It was a fantastic and fun trip! Janel did an outstanding job organizing and planning our itinerary. The yoga classes each morning were great and the accommodations and food were excellent. We saw gorgeous sights, including hiking to beautiful waterfalls and beaches. We toured a wonderful tea plantation. The trip was truly amazing and the Azores were spectacular! Thank you so much, Janel!

Magical! I can’t imagine squeezing more wonder and beauty than Janel did into 5 incredible days on the island of Sao Miguel. A true retreat for the body, spirit, and mind. The accommodations: Surrounded by priceless art and antiques in a lovingly restored 14th century monestary, guests are pampered, relaxed, and prepared for the next breathtaking experience. The food: Almost every meal is included in the price…. Gourmet multi-course dinners prepared by chef Delit - with customized options for those with dietary restrictions, plus several unique opportunities to try typical Azorean cooking throughout the itinerary. You will not be hungry. We purchased local wines at the supermarket 2 blocks away… delightful wines for less than 3 euro/bottle! The excursions: A curated journey where one wonder and awe-filled moment follows the next, narrated by passionate local guides hand selected by Janel. The variety and scope of activities offered (some options additional fees may apply) leaves no stone unturned. I opted for the whalewatch - didn’t see whales but saw hundreds of dolphins, 2 sea turtles, and beautiful views of the islands. If you are hesitant about the cost of this trip - don’t be. There is so much included in the price of this tour. The value of this experience is priceless. I will be forever changed by my Opekafit Retreat in the Azores! I should add that this is my 2nd Opekafit retreat (I also enjoyed Morocco very very much).... and I don't intend for it to be my last:)

I would give this trip 10 Stars! The accommodations were spectacular, the excursions took us to all the magical places on the island which is a never-ending array of photo opportunities. The hiking was refreshing and the yoga was a perfect blend of strength, being present and tuning into myself. The food was so healthy, delicious and aesthetically pleasing. I enjoyed the early morning coffee and quiet solitude overlooking the ocean. It was enriching to get to know all the ladies who came on the trip. Each one is a gem and I am forever changed experiencing this trip with them. Overall - an absolutely perfect trip! Great job, Janel! You knew how to make every minute of this trip a moment to savor! I am enriched by all the experiences and cherish the memories I made!

I had an incredible time, met lots of new friends, explored the culture and practiced yoga every day.

I had a good time. The Good: Spain (beautiful) Guides were knowledgeable Transportation was great Biking was fun Hike was perfect Could Improve: Better define the purpose of the trip ie: was it yoga retreat? Health retreat or Cultural experience? Don’t use set menu. Allow guests to choose if possible. The hotel was mediocre: service (other than Oscar and front desk woman both were superb); food was mediocre at best and cleanliness was poor. I wouldn’t recommend it until the management is up and running. Reduce program by a day or 2 if during cultural.
