Relaxing Spa Experience

I had a fantastic experience at the Buena Vida spa! The treatment options were extensive, and I particularly enjoyed the relaxing massages. The atmosphere was calming, and the staff were attentive, which helped me unwind completely after a day of diving. Highly recommend trying the signature massage for the ultimate relaxation.

Comfortable Accommodations

My stay at Buena Vida was made even better by the spacious room I had. It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and included all the necessary amenities like a mini fridge and a hairdryer. The large terrace with a hammock was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden views.

Great Fitness Facilities

I appreciated having access to a gym during my stay at Buena Vida. The fitness center was well-equipped and allowed me to maintain my workout routine. The addition of daily yoga classes was also a big plus, providing a relaxing start to my mornings.

Delicious Breakfast at Ocean Vida

Although breakfast was at the nearby Ocean Vida, the selection was amazing! Every morning I enjoyed a varied menu with fresh pastries and good local dishes. They even catered to my early dive schedule with take-out breakfasts that were tasty and filling.

I had a lovely stay at the resort spa, which offered a peaceful escape with great amenities. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and I found the overall atmosphere tranquil and family-friendly. While the dining options had some highlights, I did wish for a bit more variety during breakfast. The spa facilities were excellent but could have more treatment options. Overall, it felt like a good value for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the resort spa was quite enjoyable overall. The spa services were exceptional and genuinely relaxing. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the Wi-Fi could have been better as it was a bit slow at times. I particularly loved the serene pool area, perfect for unwinding after a day filled with activities. The dining experience was decent, but more variety for breakfast would have made it superb.
