Barberyn Beach Ayurveda Resort

First Class

Wonderful service! The rooms aren’t new, particularly the bathrooms, but they’re perfectly adequate.

Absolutely top-notch!

It couldn’t have been better.

Very varied!

The saltwater pool was great! Lovely and spacious!

The reception area, like the rest of the hotel, is very open. All the rooms are accessed from outside, so you feel as though you are constantly in the rainforest. Everything is very clean and well kept; the paths are swept regularly, and there are incense sticks everywhere to keep the mosquitoes away. The room was lovely, with simple but perfectly adequate furnishings. The bed was very comfortable and I slept really well. Every afternoon, the mosquito net was secured in place — a lovely touch. The ceiling fan worked very well. I deliberately chose not to use the air conditioning and didn't need it. The room had everything I needed. Every day, there were two flasks of warm water as well as additional bottles of water. There was also an umbrella, which was very useful during the rainy season. Two of the balcony doors had insect screens, so I could sleep with the windows open. It was truly wonderful to hear the sounds of the breathtaking nature around me. The grounds are surrounded by a wall, with two guarded entrances to the beach.

I was welcomed with a garland of flower petals and a drink. While the formalities were being taken care of, my suitcase was taken to my room. Someone showed me to my room and offered to bring lunch up, as there was very little time between my arrival and my first consultation with the doctor. And that’s how it continued. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, attentive and warm. Every single person always greeted me with a smile, and I felt very welcome.

The staff at the Health Centre were always very friendly and helpful. I felt that my therapist in particular really knew what she was doing during the massages. I have a few health issues, and I felt very well looked after there. It was very restful.

Breakfast and lunch were served as a buffet. There was also an evening buffet on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Each dish had a label explaining what it was, what it did and which complaints it might be best avoided for. All the food was covered, as the restaurant is open on the sea-facing side. There was a wide choice, so there should be something for everyone. There was no meat (not a problem for me, as I don't eat it), but there was fish. At breakfast, there was a lovely selection of fruit, freshly peeled. If you are unsure what to choose, you can ask the doctor, who is there during mealtimes. All the restaurant staff were very attentive and friendly.

Guests could use both the pool at Barberyn Beach Resort and the infinity pool at Barberyn Waves. Fresh towels were available, as was drinking water and water for taking medication. The pool areas offered wonderful views of the ocean. There were sun loungers, and Barberyn Beach also had parasols. A lovely place to read or gaze into the distance. The treatment area was just as clean and well kept as the rest of the grounds. I really enjoyed the treatments and was able to relax completely.
