My stay at this resort was amazing! The yoga sessions were tailored to everyone's needs, which made it super welcoming, and I had plenty of time to unwind at the beautiful beach. The service from the staff was outstanding, especially from Sharon, who made the check-in process a breeze. However, there were a couple of minor issues with the apartment, like only having one key and some coffee supplies that were past their prime.

I had an incredible time at Lantana Galu Beach, which truly feels like an oasis right by the sea. The rooms are spacious and clean, making it a comfortable getaway. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and enjoying yoga retreats, but I did find the dining experience a bit lacking, especially with some food items that didn't meet expectations. Overall, the hotel is a beautiful spot with friendly service, but the restaurant could definitely use some improvement.
