I am someone who doesn’t get out of the country much, but hearing about a Pilates retreat, I knew I just had to go. I must say I was skeptical of the small plane, the van ride on a dirt road, and a boat ride to the island. However, I am here to say, IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! You are in good hands! The staff from start to finish is so incredibly accommodating and some of the friendliest people I have EVER had the pleasure of meeting! This was hands down, the absolute, most relaxing vacation I have ever been on. The staff and the food are out of this world! I will 100% be going back there!!!

I had such an amazing time at Thatch Caye. The location is truly incredible -- you can kayak around the whole island! The accommodations are comfy, the activities are endless (from volleyball to corn hole to paddle boarding to snorkeling trips), the massage I got was out of this world, and the food and drinks were delicious. Daily yoga with Iva was both grounding and challenging, the perfect reminder to stay present while surrounded by so much beauty. The staff are lovely people! Thank you to everyone who made this retreat possible.

ands down the absolute best yoga retreat I have ever experienced! Travel was easy breezy and super safe! Immediately after landing in Belize (ahhhh dreamy Belize), I was greeted by Maile (ask for Maile) with her smiling and welcoming face!!! Everyone knows and loves Maile and she knows everyone and everything Belize from the hot spots to the local secrets!!!!

The island is Perfect! Magical! It’s private and clean and safe and beautiful and the staff becomes family instantaneously.

BFree is the studio from Austin,TX, that was hosting the yoga retreat...again, perfection!!!! Yoga in the a.m and yoga late afternoon or early evening was mixed perfectly with island activities. There were so many options, do everything or nothing at all. Literally returned 5 days ago and am already looking into another trip with Belize Retreats; solo and family style!!!

Copal Tree Lodge truly is a little piece of heaven. Vast rainforests, unobstructed views, fresh, sustainably farmed food, tastefully furnished, clean rooms, and a variety of amenities provide an atmosphere of peace and serenity. The service is outstanding, the staff made us feel welcome and pampered - we are especially thankful for the wonderful help with the Yoga Palapa - everything fresh flowers, fresh water, fans and lighted torches. Our morning yoga classes ended with fresh, chilled coconut water, and our evening meditation classes were surrounded by dancing fireflies. We used Copal Tree farmed , organically grown, grown with the intention to be good to the land, cacao for our cacao ceremony. Everyone at the resort was accommodating and helpful - and the beautiful surroundings make it easy to immerse in nature. Copal Tree is proof that it is possible for humans to do both, live comfortably and in harmony with nature.
