Q&A
1. What is the difference between a Terrace and a Paddy Villa?
Both the Terrace and Paddy Villas offer luxurious accommodations. The primary difference is that the Paddy Villa includes an outdoor seating area, whereas the Terrace Villa does not. If you enjoy relaxing outdoors in your own space, the Paddy Villa would be preferable. However, if you are not an outdoor hanger-outer and you plan to spend most of your time enjoying the resort’s numerous activities and amenities (there are MANY), a Terrace Villa will suit your needs perfectly.
2. The Pool Villa is more expensive; is it worth it?
The Pool Villa offers an unparalleled experience with its private pool and expansive living space. Although it is more expensive (approx an extra $325 per night) —the value it offers is significant, especially for those who appreciate having their own pool, an amazing view (for the Hilltop Villas) or instant acccess to the private beach (Beach Villas). Not until I visited the resort did I see it is totally worth the extra cost, and I think you will too. There are few places in the world that offer this kind of luxury, space, and access for such an affordable price and it will make your retreat exceptionally memorable.
3. What is the cancellation policy?
Our cancellation policy is designed to be as accommodating as possible within the constraints of a highly sought-after retreat. All deposits are non-refundable. After the full payment due date of November 15, 2024, your deposit is still non-refundable, but if you’ve paid in full and must cancel, you can receive a full refund of the balance provided this is done before the due date. Post November 15, if you cannot attend, you are welcome to find a replacement attendee, subject to approval by Ingrid.
4. Do I need trip insurance?
Given the terms of our cancellation policy, purchasing travel insurance is strongly recommended. This ensures that you are covered in cases of unexpected cancellations due to illness or other unforeseeable circumstances. Many credit cards provide excellent travel insurance options, so it’s worth checking with your provider.
5. Do I need yoga experience?
Our retreat caters to all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to advanced. Dr. Ingrid Yang’s vast experience ensures that everyone can participate comfortably and benefit from the daily yoga sessions. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you will find the practices enriching and adaptable to your level.
6. Is transport included?
Transportation to the resort is included only if you arrive on the recommended flight. This is provided via a 34-seat resort bus. For arrivals at other times, you will need to arrange your own transportation, which the resort can help facilitate for approximately $40 USD each way. Please plan accordingly to ensure a smooth start to your retreat experience.
7. Can the retreat accommodate all dietary needs, such as vegan, gluten-free, etc.?
Absolutely! The resort's restaurants accommodate various dietary requirements to ensure every participant enjoys a holistic and nurturing dining experience. Our retreat offers a diverse culinary adventure, with menus crafted by skilled chefs who are well-versed in preparing vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other special diet meals. When you register, you will have the opportunity to specify your dietary preferences and any allergies. This information will be used to tailor every meal to suit your dietary needs throughout the retreat, ensuring you have delicious and healthy options at every meal.
