Civana Wellness Resort & Spa

If I could give you one tip, it would be do not go. This is nothing more than motel that they attempted to put lipstick on. When I read negative reviews, I often question if the reviewer is being dramatic or had some really negative experience with a particular person. Trust me when I tell you, I’m giving you an accurate review. The facility itself is drab, depressing and an old motel with an even worse conference room feel. The yoga rooms are just as bad and depressing. The yoga studios at my gym are far nicer. The rooms are even worse. They are small, drab, and just plain sad. The service is so par and the food is below average. They literally nickel and dime you for everything. There also doesn’t seem to be a lot of food available during the day and not a lot of food options for the cost and as compared to other similar resorts. Classes are also often full. In terms of the spa, you also cannot get in without an appointment. But they’re often booked and only provide day passes to day guests. The spa is also just an average space that is slightly more elevated than the rest of the facility. The location is fine - pretty but not amazing. Overall, if it wasn’t for the fabulous group of ladies that I went with, I would’ve left early. The cost isn’t at all in line with what you get.Save your money and go to one of the many other similar resorts in the country.

Overall experience was exactly what I was hoping for and even a little better than anticipated. Spa and grounds were peaceful and amazing. Staff were kind and helpful. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the classes, which were more varied and helpful than anticipated.

Totally underrated place! Top notch and perfect for a solo trip. Everyone who works here is nice, food was great (and healthy), classes incredible and spa services the best! Will definitely be back. Every space has been carefully curated and thoughtful. So many classes to choose from.

Unfortunately, the Hotel was not accessibility friendly. Because I have MS, I currently use walking sticks, which I described at length to the Front Desk prior to booking this property. They assured me this was a small one-building property. Additionally, I added these notes to my online reservation. However, upon arriving we were greeted by a less than enthused Front Desk reception. When we learned not only was our room not near the lobby, as previously told, it was actually in another building with a long walk to our room. To net this out, this hotel could not have cared less about my special needs, with the exception of the Bell staff (especially Liam & Michael). While the Spa was incredible, the hotel staff needs to take a lesson in Empathy & Hospitality. It was so bad, we had to move hotels to The Boulders, where they clearly do understand the importance of the guest Experience.

This resort was so healing for my soul! Starting with morning meditations, outdoor yoga to soak in the sun to evening sound bath healing…. It was just what my body needed for a reset. I loved they gave you a stainless steel water bottle and had fill stations across the property - that was a nice touch as opposed to plastic water bottles all weekend. Also I loved that most of the food/snacks offered were yummy but gluten free and vegan. I’ll definitely be back again for a reset! Finally the spa - I couldn’t have asked for more. It was great! The classes I loved - intermediate dragon fly hike - was impressed with the guides knowledge of the flora and stores about carefree - I felt like I learned a lot! -body love - i really didn’t know what to expect thought it was light yoga but it turned out to be a body/mind healing for the soul…all the folks in the room were crying by the end (in a good release type of way) -sound and singing bowls - both of the night time classes were lovely - a great way to end each night to ready your body for peaceful sleep.
