Anahata

I think the best time to write a review is a few weeks after the happening. It allows one to settle into a normal daily routine which highlights all things magical even more. Needless to say, MAGICAL is exactly the word that pops to mind when thinking of Anahata Resort. First, let's talk about people. Our fearless leader/organizer Annabel was more than just a program coordinator, she helped with all things imaginable, including friendly chats, tweaks to events and appointments, and her constant reassuring presence. No question was too strange, no request impossible. The other person of note was Simon, the Reiki master extraordinaire. Never before have I been taken to such colourful journeys! The Reiki sessions left me floating an inch above ground, feeling light as a feather, without a worry in the world, and loving everyone and everything in equal measure. This, if I may, should be an integral part of your visit to Anahata. And then there were the incredible masseuses, the always helpful and kind restaurant staff, the knowledgeable and wise tea ceremony master, the fit and fabulous personal trainer (careful, ladies - bring a bib), the amazing and ageless aqua-fit trainer and a myriad of talented yoga teachers. I felt pampered, cared for, heard and cherished, every step of the way. As for the surroundings ... I am an early riser and found myself on the water's edge very early in the morning, before the sunrise, often greeted by the resident voluntary guards (three fabulous doggies) who checked me out to make sure I was "one of the pack". Once satisfied, they remained by my side. Possibly to protect from, erm, not sure whom. This place was safe as houses. The morning colours - pinks and purples, took my breath away. As did the sunset fireworks. The water was clean and inviting, sand warm and cosy, long walks along the shore an absolute must. The food was delicious, juices freshly made, and coconuts were always on a standby. Rooms were roomy (hah), well air-conditioned, WiFi worked. Cannot say anything about the TV. In my 2 weeks there, it never occurred to me to turn it on. In short - I loved every minute of it and cannot wait to return!

Anahata! What a wonderful place to stay at. We planned on staying 2 nights, and it ended up to be a week. The staff was kind, the amenities were great, spacious rooms, sufficient selection in breakfast (with fresh coffee!). We enjoyed every activity which they offered: muay tai and yoga lessons, paddling board and kayak, sauna, well equipped gym and 2 pools. Best in my opinion for couples who seek a quiet place in the island. Thank you Rey and all the kind people we met.

This place is paradise on earth. So chilled, beautiful beach, great food and fantastic staff. Our cottage was really spacious and the kids loved every minute if it. The smoothies and juices were a fantastic boost in the morning to get us going for the day all made with the freshest of ingredients. We can't thank you enough Anahata for looking after us this Christmas. We are going home full of energy and high on life, all thanks to you.
