I loved every minute. The villas are gorgeous and the layout of the resort superb. Loved all the activities – The hike and bike ride were exhilarating – challenging but that is the point! I can’t wait for next year. Gilly’s retreats are the perfect balance between active and chill – you’ll feel both invigorated and rested. Highly recommended.
