This is public beach in Añasco, Puerto Rico that is very close to the well known city of Rincón…read more This beach, though public, has a government owned campground where anybody can rent a cabin. Even though it's public, it's often very calm and empty; probably because it's surrounded by a campground and people often think they have to be renting a cabin on the campgrounds in order to visit it, but this is not the case. This beach is very clean, has plenty of trashcans, and is located on the West coast of Puerto Rico, being a great place to watch the sunset. Has playgrounds nearby and plenty of parking if you go into the campgrounds (entering is free, staying on the cabins, you have to contact "Centro Vacacional de Añasco".

This is a MUST. We absolutely loved it. If you are a nature lover this is for you…read more Notes/Recommendations: Reservations must be made in advance at Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales. Address: Carr 8839, San Juan, 00927, Puerto Rico. They are only open M-F. There are only 7 cabins, therefore I recommend you book at least 2 weeks in advance. Cost: 2 adults 1 cabin = $20. No electricity in the cabins. Pack a headlamp/lantern/flashlight and a battery pack to charge up your electronic. The beds are bare. Pack fitted sheets, blankets, quilts, comforters, etc. The nights can be cold. Pack warm PJs. Daytime activities: Rio El Ataud, Charco El Mango, and Puente La Hamaca. Nighttime activities: Sit outside your cabin and listen to the coquis, fireflies and NATURE. It's amazing and breathtaking. There are grill areas and picnic tables. There is a cafe close by that is open 7 days a week that I wrote a review on. Check it out if you forget to pack something or want to grab a quick bite. The name of the cafe is Go Destiny Cafe.

Had a great time at the Chica Yoga Surf camp. You must... MUST.... come on this trip with an open…read moremind. It really was more like adult summer camp. We got up, surfed all morning and then in the afternoon and evenings there were plenty of activities planned for us. We had a hula hoop class, fire dancing class, aerial yoga, a yoga hike, and much more. Renee is not your conventional trip/tour leader but that's what makes the trip so great (having gone in with no expectations). No one can plan for what the ocean will be like so if surfing is a part of your retreat, keep this in mind. The surf instructors (we had Ben and Christy) Renee hires are extremely concerned with safety first. At no point did I feel unsafe and I knew that the instructors had their eye on me no matter what. This made the experience even better and I felt that I truly was able to learn how to deal with the ocean. My body and mind was pushed very far but at the end of the day that's what made this such a great trip. I came home feeling so relaxed and refreshed. It also helped that there are limited outlets and you should not be concerned with your phone at any point on this trip. Really, you don't need it! Surfing in the morning, all you needed to bring was yourself. And any down time you have, you want to either nap or hydrate! Rincon is a great cute town and the beach and a few bars are about a 10-15 minute walk from where you'll stay. Can't wait to book my next retreat.

I wouldn't go back if you paid me…read more This review has been a long time coming. At first I felt bad leaving a negative review, since I'm almost always leaving good reviews and focusing on the positive, but I felt it necessary to share my experience so others would be forewarned. I stayed at Samatahiti 2 years ago for a yoga/foodie retreat. The accommodations are not as explained. A "proper bed" is a cot in a hut. The hut walls have large gaps (6+ inches) around the bottom for anything to walk in and no doors to the huts. They are hot, moldy and humid. I didn't know where to store my clothes to keep them from being wet or in the tight walk ways between the cots. The space is cramped for 3 people to share. They was no glam in what she calls glamping. I have done tent camping with my family and my tents are nicer than these huts. The photos you see online are a not a true representation on what her backyard (that is where you are staying) really looks like. Renee didn't provide anything as far as coffee or even a continental breakfast. You have to walk to a shop about 3/4 mile away to get something to eat. Its not like you could keep food in your hut. Our planned activities were "flexible" as to when they would occur. It really depended on what craziness was going on in her life. Aka, did she have last minute plans with her boyfriend or a new date. I get it, she is much more of a free spirit than I am, but I expect a certain level of professionalism when I am paying for a retreat. There were a few positives: the outdoor showers were nice, Renee is good at yoga alignment and teaching yoga, plus I made a couple of friends that I have remained in touch with. We still message each other on FB occasionally, especially when we get an email suggesting we do another yoga retreat at Samatahiti. They are in agreement with me, none of us would ever go back.

They will actually come up to you and tell you that it takes up space and you need to pay for it. Nope!! Took it down and put it away.

The beach and water are beautiful. The water was prettier than I expected and very warm, but the surf is choppy. The down side of this beach is many vendors walking to try and sell you their homemade foods (questionable), and everything requires cash only. Be prepared, but don't leave your items or bags on the chairs. Lots of trash left on the beach, even though we were told it was very clean. People smoking pot everywhere, so everywhere you are, you are down wind of it...doesn't make for a pleasant beach experience. Enjoy the views, because that's about all you will enjoy during your visit, although I did eat the best empanada I ever ate at a stand at the entrance of the beach for $3.50. At 4:30, The Beach Boys grab up your shade and lounger so you have to go find another place to sit, or just do yourself a favor and go to Playa Pinones, drive through the food area and just past you will find the most beautiful, private beach areas there and the best food. Skip Isla Verde.

Bottom line: 100% worth the hike. I'd say it's a low level, but that's sort of age dependent, do…read moreexpect some difficult areas and mud. Length is about 10-15 mins. There might be a line. Long line: stopped at La Bellota to park. This seems to be the norm and as long as you get a Medalla from the bar no one will complain. You have to go around a gate, and from there the hike is like 70% downhill (so more fun coming back). Expect a decent amount of mud and slippery areas. For reference, my 70ish in laws made it with minor balance assistance. The spot has gotten really popular so if you notice in the first picture there was already a line forming behind us..... on a Wednesday. Make sure to get a tetanus shot before coming; rust everywhere.
