of the desk not being used because it was such a large space. But the space for the guests to come check in was around a chair and very small close to the wall, 90% of that room was not being used but somehow the area for guests to sit was a little smashed. These little things don't matter much but it's feeling like the space is more for employees and actually they don't care much about the comfort of the guests. Looks good but doesn't feel good... Which really should be the motto for the entire trip. There's a hammock area but it's really minimal, the hammocks are old and ripped and the area just wasn't spectacular in any way. It could be so much better. So much about this place could be SO MUCH BETTER. There's so much wasted potential! The price point is crazy until that happens. The bathroom has these nice upper windows that are made to shine bathroom light through to the room when the door is closed. Honestly, the placement of the bathroom chandelier lamp in relation to the bed was horrible. Laying in bed the bright was directly in my eyes. It was the only option for "soft lighting" in the room, however, so we tried to make do by trying to cover the light with pillows in the windows. You need to bring earplugs, there are multiple roosters crowing starting at 4 am daily, nonstop. That's not the retreat's fault but its important to note because we were exhausted and the walls are so paper thin; someone was banging through the wall when I was taking a very quiet shower and murmuring something quietly to my boyfriend, which was purposefully very quiet because you can hear all the neighbors, and the site seems to put everyone in the same area even when it isn't full. Unless you love yoga, stay somewhere else probably. It's not that relaxing most especially for the price. The videos are the best of the site. I don't take pictures of anything gross or dirty. Wasn't planning on leaving a review but changed my mind.
