![]() ![]() Staff wore masks at all times even outdoors. Yes I was impressed with the use of face masks and the requirements. The staff made sure we were never in need of anything and went out of their way several times to make sure we were happy! The only recommendation that I would suggest they modify, would be that they keep more restaurants open for dinner when large groups stay. The grounds of the resort were spotless and well maintained. (I was in 3 different locations during the week I was teaching!) Members of my class had to "hunt" for me by the 4th day when I was finally in a spot more than a couple days! I loved the resort and the staff was exceptional. Twice I just happened to bump into the entertainment director on the grounds and he informed me that my class location was changing. The entertainment team at this resort was by far the most organized than any other resort I've been to! (7 or 8 now)! The communication was a little sketchy even with the whats app but the app was extremely helpful for the initial contact since the staff was busy planning the super bowl party when I arrived. I had between 5 to 12 people in my classes. There were individuals with injuries in each class & I provided modifications as well as invited them to take any of their own modifications at any time. I asked at the beginning of each class if anyone had any injuries. The ability levels in each class ranged from complete beginner to regular yoga practitioners. You have to read the class & be ready to provide lots of modifications for beginners & injuries, as well as give options for going into more advanced postures. I was quite nervous at first as I am a new teacher. I taught as per the abilities of the guests attending & the classes were well received. I couldn't have described it better!Ĭlasses are 45 min 8am & 9am. ![]() He said ""the sound of the ocean will be your music"".įor the class location, as a guest in one of my classes said, ""this is the most beautiful yoga studio I've ever been in & I've been in many"". Wow!!! It is a breathtakingly beautiful space. Then he took me to the location for my classes, the gazebo by the ocean. Lucas, the assistant manager showed me where the yoga mats, blocks & towels were. I contacted them & made arrangements to meet them at the Entertainment Centre. She instructed me to contact them on WhatsApp when I arrived at the resort. Missy had emailed my before I travelled & provided contact info for the entertainment team manager & assistant manager. The were in the middle of a busy day when I arrived. I loved their greeting upon arrival to the resort ""Welcome home!"" I travelled solo for this vacation & felt very safe at all times. Amstar shuttle drivers & all resort staff were welcoming, friendly, professional & helpful. Erica booked my transfers & provided all the info I needed to make my arrival & departure smooth & stress free. This was my 1st teaching vacation & I absolutely loved it!! It was amazing! The booking process was so easy! Missy quickly responded to answer my emails. The spa is fantastic and they offer a 50% discount of all services to Fit Bodies instructors, so be sure to take advantage! WiFi and cell signal are super strong. The resort overall doesn’t seem to be well-proportioned for the number of guests: even at 50% capacity, the pools were packed, there was a wait for every restaurant for breakfast and dinner, the buffet selection was very limited compared to other resorts, and it was hard to find space to do anything in the small gym. The rooms are nicely appointed but on the older side. There are two large pools with lovely ocean views, one of which is Preferred Club only, so at this resort, I think upgrading to Preferred Club (which I did) brings a lot of value. RESORT PROS & CONS: The beach here is gorgeous and walkable in both directions with crystal clear water, although it’s not swimmable (dangerous currents and gigantic waves). I had no one show up for most of my classes, and 3 people on one day. Towels are available at the palapa and the bar has water. You go pick up the Corefirsts (if using about 10-15 available) and mats (if using) from the entertainment center, which is about a 5-minute walk away. ![]() The location is a large palapa by the beach with stunning views and a lovely breeze (and a bar right there!). The yoga instructor taught yoga at 8 am and 9 am, while I taught Corefirst at 10 am and 11 am. TEACHING: This resort hosts two pros for two daily classes each.
