I had a fantastic stay at the Glass House retreat - the team were amazing! Friendly, supportive, and attentive, they made sure I felt right at home. My room was a treat: clean, bright, and airy, with a fabulous rainforest shower and super comfy bed. And wow, the food! Every dish was delicious, I wanted to take the chef home with me! There were loads of activities to keep me busy, and I left feeling refreshed and recharged.

Rooms are beautiful and clean. The Staff were amazing, polite, welcoming and attentive, the resort felt like a home away from home. Food was delicious and my spa treatments from Zoe was unbelievable.
