Feb 19,2025Health and Fitness Travel (Laura) were incredibly helpful in helping me find and tailor a package to stay at The Retreat Wellness Resort & Spa in Costa Rica. I have always had a fantastic experience booking with them and would highly recommend using them. They curate a great list of wellness options. The Retreat was a pocket of heaven high up in the hills outside of San José. The transport from the airport (~40 mins) was organised by the hotel and super easy. My room was spotless and private with a little terrace to enjoy the incredible views over the hills and Pacific Ocean in the distance. The food was delicious and fresh (mostly all from their garden at the resort). And the spa was excellent which a huge range of available treatments. They look after you very well. With less than 20 rooms, everything is very personalised. It never felt crowded (e.g. by the pool areas) so such a relaxing stay. Daily yoga and opportunity to self-discover on a nature walk (although a map could have helped here). Got to see Toucans, monkeys and lots of birds/ butterflies within the bounds of the resort. I took advantage of a couple of their excursions by their private tour guide/ concierge. A little pricier than if you booked with a group tour but so convenient in terms of setting off straight from the hotel and all food covered. The guide was really knowledgeable and shared a lot about local culture as well as nature insights. There were a number of other solo travellers. They are expanding (it didn’t disrupt in any shape or form during my stay) with more rooms and facilities so it will be interesting to see how it evolves. They have a great ethos and service focus so I’m sure it will retain the small exclusive retreat vibe despite this. If anyone is looking to visit to Costa Rica, for the chance to sample a bit of this amazing country, with a bit of luxury and relaxation added to the experience, I can’t recommend The Retreat highly enough.

Feb 10,2025We had an extremely great experience booking our holiday accommodation with Health and Fitness Travel, Laura was always available and provided quotes quickly which enabled us to travel in the time period we requested. Everything went as planned hotel transfer, room request. We will definitely be using Health and Fitness travel again.

Jan 23,2025This resort is incredible, I have been 5 times now as I always know it’s going to be fabulous. Whatever you like in terms of Beach or Body, this resort has everything. The place is not only picturesque but super clean and the staff are so attentive. The food is gorgeous and healthy and I love the afternoon teas too. The owners are wonderful people and maintain this place to be super comfortable, friendly and welcoming

Dec 23,2024Laura Burden at Health & Fitness Travel has excelled this year by introducing us to Kamalaya Wellness Retreat. Having shortlisted a few places ourselves we returned to Laura for advice and our attention was turned to Kamalaya and before we knew it in a smooth and painless process, dates were fixed, flights were booked and the holiday was set. Kamalaya was amazing, the staff were welcoming, professional and tailored the stay to our needs. I thoroughly recommend booking through Health and Fitness Travel.

Oct 30,2024Laura and the team were so kind from the get go, and suggested a trip exactly as I hoped, at very short notice (only two weeks or so before travelling), which included my favorite sport, a beautiful hotel and great pick-up and drop-off at the airport already planned. Laura was very easy to reach, and always helpful when I asked questions. I was particularly pleased that she was able to sort out some changes to my tennis classes when I arrived in Portugal, once again at short notice. The resort (Pine Cliffs in Portugal) was beautiful and the tennis coaches were brilliant. Overall would really recommend booking with Health and Fitness!

Oct 10,2024I had such a wonderful week of tranquility and healing. Vilalara was wonderful. Thankyou to Laura at Health and Fitness Travel for all your help in finding the right resort and health package for me and all your superb organisation. A highly professional service showing empathy and kindness.

Oct 07,2024I’ve booked juicing detox retreats through Health and Fitness Travel five times now, and each time has been a great booking experience - cheaper than booking directly. The team is friendly, helpful, and makes the booking process so easy. They really listen to what I’m looking for and always recommend fantastic retreats that suit my needs perfectly.

Oct 01,2024I recently booked a vacation with Health and Fitness Travel - and would highly recommend! I worked with Laura, who was super attentive and responsive. She helped me narrow in on a perfect holiday option for me and my son based on some of my wishes and limitations. - Laura provided detailed information about multiple resorts, including sample itineraries/activity options - Laura was super quick to respond to questions I had, making the turn around time for decision making super quick and easy - She followed up after booking and before my trip to make sure everything was in order and to give me numbers/contacts for support if needed. She even followed up after the trip to see how it was! - Booking through Health and Fitness travel was far easier, quicker and cheaper than any other option I found! I got a great package deal, including transfer to and from the airport which I couldn't find on the main hotel website. The hotel/resort we stayed at. (Porto ELounda in Crete) was incredible! My son and I had such an amazing vacation - full of relaxation, beach, water sports, etc. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming - we felt immediately at ease and part of the resort family. We would definitely go again! Overall I would highly highly recommend working with Health and Fitness travel!!

