I had an incredible time at this resort! The oceanfront casita was beautiful, and the staff were genuinely kind and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, with plenty of options for different dietary needs. However, the beach nearby was slightly better than the one at the resort, and the sound of the waves at night could be a bit distracting for light sleepers.

I had an incredible time at the resort! The location was serene, surrounded by nature, and the yoga experience was top-notch. The food was delicious with a wide variety to choose from, and I loved the open-air cabins that felt like I was truly immersed in the environment. The stairs to my cabin and yoga studios were a bit challenging, but they added an adventurous touch to my stay. Overall, it's a perfect getaway for relaxation, although I'd suggest better access for those with mobility issues.

My stay at Xinalani was an unforgettable experience surrounded by stunning views and nature. The rustic charm of the eco-suites and the friendly interactions with the staff made my trip even more enjoyable. However, I was disappointed with the meal service as some food items ran out too quickly, and the seating arrangements during meal times could use an upgrade. Overall, the amenities and activities offered really enhanced my stay, but there's room for improvement in dining management.

I had an incredible experience at the resort with stunning, clean facilities, and the food was both fresh and delicious, featuring great vegan and gluten-free options. The service exceeded my expectations every single day, but it is worth noting that the journey to the resort involves a boat trip, which some might find inconvenient. The yoga sessions were outstanding, helping me to unwind and connect with nature, making it a truly unique getaway.
