I have a mixed review for Holistika.
Pros: the yoga, sound healing, and mindfulness classes are amazing. The teachers are world-class, and the studio spaces are beautiful.
I stayed in the beehive, and it was easy to make friends with the other women bc they were cool, interesting, and friendly.
Cons: the service here, both from the hotel staff and on-site restaurant, is poor. It’s clear that none of the employees have been trained in hospitality. They were unable to answer basic questions like “can I extend my stay?” When I asked for directions, they’d gesture vaguely and not give a real answer. When I asked if they could tell the gardener to not turn on his leaf blower outside my window at 7am, they smiled and nodded, but didn’t actually fix the problem.
We used to have curtains in the beehive to provide privacy for each bed, but then one day they took them all down. When I asked when we could get them back, the staff looked baffled. After 2 days of no curtains we started rigging sheets and towels, which finally gave us some privacy but made the room resemble a refugee camp.
All in all, the staff needs much better training to provide clearer communication and friendlier service.
