I've known Nalanda Retreat for several years and always enjoy going back, as I really like the location, the food and, above all, the yoga classes. The complex has become too large for my liking, and the condition and cleanliness of the rooms leave something to be desired in places.

It was my first time travelling to India alone, and doing so with Fit Reisen and staying at Nalanda Beach Resort was no problem at all. Everything went really well, including the transfers. There were two 90-minute yoga classes a day in the lovely shalas at the resort, and you could book extra one-to-one sessions if you wanted. The teachers are at a pretty high level, but there were always alternatives for all abilities. I booked Ayurvedic treatments, which were good, although I would have liked better advice beforehand. For example, I didn’t know that you should rest after an Ayurvedic treatment and shouldn’t go swimming in the sea or do yoga. Anyway, I found out for myself and adjusted my daily routine accordingly. The resort is in a lovely location, right by the sea, depending on which room you book. I was right by the sea. The rooms were basic, but cleaned quickly and thoroughly when requested. I felt very comfortable there. Everyone was very helpful and friendly whenever I had a question. Now that I know a taxi to the airport costs around €8–10, I wouldn’t book the transfer through Fit Reisen again. It cost me €90 each way. I know better now. I’ll also overlook the fact that one of the hotel’s shareholders was in the taxi, whose journey I essentially paid for. It would have been fine if I’d been asked; I’m sure I wouldn’t have said no. I really liked the Chia Bar, right by the sea, and the food from both the buffet and the à la carte menu was great. Overall, a lovely place that I’d happily return to. Perhaps not for an Ayurvedic focus next time, but more for yoga.

Good location, family-run, great food. Two yoga sessions a day. The area is fairly quiet; Arambol is within walking distance. Very friendly hotel staff.