Sep 26,2024My fifth year of holidaying with Health and Fitness Travel. I am always very well looked after and supported by them. The package they offer is comprehensive and with flexibility which makes the whole experience easy and pleasant. The team at Paradis Plage in Morocco are delightful and it is clear that all who work there are happy to do so. The hotel is a wonderfully peaceful place to stay and in no way feels like a touristy destination. Not a place to stay if you want to go to a shopping mall, clubbing or noise ! The rooms are large and comfortable with small kitchen facilities. The food is delicious with and with variety to suit palates. The new executive chef has improved what was already a good offering, The spa is just lovey with many treatments available, the staff are sensitive to specific needs. The yoga off the scale good, Karsten is a hugely knowledegable and talented tutor who looks after each person in the class to ensure their practice is safe and physically correct. The classes are fun and informative + as challenging as requied as options are always offered. Definately my intention to book for next year.

Sep 26,2024Longevity Wellness in Alvor was just the tonic. Great balance of cardio, strength, training circuits, fab spa, relaxing massages and chance to try new therapies. Plus, nice run across the board walk over the nature reserve by the sea. Fusion Fitness made booking last minute straightforward. Their first-hand knowledge of each place is particularly helpful as enables sound, personalised recommendations. Thanks again

Sep 18,2024Solo travel I was looking for a holiday with a health and fitness vibe as a solo female traveller. There are many companies and holidays available to choose from on the internet. As a solo female traveller safety and the cost plays an important part of the experience. There are quite a few holidays out there that annoyingly cost so much more for a solo traveller. I contacted Health and Fitness travel with many specific requirements. I received a reply from Laura almost immediately. Laura was so attentive, asked the right questions and found me a selection of holidays for me to choose from. I selected Porto Elounda in Crete. I had to change my requirements a few times in order to select the right dates etc for me. Laura was so patient and knowledgeable, she put together a fabulous holiday for me that met all my wishes. I highly recommend Laura and Health and Fitness Travel. Everything was superb and the holiday was just absolutely what I wanted and needed. Thank you Laura, you are amazing.

Aug 27,2024I was looking for a trip for my husband and I while both have different objectives - I contacted multiple agents but for some reason Laura from Health and Fitness travel made me feel very comfortable and immediately understood our needs, I can assure you that this was the fastest decision I ever took when booking a trip ! She was also very understanding to very specific details and was patient with me when I was evaluating options, she made sure that all is well set before her time off and ensured I have all the details and names of people to contact in case something happens. I did not have to worry about the ride to the hotel or any logistics as it was all set and ready! And the fact that it was a surprise was also something she took care of to the heart! Even in the spa all details that Laura discussed with me were offered and it was great Now SHA is something else, it’s a beautiful wellness spa that caters for absolutely everyone, very understanding, welcoming, professional and extremely attentive - it’s an experience that I am urging everyone to go to and it provides lessons and results for a life time ! Thank you Laura and I cannot wait to plan my next trip with you!

Jul 11,2024Excellent advice on which hotel would suit me best. I was given a handful of options but guided toward a particular hotel based on my health and beauty treatment wishes. I have travelled with Health & Fitness Travel twice - each very different locations - each perfect for what I wanted/needed at the time. Well done Laura!

Jun 18,2024I really rate health and fitness travel. They have listened to my requirements and have always come up with excellent advice and recommendations. They are responsive and are unique in my experience in that they really understand the health and fitness travel options. Laura in particular has been a great help in advising me on my most recent bookings. Great to find an agent that offers real value added service and advice.

Jun 14,2024I have just returned from the Longevity Hotel in Alvor, Portugal which a friend and I booked through Laura at Heath & Fitness Travel. Laura listened to our requests and couldn't have chosen a better place for us - it was everything we wanted/needed and we are already planning a return trip! The food and the classes at the hotel were amazing and we loved being able to walk into town for dinner in the evening. We didn't want to leave which must be a good sign! Thank you Laura.

Jun 11,2024I had the most emotionally, spiritually, invigorating, life affirming experience through Health and Fitness Travel at Shanti Som. I have never engaged in this type of holiday and was very nervous and actually wanted to cancel but the travel agency and Laura and Sonia literally left no stone uncovered. They did everything 90% of it I didn’t even have to ask. I have never experienced such high quality efficient service. I will now be going once a year. The food the hikes the yoga the solace the spa the time alone , it was so needed and I just cannot rate my experience high enough. I fell in love with this type of self care

Mar 01,2025I just wanted to write a quick review because the customer service I received from Thiago over the phone was brilliant. Although we haven’t booked anything just yet, Thiago really helped us out with recommendations and travel tips. He was very helpful and I felt as though he went above and beyond.
