Happy Hosts
“I have led and taught retreats all over the world - Dubai, Cartagena, Mexico, Nicaragua, Koh Samui. In my experience, Vickie & Sergio remain the very best! Truly! I’ve done this for a decade and I feel there is no comparison to their level of expert professionalism, courtesy and service! They deliver and I truly wish I could come back. And I would. It is rare to experience such a high level of exceptionalism. And such JOY! Unparalleled! ”
“I have led many retreats all over the world, and this was hands down the most connected, authentic and magical retreat center I have been to. I felt held and supported from the moment I received my first hello via email, and that warmth and love only grew over the months of planning. I was met at the retreat center with the most uplifting and gentle smile from Vickie and her staff. Every moment was filled with ease and tranquility. The food was exquisite, the yoga shala was magic, and the overall feeling and vibe is what dreams are made of. I cannot wait to return again and again. ”
“Santa Catalina is truly a slice of heaven. Enveloped by nature completely, you feel like you are in a cocoon of staggering beauty. The staff is beyond accommodating and the food is some of the best I have ever had while travelling. The Yoga Shala itself is as well equipped as any studio and the view out to the ocean is idyllic. I cannot say enough about the magic of Santa Catalina. ”
“Vickie and Sergio offer an amazing & unique retreat! The location is by far the best you could ask for. Ocean side dining, surf at your doorstep & the cutest little fishing village just a short walk away. My group and I really appreciated their welcoming, attention to detail & the wonderful excursions and lessons they ran. We really felt at home and loved the extra mile they went in teaching us all about the Panama way of life. ”
