Three things make BodyHoliday a standout resort that I wholeheartedly recommend— the staff, the staff, and the included spa treatments. Monique, Simone, Digna, Tadius, Trista, Sam, Daphne, Yohan, Wendell, Janine, Fredrica, etc. seem more like new friends than staff. And they know their guests by name! How they do it, I’ll never understand. The… Read more
Three things make BodyHoliday a standout resort that I wholeheartedly recommend— the staff, the staff, and the included spa treatments. Monique, Simone, Digna, Tadius, Trista, Sam, Daphne, Yohan, Wendell, Janine, Fredrica, etc. seem more like new friends than staff. And they know their guests by name! How they do it, I’ll never understand. The general manager Yhasmine is a gem. She is very personable and gracious and likes to engage with her guests to ensure their visit is meaningful. I hosted a retreat here for a group of women, and we would all return in a heartbeat! My only regret is that our retreat was scheduled for 5 days instead of 7. I won’t make that mistake again! Verdict: more trips to BodyHoliday in 2025 and beyond, Yah willing. Read less

Went to Body Holiday for a girls’ trip in October 2024. Well-appointed rooms, gorgeous views, a huge variety of fitness classes (with hilarious and motivational instructors), and daily spa treatments/massages included. I anticipated mostly relaxation benefits from the treatments but noticed improvements in my mobility and back pain after just a few days. The resort has a large variety of food and drink options (also included), including an impressive array of cocktails/mocktails, and a lovely afternoon tea (don’t sleep on the apple tart!!!) I can understand why I met so many repeat visitors during my trip - would definitely love to return! Read less

Pros Amazing location and beach Food is good - great salad bar at lunch Exercise classes run on time and the instructors are good. Beach crew helping with towels and sun loungers Wellness cafe - good coffee and smoothies. Sports instructors - golf and sailing were knowledgeable and made lessons fun. Drinks - wine and cocktails were nice and well made with branded liquor Cons Room downgraded - previously booked a garden view room and had a balcony. Not this time and inferior room Management couldn’t sort this out even after speaking to 4 staff members. Jacuzzi - not hot and only two jets working. Service with a frown - some of the treatment booking staff and restaurant staff were unfriendly. Overall amazing place but due to high occupancy it feels like it’s resting on its laurels. Read less
