The Belize Tropical Dream Retreat was the perfect way to start 2026! Everything was intentionally planned from the wellness mood board session to the meals, excursions, and yoga/meditation sessions. Raquel is a gracious host, and Mahogany Hall Resort/San Ignacio truly is paradise!
My trip to Belize with Raquel was honestly such a dream. Everything felt easy, fun, and perfectly balanced between exploring and just soaking it all in. We spent our days surrounded by nature, trying new foods, laughing nonstop, and creating memories that I’ll forever be grateful for. Raquel has such a calming but uplifting energy, she really knows how to bring people together and make everyone feel comfortable and excited for the experience. Belize was absolutely beautiful, but sharing it with someone who genuinely loves travel and community made it even more special. I left with the fullest heart, the best memories, and tons of pics. Would travel with her again in a heartbeat.
The retreat in St. Lucia was an amazing experience. The views of the majestic Pitons from our villa were breathtaking and refreshing. Seeing the sunset everyday from our room was awe-inspiring, and hearing the birds chirping in the morning and the crickets singing at night were a sweet melody. Each day was a lovely adventure-starting the day with gentle movement and a nourishing breakfast was delightful. I appreciated that we had a rest day for the first full day of the retreat, and I thoroughly enjoyed my massage therapy session. I enjoyed the beach days, going to Sulphur Springs for a healing experience, seeing the Toraille Waterfalls, seeing the Diamond Waterfalls, admiring the foliage of the botanic gardens, and soaking in the mineral baths. Every meal was absolutely delicious at the villa and at local spots we visited. Sipping cocoa tea became a nightly ritual. I'm grateful we had an open day on the retreat as it gave me an opportunity to visit family. I'm grateful for experiencing the retreat with one of my sister friends and developing new friendships on the retreat. I would highly recommend the retreat to St. Lucia. It gave me the rejuvenation, ease, joy, and peace I needed to end the year softly. This was the best trip I've had this year!

Chishinga, thank you for sharing your experience in St. Lucia!! Those crickets were singing so loud but it was very soothing to sleep to the sound!! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your retreat experience and was able to see your family. See you again on retreat soon!
I’m still in awe. I’m forever grateful for this experience and for the incredible women I met during this retreat. This was my first time attending a LoveHer retreat, and it truly exceeded my expectations. It was a reset I didn’t know I needed. Raquel did an amazing job creating a space that felt thoughtful and well organized, which made it easy to fully relax and just be present. Every moment felt intentional. I’m already looking forward to attending another retreat.
We had a fantastic time. The staff was amazing! The food was fresh and delicious. They catered to our group and made us feel welcome. The view from my room was breathtaking. The retreat was just what I needed!
Raquel is a light! She joined some of my dearest friends and I to celebrate my Birthday through yoga practice and sound meditation. She created an experience that accommodated all yoga experience levels. She spoke words of encouragement during our practice and helped us to center ourselves in peace. I cannot speak highly enough of Raquel and how intentional she is about sharing her gift. My friends and I feel so blessed to have experienced this intimate session with her. It was such a gift that we’ll continue to talk about for years to come. Thank you so much Raquel for being you and helping all of us tap into our inner selves.
