The beds were very small. Listed as Queen beds but undoubtedly Full sized beds. They were uncomfortable and not the best to sleep in. The staff and variety of classes were great! The grounds were extremely clean. The flies were overwhelming! They surrounded you at the pool

The property was overpriced, had to call to request housekeeping after our room wasn’t cleaned on the second day. Housekeeper came with a big attitude. Limited menu choices at two dining options on site. During lunch with 3 friends on our last day, restaurant server kept coming to the table and interrupting our conversation - obviously we didn’t need anything. $67.76 “experience” fee charged per day, even if you don’t take any classes. Few are good, some are very corny. Spa is very expensive and most certainly not the best spa experience I’ve had. Finally, they allowed one of my friends to add herself to my room, didn’t take her credit card, so little did I know I had to pay for all of her extras and classes that were charged to the room - which Civana never got my authorization for in advance. Will not return to this resort. Did not end my trip feeling relaxed or reset. Left very annoyed by the waste of money.

I loved the spa & the amenities. The staff there were very attentive & friendly. My message was amazing, Thanks Teri! As before, I love the aesthetic of the room, classes & property. The only issue was I wanted a direct sunlight room. I called & was told I would get a call back about that & didn't. I knew I wouldn’t in the back of my mind & went on to enjoy my stay. The waitress at the bar at Terras seemed a bit annoyed Saturday night. Me & 2 other ladies sat down to eat & drink. I went to the restroom, not sure what happened as I was gone, but I came back to some intense uncomfortable energy. The attitude we were getting was different from the night before. I hope the attitude the 3 of us ladies felt, doesn’t happen to anyone else in a wellness environment. First time any of this has ever happened staying here or going to Terras. Overall, I made the best out of my time & trip to the resort. I think the timing may play a role in when to go.
